Intriguing set... very much like the sense of emptiness... and the stripped back colour palette... no.3 for me in particular, for its composition, and its almost-but-not-quite-sure-what-it-is-ness... Best

A fly
No.3, the DLL for me! I can vouch for the degree of difficulty in achieving eyes-in-focus on these creatures :shock:, I've tried & it is extremely hard to get! Great shot!. Roger. I read somewhere that their legs are "deciduous"..... get your brain round that, then!!

Butterflies (Image Heavy)
Very good indeed :D. Composition, focus, lighting excellent. The Painted Lady might look better with a dark background, but you can't tell a butterfly where to stand. Isn't the cornflower a scabious and the bracken flower a bramble (blackberry) flower? I'll back your enthusiasm for K3 + DA*30...

Fairford...The Crowd
Some images to hopefully convey the atmosphere of the event via crowd. All with K-50 / DA HD 55-300WR as I didn't want to be changing lenses back and forth. 1. Early arrivals set up 2. Breitling No.6 3. Old Bike 4. Ice Cream van 5. Feel the Force 6. Canadian Ramp Queu...

Fairford...The Crowd
Some good shots, especially some of those of the crowds and the static planes - and hopefully the brolleys/tents probably didn't get too much use at the weekend. I agree with not forcing your way right to the front at Fairford, but hanging back ten yds or so from the crowdline because the ground...

Hartland Quay
Hi all Made a trip down to Hartland Quay in North Devon with the camera back in early June. I've long been fascinated by Hartland, primarily for its quite extraordinary geology - the kind of place that makes you properly gasp. I was lucky enough to spend a long weekend in winter there with my p...

Hartland Quay
Thanks both... Nigel, thanks for detailed thoughts... very useful... yes, 8 and 9 are essentially the same shot with different shutter speeds... liked both of them for different reasons, so posted them both, but on balance wld say that no.8 just shades it for me too... thanks both also for though...

Hartland Quay
Cheers Steve... thanks for your thoughts... yes, I think that’s a fair assessment... That was pretty much my dilemma... a fascinating place that I really wanted to spend time in (and also photograph) vs the probability that it was pretty unlikely I was going to come back with anything particularl...

Hartland Quay
Thanks Serge... yes, will be going back to see what else I can find... ... much prefer a bit of isolation and quiet, quality time... Definitely with you on that. Although, to my after-the-fact surprise, I sometimes manage to create my own bubble of tranquility within the madding crowd... Yes, ...

A couple of Q10/05 pictures and a question...
For a £20 new lens, that's not bad at all. It might be better to ask your questions in the Mirrorless Cameras section. But since I'm here, here are some thoughts. I don't have the Q10/05 but can confirm that Q and Q-S1 bodies with 03 'toy' fisheye lens do not give the Morse code sounds you de...

Skomer Puffins
Great catalogue of the day on the island Nigel - nice to see you back mate regards

Skomer Puffins
Thank you for the positive feedback. I was rather pleased with myself when on arrival I realising how comfortable these Puffins are in the company of humans that on a whim I'd brought my fisheye along, I was not expecting to get this up close and personal .Great catalogue of the day on the island...

Dragonflies
Thank you both. I don't have a DA*300 but I do have a standard 55-300 that takes equally good pictures. I tend to leave that on the K5 since the PLM is designed for the K3. The PLM's auto focus is marginally quicker but image quality is comparable I think. The only extra benefit is that it's quiet.

Painted Ladies
Definitely worth getting a record of that invasion as a reminder of what might be a once in a lifetime event for you. No. 8 is my favourite lady, it's the way the wings drift out of focus. Pity about the distracting white patch in top right corner, is there a way you could reduce it's brightness so ...

Egg Case...
Thank you both for your kind comments, I can't get my head around how thin the stalk is & how strong it must be, bearing in mind how it was flexing back & forth in the slight breeze there was at the time! The web says it's just hardened mucus!! :( Once you see one, they're all over the place.....

Portrait Session with Pentax Q and 07 *Mount Shield Lens
Not sure how I feel about only the centre of the frame being in focus for a portrait shoot :?

Portrait Session with Pentax Q and 07 *Mount Shield Lens
A good bit of self-discipline! Not sure how I feel about only the centre of the frame being in focus for a portrait shoot :? I feel the same; 2 and 4 - the oof effect is too pronounced for the face. However I do like no 1 and 3 where the effect is less pronounced and doesn't adversely affect the fa...

A Couple of Moths
A couple of contrasting moths. Not as colourful as butterflies, but lovely creatures all the same (well, I think so...). The first is a plume moth (don't know which) that spent the evening on the back of a garden seat. It even positioned itself so a head-on shot was possible. The second is a larg...
