Wooded waterfall walk at Arthog, and an excursion up to LLanberis
Some great results from some great scenes! My favourite of the colour ones is the last one with the sunset.... It's got it all, layered depth, muted pastel tones and heavy atmosphere. I know, at least a while back, if I had shot the "candy box" ones, I'd have been told they were oversaturated.......

Northumberland 2018
Thanks for all the comments. East coast? Is that where it is? Sorry carmagw I didn’t realise you had got up that early. Definitely worth it. Didn't get up early, they are sunsets, the sun being to the far left and actually out of shot but reflecting the colours nicely. The position of the harb...

Exuvium - but of what?
Whilst rummaging in my store of empty plant pots I found this discarded exoskeleton (called an exuvium or exuvia). The creature must have gone in there for privacy and safety but I have no idea what it was. Six legged, two antennae, a long proboscis, stumpy looking wings. The surviving detail...

Exuvium - but of what?
I think you may be correct with a shieldbug. I had rejected that because of the long proboscis but having looked at some images of live ones from underneath, they do appear to have one which is set very far back and flat against the underside. You do learn a lot from macro photography ! Derek, they...

Life and Death
Cheers Karlo I prefer the 2nd one as well. I went back and had a proper look and took the 2nd shot.

Museums - ongoing...
Like my last post from a while back, these are from the very nice municipal museum in Agen (halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, southwest France). This room was mostly occupied by local native François-Xavier Lalanne, known for his utilitarian (cabinets, drawers, sofas...) animalistic sculpt...

Dragonflies and a couple of birds
Out and about once more with the DA*300 and 1.4 teleconverter to find dragonflies now that the butterflies seem to be a lot less numerous. Stumbled upon a couple of feathered friends along the way and managed some reasonable but not spectacular dragonfly in flight photos for the first time using cat...

Excellent shots, especially the manual focus BIF with that big fat lens on the front :)

Last walk with K1
Cheers guys, It's a combo I'll definitely try to regain, I honestly can't praise the Samyang enough. I left the lens wide open apart from the 2 bird shots, which were f2.4 for bif a little ambitious And f2.8 for the gull on the handrail. It kind of makes you think about how shots will loo...

Nice series of images. The back to front Pie is so lovely.

Keep it simple
Razor sharp! The overall photo is pleasing but I might prefer having the front of the flower in focus - although that'd throw the rest of the photo out of focus (and I quite like the sharp edges of the plants in the bottom right corner)

On the Road - Structures
Hi all... as I mentioned a while back, I've been on the move, touring, with the day job for a while now (the past year and a half pretty much, with a fair amount more on the cards to come). This tends to mean a different town/city every week. Whilst this has impacted a fair amount on the kinds of ...

A Happy First Day
We had two start new schools last week, and this one began Reception class. As can be seen from this shot after he got home, it had been a good day! Lighting setup and settings the same as in this thread … Pentax K7 / D FA28-105mm

Vintage Sports Cars at Loton Park 2018
Nice set. Don't worry too much about panning. No one starts off shooting really slow shutter speed panning shots. It's only a case of practice. For me I just plant my feet, in a nice comfortable wide stance, and swivel at the waist/ hips It's possible to get good shots at really slow speeds ...

Vintage Sports Cars at Loton Park 2018
I do like that image Peter, as you say, it doesn't do for all of them. I don't generally carry a tripod, and in fact this time as I wasn't in my car I just had the Sigma 18-200 lens on, where I might have got slightly better from the bigger lens. When someone else is driving, I don't want to be the ...

No. 3 for me too. Moody and thoughtful. No. 6 has something that you don't see often these days: a Sierra. Welcome back Alistair.
