Inspired by Derek and back my macro roots!
Impressive magnification and IQ, for such a (I presume) small outlay. The bugs have never been an area of photography I really enjoy looking at, however as I tell Derek, I can certainly appreciate the skill and stealth involved.

Well you certainly haven’t lost your touch David... super set... not my area of expertise so can’t offer any technical thoughts, but I particularly like the head-on shots 1 & 3... really direct... top stuff... Best

Thanks all for the comments, I do need to do more of this stuff, I enjoy it and used to be a lot more prolific than I am recently! I might use the spare afternoon we now have on Sunday since England went out of the World Cup! Cheers David

First Sigma 50-500mm images
Gareth How do you find the focus speed and accuracy of the 50-500 (and from where did you finally get that lens as I have seen few, if any, advertised recently)?

First Sigma 50-500mm images
Thank you all. Got lucky with the light, or unlucky as locally we've got bioluminescent algae here and the night I shot these the sea was electric blue but I opted to play with the new lens instead! Loving the lens! John, I find the speed of AF with the K1 to be blindingly fast but this is a scr...

Les demoiselles
A couple more from a day or so afterwards. The females seem to appear out of nowhere and deliberately fly past a roost of 6 or 7 males which promptly erupts to chase her. She leads them a merry chase until one manages to catch her - presumably the best and strongest flyer of the group, which is w...

Superb image - both simple and clever at the same time, inviting you in to examine the detail of each item then drawing you back out to appreciate the simple composition and beautifully faded colour palette. P.O.T.W. candidate 8)

Hi Roger, the comment from Gareth is in your Aesculus Hippocastanum II thread..... He suggested a crop to improve focus on the key subject. I doubt he, or many others, would have even considered your response, which seemed to be based on scientific and accuracy aspects, rather than a traditional art...

Embrace the flare
Lovely shots, but I have to agree with John regarding the flare. I never made it to Sirmione, but did spend three nights in Riva del Garda a few years back. Wonderful part of the world.

Kensington with the M75-150
Thank you for the extra info, Nigel. I like the mono image of the window, but I just wondered if it is possible for a visitor to get into the building, to see and photograph the back-lit colours and designs of the stained glass - many churches are locked these days, except for religious services. ...

Kensington with the M75-150
Excellent Nigel, some really good compositions here and the colours / focus are spot-on. I must admit I rarely get the old manual focus lenses out nowadays, not sure why, but it's probably down to time and the desire to travel a bit lighter than I used to. Must have a go with my M-50 F1.4 one da...

Todays Macro efforts
I went out a couple of times today to see what was stirring in the garden, here are a few that made the cut for me. I just couldnt get an angle on this, had to guess where the focus was, she was laying eggs on a nettle in the garden against the wall by , on Flickr by , on Flickr ...

An afternoon walk - image heavy.
I find it amazing how much there is to look at and photograph when I am out walking. It is just a matter of where you choose to focus as you go along - the trees and the cows or the plant stems you walk past ! The spring brood of butterflies has now matured. These will not survive the autumn bu...

RIAT 2018 Static and Taxi
Cheers Peter. I took about 1500 this year...by a small margin my most ever on one day. Takes a long time constantly shuttling back and fro, and that's after viewing them all at least once to see what you've got. Not helped either by an anomaly i've noticed with the use of compatible batteries on ...
