A moment in the sun
The dish is a cheap plastic £1 mixing bowl from a £1 shop. Inside painted white, outside black. I have repurposed it again as I have used it in the past as a beauty dish. It had a biscuit tin lid around where the coffee tin is now and a small slot at the back for the flash head to sit into. I...

More Tulips ;)
Trying to create a bit of variety from the back garden the other day... 1. Clarity reduced slightly, to soften the effect: 2. A rice paper texture added to flatten yet emphasis the muted colours: 3. ICM (In Camera Movement) - not something I've tried a lot of, but thought I'd give i...

4 and 5 I like very much. The first could have been a classic with a narrower DOF and nailing the focus on the woman, but I do understand that to capture that "moment in time" is not easy. I would also like to see 10 as a crop with less of the ladder man on display.... ie crop just below his jack...

Hiding in the bushes
Was playing with an old lens M 200mm f4 on the K1 at the weekend and spotted little Ripley in the bushes. Just managed to get exposure and focus together before he moved. I quite like the way the 200mm has isolated him.

Hiding in the bushes
Nice focus effect! That is a lovely lens .... I still enjoy my M75-150 F4, which I guess is from the same era. Your shot shows good contrast and strong colours, and great exposure. And yes, 'getting focus and exposure together' is quite a feat with an M lens ! Its a different ballgame to modern ...

Hiding in the bushes
I find the main mistake I make is forgetting my aperture setting, or forgetting I need to change it, plus of course forgetting to re - meter with the green button when I've moved position or angle into different light! Haha, yes likewise. We are so used to auto exposure that it is easy to forget to ...

Hiding in the bushes
One little trick i do like when using manual mode with a modern lens is once i have set the exposure i wish, if you press the exposure lock button you can turn either front or back e-dial to change Tv or Av setting and the camera will adjust the other to keep the exposure the same. This is useful fo...

A Walk along the Jurassic Coast
A few images taken during a walk this week Eastwards from West Lulworth along the cliff path to Mupe Bay and back along the coast path to Lulworth Cove. Much of the route passes through the army's Lulworth live firing ranges and is closed to the public for much of the year and so remains totally un...

Lensbaby and everything else
Thank you all, your words are very kind. The Lensbaby images I trialled out with various apertures and warped focus planes to see what effects I could get. I agree the look is a little 'drunk' and makes you feel queasy when viewing! I was unsure if it was a good look or not! The poppy shot I did sho...

Scary thing in the kitchen
Thanks to both of you for taking the time to suggest what the moth is - on balance I think it's a lime hawk moth having looked at both , maybe this helps You're welcome. We had one on our garage door a few years back - quite an impressive wingspan and great camouflage (although not on the bla...

A few garden bugs
Wow, superb, were these hand held and have you cropped them ? Hi Chris, yes hand held and cropped. I will post an uncropped one later. Around 8-10 inches away. The tubes limt your max focus distance.

2 of my favorite Pentax shots, worlds aprt.
Love the first, that said, second one has amazing colors. I'd totally try to creatively blend the two, given how the focus is in the centre; but then, I am weird :p Fantastic shots.

Bees with a 600mm :)
Was messing about with a Pentax Manual Focus 300mm lens with the A 2x-S converter the other day and spotted the Bees on the Apple Blossom, so a bit of pre-focusing and a lot of luck I got a couple of shots I enjoyed.... Click for more detailed images! 8)

Bees with a 600mm :)
Super sharp action captures! Very good job there ..... Now you'll have to share you're secrets .... You must have a special set of focus point array selections and AF-C mode choices up your sleeve .....

Bees with a 600mm :)
Impressive shots - I like no 1 best, just to be different. PS Nigel - these were with a manual focus lens so I think the AF-C settings are probably not relevant!
