White, blue and purple butterflies
Very nice set of well taken images with very interesting observations. The dry hot weather has not helped the larger species as you commented in one of my posts last week. Of particular note for me is the very “tatty buddleia“ usually very abundant and blooming in late summer that should be c...

B+W portraits (dog)
I had a lot of fun taking these the other week. I used my recently acquired ME-F + 35-70/2.8. The worlds first auto-focus SLR from 1981. Shot on Ilford XP2.

Characters at Masham 2018
All comments appreciated. Looking back at the big beard, I agree a wider FOV would have worked better and a mental note has been made. Best regards

Nature and the DA*300
That's a great combination (K5iis + DA*300) and the close focus allows excellent pseudo-macro shots. Your images look even better over on Flickr 8) - Particularly like "Norfolk Grasses"! I did notice an odd one or two of your shots seemed very slightly "soft", I think it may be down to the shu...

2 flies and a beetle
I think it's amazing how wonderful the macro world looks. I like your lighting on the last one, no hotspots or shadows and the focus on the eye is great.

Inspired by Derek (again)
Nice to be connected in any minor way to shots like these. 😁😁😁 Lovely lighting on the first 2 and the colour of the spider just pops against that soft green background. Sweet butterfly shot too. You've nailed the focus on these perfectly 👏👏👏 Cr...

Pond
I decided to experiment with the tilt function of the 24mm TS Samyang lens, aiming to get front to back sharpness at f8.0. This involves a bit a fiddling between the manual focus and the degree of shift and whilst the lens was pointing downwards it is surprising how little tilt is needed to move the...

Gin still
Beautiful copper tones and crisp clarity! I like the depth of focus effect on the first one, honing in on the gauge. Is that the new 50mm lens? (guess we're going to see lots more shots at 50mm than we're used to!)

Yes, more dragonflies...
Another great set, Dan! I tried to get the elusive 'in flight' shot this week but didn't manage it as the one I found was moving the whole time and did not stop. Especially when getting territorial with another male..now that would have been some shot! I pre-set the focus on my DA*300 20 about 2m so...

In that case I am also attaching my example of dragonfly. It's a North American square-bodied "sucker" species, often found near medium or small hi-fi racks, as well as on mobile players ;) They still make those or have you just had that a while? [quote:3496ace15f="AndrewH"]Another great set...

Traction Engine Rally and Regatta@Whitby
My grandson was over from Germany so took him to see the traction engines and motorcycles at Whitby. He's daft on motorcycles so spent most of the time around the bikes and even managed to be offered a sit on a 1939 Scott Flying Squirrel. I was back at Whitby yesterday to see any motorcyc...

Fun at The Fringe
Oh these are good. 1. b&w suits the subject and you nailed focus and correct dof. 3. is very interesting. Perhaps a tighter (square) crop ? 5. Is my pick of the bunch. Your camera angle is superb.

Crystal Palace Abstracts
In the real scene, what is the point (!) of the white pyramids ? Good question Philip, and I couldn't find any answers …. it was built early 60's, so I can only assume they are there to attract passing Abstract Photographers with their Spotmatic's and rolls of HP4 ! Here's a few conversions to ta...
