Osprey in Flight
A few shots of a juvenile Male Osprey that has taken up residence at a fairly local pond. No one is sure if he will stay, he should just be passing through, but he's been here 3 weeks now, These are around 50% crop, and shot either in single centre point AFC or Multi 9 point focus. Handheld, DA 150-...

jumping spider
Nice detail on that one. Is he a friendly one? You do have some spiders out there with a pretty fearsome reputation. Thank you, yes he is a friendly fellow. they will often creep out from under the table (outside) and jump on you and back, quite harmless

Bug Portrait
A couple of wonderful macro there. I like the lighting and the subject plus your focus is spot on.

Bug Portrait
Love these images especially the first shot. For me the dark background works, it gives the insect a monstrous look as if emerging into some ones nightmare. The subtle colouring of the leaf and its shape adds to the image capped by your focus which is spot on where it needs to be. Great to see y...

A great lens, compact and sharp. Mine needed no focus adjustments and I have used it for many subjects from landscape, macro (with a tube), wildlife and portrait. It is in the latter it really shines. A real gem of a lens that I probably don't use enough and from your samples it looks like you ha...

No obvious issues, but you need to be pixel peeping at large images on thin D.O.F. shots to look for focus issues. I assume you've given the lens a good visual inspection looking through the elements (fungus, excessive dust, haze). It's a lovely lens - I'm sure you'll enjoy it :)

Are you that happy guy that got black, Made In Japan one for £390? I tried to bid few seconds before end, but that was exactly when my router decided to have a break. Oh well... Love the 3D effect and the bokeh. Damn, why these are so expensive nowadays :( That's right. I think it is a pretty good ...

Brighton with DA 18-55 AL WR
No.1 nicely framed with enough detail captured in the black pillar in foreground right to keep the eye travelling back and forth in the shot No. 3 great choice of angle which makes the shot. Why don't I think to do this more often ? No. 5 I am a sucker for b+w portraits so no choice really ...

Brighton with DA 18-55 AL WR
Thanks Peter ....i was surprised that even at F13-16 the depth of field was quite small ay such close focus distances. I think it's helped bring out the best if the lens however....

Brighton with DA 18-55 AL WR
I think these are some of the best shots you've posted Nigel, I really like them. They are different from your usual style and very refreshing. No. 4 in particular is great, very imaginative use of composition, perspective and flash! I also like the aperture choices you've made, they effectivel...

Brighton with DA 18-55 AL WR
Excellent shots Nigel. I like no 4 very much and the one of your daughter is smashing, think I like the mono best! Thanks Jeremy, good to see you out on the forum again! Yep, mono for me too .... Thanks also David and Philip. Yes, something refreshing, and this was a very rare chance over the sum...

Brighton with DA 18-55 AL WR
Thanks David. My 18-55 has been really good, so much so that I've managed to get by without buying an upgrade, such as one of the popular Sigma 17-50 options. I've considered a few times trying a Pentax 16-45 or 17-70, but kept coming back around to thinking the 18-55 was good enough. I think no...

Mad Cool music festival with SFXn & M 50mm f/1.7
I just acquired an SFXn. I'm looking forward to using it even more now I've seen these. It's a very capable camera, from the brief time when AF was new and therefore manual focus ease had not yet become a secondary consideration, and camera build quality had not yet gone down the toilet. Thanks e...

Random shots
Few random shots from the last couple of months. Mostly taken with K1 and DFA 24-70 although 2 portraits taken with DA*55 with shallow DOF, may not have nailed focus but I like the results. No 1 No 2 No 3 No 4 No 5 No 6 No 7 No 8 No 9 No 1...

Return of an oldie
That's me (only temporary, I'm afraid) and a Pentax of mine... I know I stopped being a Pentax DSLR user some time ago when I went m4/3 (though I did acquire a Nikon D80 recently and have been using that a bit, but that’s another story), however… I was doing some tidying up yesterday and came ...

K-1 in Cornwall
Maybe I just need more time to get used to it, I'm probably just not in the right frame of mind tbh. Forgot to add that when we got back we found that our son had switched off the fridge and freezer just before we left so arrived home to a bad smell, water all over the kitchen floor and rather a ...

Forgot to add that when we got back we found that our son had switched off the fridge and freezer just before we left so arrived home to a bad smell, water all over the kitchen floor and rather a lot of spoiled food. Maybe you could do plug into an unswitched socket - or even fit an unswitched cord ...

A few from me trip to Pickering
All punchy and good looking photos, with a strong focus on the subjects. The backgrounds are nicely complementary too, and there's no intrusion from the modern world. I like the red colour popping, a sort of theme throughout .... its all lips, nails, poppies and hair accessories!
