Bees with a 600mm :)
Thanks for all the comments - they are really appreciated! There are no secrets, but a few things that I think gave these two shots an edge.... Firstly, the tele-converter is from the same era as the lens and was regarded as very high quality in its day, and although it's not a matched convert...

Landrover in a hedge
Man I would love to pull that, what looks like, a Series 2a out of there and in my garage! Body looks great still, just depends on the chassis and outriggers but on the looks of it, looks an easy project to get back on the road. Begs the question, why is it there!

Landrover in a hedge
Like the Jags, there must be a bob or two in spare parts there. Yeah, you would have thought so wouldn't you. I forwarded a link to my LR loving youngest son. He is currently in Wales with his father-out-law green laneing. He is doing up an ancient LR pickup in his spare time. Another son has a...

Flowers!
Shot these in my mums back garden. Was looking to get a more artistic 'wall art canvas' look rather than a whole flower flower image that's more of a generic specimen image. All K3ii & Sigma EX 105mm 1. by , on Flickr 2. by , on Flickr 3. by , on Flickr

Those are a type of daisy (I think), my mother too has them in the back garden in a pot. Nice photos 8)

Last few flowers!
Very good, lots of softness both in the colours and the transitions between in and out of focus zones . I always find this type of subject tricky because it's hard to decide exactly where to focus, as well as being difficult to see the focus point clearly .... Depending on the lens the focus move...

Last few flowers!
Thanks Nigel 8) In an ideal world you could focus stack and have the whole flower in focus but in reality, even with a plamp it'd still move about too much so I choose to either focus on the stamen, or petals, depending on the image

Spring macro with the Q-S1 (and D-FA 100mm WR)
I really just wanted to see how close I could get to it. It wasn't moving all too quickly so I put a bit of honey down on a surface and let it drink. It might be a better idea to get further back and snap a wider shot. Maybe something like this image of a wasp chilling out near a window (D-FA and 1....

Landrover in lanzarote from a few years back
I seen the other Landrover post and thought I'd post this. I'd love to have one like this, seems everything legacy appeals to me including the lens used to take this photo. :)

That looks like the one my son is restoring now! In better condition too - much drier in Lanzagrotty than in soggy Holland of course. No doubt it was a banana transporter.

Landrover in lanzarote from a few years back
I think it was a 50mm, probably the Pentax-A f1.7, I'll have to check. Maybe a Pentax 28mm, maybe the M28 3.5? I like the jeep the way it is, people in the Canary Islands are chilled out and don't care about such nonsense. A Landrover is a work vehicle, not a 'Chelsea tractor'. :P I seen two t...

Landrover in lanzarote from a few years back
My son will not restore his to showroom condition - he goes off roading so there would be little point. It will be made safe and the tin worm will be dealt with. I doubt he'll even give it a paint job. As long as it gets through the Dutch MOT he will be happy. It is for fun not show. It cost him ar...

Sorry to hear about the climber. I hope he makes a good recovery. My son's father-out-law is into all things LR and has lots of contacts for parts, which helps, and a friend of my son is a qualified welder, which also helps! He was like the cat that got the cream when he showed us his LR. AS I sa...

Portrait night
The off camera flash gives them a very natural lighting look, particularly for no. 2. No. 1 might be a bit too back lit, at least it looks that way on my monitor. Could the shadow detail be brought out a bit unless it was the intention to be quite dark?

Embankment Gardens, Tulips
Fabulous vibrant set, I'll buck the trend and go for 6, which I think is the left hand flower of 3, Liking 7 nearly as much. I like the way you have framed the oof areas to lead into the focus of the shot, unashamed pun. All great though. Must resist manual lens pull :D:D:D Derek

Those red and black beetles...sort of Darth Vader does Red Riding Hood. Great shots That's so funny, as I was looking at them and trying to get the focus right, and I do mean trying, I was thinking little red riding hood :D:D:D Cheers Derek
