Signs
Its a beautiful looking town, and signs like that make a great subject .... (I need to get back into the City of London one day soon!). There's the technical challenge that comes from shooting upwards towards the bright sky, and the need to keep that under control without underexposing the signs, bu...

Landscapes are a difficult genre (to me)
(I thought I had posted this this morning, but I must have done something wrong, as it is nowhere to be found.) I very much enjoy walking in the countryside and taking in the vistas, be they common or exceptional. Photographing them is another pair of sleeves (as we say in french) however, and I...

Landscapes are a difficult genre (to me)
Best way to use this forum is to take those landscape images and bring them here for C&C. You'll get various perspectives (yours to choose or to lose as you see fit) from the members. Go back the same locations in different light, then take pics and compare them. See if you can spot why it is tha...

Landscapes are a difficult genre (to me)
As to your problem with the screen, can you put a towel over your head and the camera? I do this now and then to see in Live View. Ah, that's not what I meant. I've actually had little to no problem at all with the screen itself, it's simply that looking at it (in a landscape context) I just don't ...

Easter in Cornwall
Here are a few I took during the week between the rain. I used the tracking focus for the first time on most, and am pretty pleased with the results but comments welcome.

Those surfer shots look fantastic, I think you've picked the focus points perfectly :D. The bird shots and the seascape are probably excellent too, but for me the small size of the images makes them lose the impact.

Easter in Cornwall
Thanks both, I was pleased with how well the tracking focus worked, contrary to the conventional view that this is a Pentax weakness. All are taken with a K-1 and a DFA 150-450mm, handheld. Lennybloke, yes the images are a bit small but I reduced them to download or it would have taken all day! They...

British GT at Oulton Park, Easter Monday
Thanks for sharing, it was grim weather wise. I was watching the live stream. For what its worth, my thoughts : When I've shot in the rain I often have top keep wiping front element / filter as rain gets on is (misty spray can be worse than the odd drop). I try not to use filters where p...

Cone and Seed
A cone picked up in the garden, a couple of weeks back. Nothing unusual there so far , then. But, we have no conifers in the garden. or anywhere near! I'm supposing it had been picked up by some itinerant creature & then dropped. for some reason.... In the meantime, it's dried out a bit, the...

Car on black piece of perspex with black cloth as a background. All living room lights off and light painted with a £15 Neewer cont...

not the best weather but went anyway
Went up to Hadrian's wall today. Weather was hazy, dull and intermittent low cloud. First clear vista from the approach path. (43mm Ltd) As you walk down from the West (31mm Ltd) Looking back to the West (17-28mm FE) It's a good old hike around this area. Had lunch in the ...

Bellows Macro
Top images, although that last one might have benefitted from a focus stack since the spider's back is a bit distracting with the blur. Good to see you're making the most of all that kit lol

Bellows Macro
Thank you 😁 Haris, I do get that stacking would have allowed me to have most if not all of the spider in focus., and if I had been able to us the tripod for these I probably would have given it a go. But had to handheld while trying to lean in over bushes to get the spider. I will try it ...
