Last One Out
Hi all... as I mentioned a couple of weeks back, I was down in Sennen, Cornwall over Easter... unusually for Sennen, there was a large, sustained and clean swell running for a number of days in a row... which meant there were a lot of surfers about... as a longtime (though far from expert) surfer my...

Sennen Surfers ICM/Multiple Exposures
As someone who routinely rejects my own surfer photos if there isn’t pin sharpness on the body I like the fresh approach in the closer action shots, probably because they have motion blur rather than just being out of focus and they work rather well. Inspiration for my next Cornwall trip!

Sennen Surfers ICM/Multiple Exposures
I think the problem is that the surfer ones look like the results we might expect from a photographer who was inept, and unable to focus or understand shutter speeds ..... We know that's not the case, but we are still stuck with the actual images, what they look like and the impression that conveys....

Sennen Surfers ICM/Multiple Exposures
What is the point? What's the point of what? I'm not sure what you're asking. Perhaps think of your own photograph "Fly the Flag" I think it was called. Consider your photograph then come back to these and look afresh maybe. Great that this set has sparked a little discussion.

Sennen Surfers ICM/Multiple Exposures
Thanks Andy, Serge and Peter... good to have your thoughts/comments on these... Serge, thanks for your detailed thoughts... very useful as ever... yes, I agree, the middle shots are probably more concerned with the movement of the surfers themselves, the first few/last few (what would probably b...

One Lens Challenge at the V & A
That's a super set Nigel - and a great example of the single lens challenge - you've shown how to use the 135 really well, flattened perspective, oof backgrounds, thin focus plane, and even an imaginative self portrait :wink:

One Lens Challenge at the V & A
Nice set with no 7 for me; the tiling behind the lady has a slight optical illusion effect. It could be sloping away or (almost) curving back over her - to my eyes anyway :wink: Some discipline to stick to the one lens/ focal length!

One Lens Challenge at the V & A
it's a good way to force some thinking when framing and positioning, that's for sure. For sure indeed. I have an M135 and I just don't know what to do with it. I simply makes me quite uncomfortable (which can be a good thing, if one can harness that discomfort in some way - I haven't yet). #1 ...

Nice sharp, colourful set. I have spent a day in Dublin with a 135mm as my only lens for the day, and I found it refreshing. I think it's a great focal length for walk about. Makes you think about the shot more. Good shooting sir. 👏👏👏 Thanks Derek, this sort of thing ...

Autumn InfraRed
Very nice trio. My favourite is the first image. I have the pleasure of owning a Samsung GX-1L (Pentax ist DL2) that was IR converted by Richard Gadd, and calibrated to auto focus with the DA 18-55, which is a lens he used himself for IR. My DA 18-55 is more or less glued to the Samsung, a great len...

Sunlight through the leaves
Making a pot of coffee this morning I spotted through the window the sunlight back-lighting the red leaves on the tree in the back garden, so I popped out and snapped this little selection (Better Bigger) ... All shot with the FA* 80-200/2.8 on K1 mkII :)

Sunlight through the leaves
Thanks for the additional comments - I do like the Bokeh from the FA*80-200 but unfortunately it only ever gets used in the back garden, it's too heavy to have in the camera bag for most outings :( If anyone happens to be looking to buy that lens then it's available :cry: :oops:

Craflwyn and Llyn Dinas (Wales 2)
A lovely walk around Craflwyn Hall brought us to Llyn Dinas late afternoon, such a gorgeous location that I went back there for another go. Hope this is not overdoing things! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Last dragonflies of the year.
Devouring prey is an excellent capture! I was taking photos of that very dragonfly, very close up. It flew up in their suddenly. I though "bugger, I spooked it" when just as quickly it landed back in almost exactly the same spot. I then noticed something drop from it's mandibles through the lens....

There's something about this photo (random)
Shallow front and back dof possibly? The lighting is also nice.

Kestrel - Richmond Park (London)
Looks great! I agree, the focus on the face is impressive considering its position within the planes of focus. Very nice colours and subdued, supportive background.
