Some Weeds....
Fox and cubs (#2,3) are devils to photograph due to their really intense colours. Well done for getting them right. Personally, I hate AF macro lenses because they focus on what they want to and not the precise bit you want. #3 is a good example, where the lens went for the maximum contrast at the ...

Live view macro trial
Following on from Harris's suggestion, I managed to get out and try out live view for macro. Bit of mixed bag for me. Critical focus was hard to ascertain as i had to hold the camera away from myself to pull the neck strap tight to aid in keeping steady. It was beneficial to get a decent view of my...

Live view macro trial
If LV isn't so effective at nailing focus then there's no point using it. As you mentioned, you'll probably get more anchoring when you use the viewfinder so that would lead to steadier focusing. Great pics though.

Live view macro trial
I haven't ruled it out completely yet Harris, there's still some work to be done. I have had to google how to zoom the live view focus on a k3ii, as i couldn't work it out. I have to try that next as i didn't know how when taking these. Nigel, my gut tells me that you are probably correct about ...

A very impressive set of images with lots of quality close up detail. These suggest to me you've got your enthusiasm back. David

But then if you think back didn't you prefer the images from the K10D over everything else? Perhaps it's just me getting old 😄

The Leaving Do
:o:) well knowing our retiring man there I think he would prefer his beers left in!. But I'll certainly do a cropped version too, thanks for the tip, it will bring the focus in to the character more. Thanks for the points about the contrast ...I can try some more pop with the processing. These we...

3 Purple Flowers
Thanks Don, Gareth and Philip. No 2 it is then! I included the others because I liked the way bits of the green foliage around the flower pop into sharp focus.... I have to say that some of the stuff I get out of this D FA28-105 (supposed FF 'kit' lens) really doesnt look like it came from a zoom...

British Touring Cars Croft Circuit 2017 (image heavy)
I've said elsewhere how great I think your set from Croft is :) If I have anything a bit different do you mind if I post in here to save another thread? Great to catch up with George properly and meet Mike :) Sorry I made you walk back to the complex for your pass. I was on a (failed) mission ...

Three Photos, Three Different Approaches
Here's three recent shots of mine that I realised use very specific alternative lighting approaches, the sort of things we often discuss on here, so I wanted to show these alongside each other with an description of the flash use .... I hope the images are interesting and good for some flashy talk :...

Armed Forces Day - Scarborough
Great shots.. sort of disproves that oft stated comment here that photos are fast moving objects can't be captured in focus on a Pentax so me must go to where the grass is greener. I photographed the red arrows that day from my back garden (there's one taken for the monthly comp.)

Swan on the lake
Thank you all for the feed back and kind comments. The photo was taken around 2pm on a very hot day with the sun over my shoulder. It was taken from the jetty looking directly over the swan from about 9 foot. Just got lucky with the light. Regards Ian

Yes that was 2016 and this is clearly a butterfly recovery year. leaving fields uncut round our local park is showing what improvements can be made to help. You need your camera every dog walk though! I saw Orange Tip Butterflies, damselflies breeding and Emperor Dragonflies over the lake on single ...

Thats my boy
You do lose parts of both ears but I feel it makes the image a bit more powerful. All down to personal preference of course. Either way it is an image which brings a huge smile to my face. Thank you for posting. Are they yours ? Thanks Peter for the feed back and pleased you enjoyed the photo. Th...
