Ants
Cheers guys, they are quick, with or without the eggs, it didnt seem to slow them at all. I was lucky with the first one, managed to nail the focus on the eye it was the only one that stopped for a minute.

A few from the garden this morning.
Wow, that second one's a peony! Never seen one like that before. It's a lovely flower. Must be careful what you do with peonies. Many years ago, an expert on Gardeners' Question Time said he had received a letter from a listener saying "Last year I moved a peony from my back garden to front garde...

Seeing as though everyone's shooting macro...
Splendid shots. You are determined to make me jealous of that 200mm aren't you :D Going back to the A 50mm, here's one that shows the same problem you had - "which bit shall I focus on?" - when faced with a scrum of emerging larvae; in this case, ladybirds. These tiny savages fought over and at...

Seeing as though everyone's shooting macro...
Thanks for the comments and sorry for making you jealous David (not), but that lens definitely makes an average photographer appear competent. Your shot illustrating the problem of where to focus is common - I find that when I have a worthy subject and can't decide (or accurately nail the focus I w...

Thanks Ronnie - it's a quick and easy way to escape to another world.... ...in the back garden ;) Cheers Bill - the Spiders were amazing to watch, if you blow gently on them they scatter along the hundreds of tiny threads and then within a few seconds all clump back together :o - they are not...

Chasing a Sunset, Wildlife & Wildflowers around Croome Court in Worcestershire
Cows are the ultimate nosy parkers, they always want to see what you are up to, have a sniff and a good lick to see if your coat is edible. Getting back on track, if I had taken those pictures I would have been quite pleased with them so take some more please.

Fun in the bamboo patch - first experiments...
I've been trying to interact (photographically speaking) with the bamboo patch down by the river. Unsatisfied with what I was getting, I figured I might put that old and rather bland Tokina 28mm on my K-01 with a 12mm extension tube (never used those yet). These are the first results from that set...

Water, Water Everywhere
We're just back from a week near New Quay in west Wales. Close to Devil's Bridge is a butterfly house, but also the hydro-electric power station, run with water from the gorge. And there was plenty of water. These images are from the overflow, using the K-1 and 28-105mm lens. They are actually colou...

Been away for a while...here's some pics
Hi all Apologies to you all and to pentaxuser.com, I haven't been visiting the site for approx. 2 months, usual stuff, busy life etc. I managed to get out on Father's day and shoot some pics in 2 locations; Cromford Vintage Car Show and Crich Tramway Museum. Here are some shots, all K3 and DA*5...

Been away for a while...here's some pics
Very selective focus, as you say, David. Is there a hair selectively out of focus on the tram driver's arm? But seriously, good to see you back and with shots of your customary sky-high technical quality and interest.

Small fly
A flies eyes are traditionally where you get problems with moire on reduction. I've not noticed any serious moire on any of these. -- That's true alright, I've seen plenty to back that up, I cant take any credit for the lack of it in this shot, that's all down to the magic of pentax 😁
