Steam at York
Steam at York Forty years after British Rail ran its last ever steam trains on the mainline the heritage sector steams on with historic and new build locomotives running charter trains alongside the newer electric and diesel trains. Three large steam engines were in York on Saturday with Christma...

Some Trees
That's a lovely and carefully considered set Bill. Using a tripod certainly slows you down and makes you really think about detail and composition. I particularly like No.5 with the rusty fence, a nice touch that. For years I avoided using tripods at all because for 95% of the time they didn't suit...

Steyning Bowl
Thanks for the comments - much appreciated; Nicely shot Andy and glad to see the filters in use. I particularly like the first image Certainly worth the effort to use them (especially adding the ND grads to balance the sky with the foreground) It's a soft delicate light that makes these. You hav...

Whitby on Christmas Day - 1
That really looks like a great day. We love Whitby, hopefully it won't be long before we're back there. Your pictures have inspired me to want to make that sooner rather than later.

Glencoe
Took a day trip to Glencoe yesterday, leaving the house at 3am and getting back home at 8:30pm. Haven't really done any landscapes this year, since I was there at the beginning of the year in horizontal rain. So, out of my comfort zone. All with the K-1. Using the 15-30, except for #s 3 & 4, wher...

A few birdy shots down at the local reserve.
OK, so had a some time, and checked the focus microadjustment values. The camera does, indeed, recognise the TC and 300 as different to the 300 alone. Moreover, I had set different settings for them. So, all good there. As I thought the combo with the TC might be front focusing by a tad, I've ma...

Japan part 1 (image heavy)
My wife and I went to Japan back in June and had an incredible time exploring this fantastic and beautiful country. I posted a thread of the film pictures I took there (https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/pentax-mx-in-japan-59461) and now that I've finished processing the digital ones, I thought...

My 2017 one a month year, 13 photographs!!?
Really tough this but, thought I'd have a go and join the fun. Each photograph taken in the month it features. January February seems to have been a bit lean photographically. I like the light in this one. March, lovely to see this female orange tip so early. April, a bit of r...

There's a wide range of interest in your pick of the year Nigel congratulations. The one I keep going back to most is January - I love the colour in this landscape and the horse is sheer prefection. David

Some of my 2017
Hi all, One a month from my photographic year 2017. My gallery on here has a good selection from our travels. If what preoccupied me most was on here it would have been a lot of butterflies and dragonflies this April to June. Then dogs and my two grandchildren followed by family gatherings. My...

Extreme macro with an 'empty lens' -- IMAGE HEAVY
I will start by saying that this is not my idea. It is fully documented at by an (ex?) PU member. There are several problems with really close-up macro: Use of long extension tubes deprives you of any kind of aperture control from the camera; the light loss means you often can't see anything ...

Extreme macro with an 'empty lens' -- IMAGE HEAVY
Wow. Thanks for all those positive comments. For those about to have a go, there are at least three 'A' series f1.7s going for peanuts on E bay right now. De-glassing them is not difficult. The detail you got on that damsel fly's eye is absolutely marvellous David. I think I shall butcher a zoom ...
