Some thoughts after coming back to this set several times over several days. Perceptive and technical excellence, as usual. Is this actually two sets rolled into one? The almost abstract pictures based on patterns with straight edges seem to form one set, the more scenic pictures with sky and...

Thanks Nigel and Steve for considered thoughts re these... always useful... Yes, agree these are def a bit more disparate as a set... as you say Steve, probably 2 sets in one... took them in a bit more random fashion than I would usually as quite heavily dependent on wherever we happened to be at...

End of the Day, Start of the Night
Thanks folks. When I went out, I was hoping (expecting?) that the cloud bank would be lit up from below as the sun dropped. But the clouds moved and there wasn't much of a show. That field is useful as an artificial horizon, it rises in the middle so you can use it to hide a lot of distracting stuff...

Lincolnshire's Painted Ladies
Having read about the once in a decade population bloom of painted ladies I had awaited their arrival locally with some anticipation. This was my DA*300's last outing before being boxed up and sent back to SRS for the lens wobble to hopefully be cured. I think these show that from an optical point o...

Lincolnshire's Painted Ladies
incredible quality :D Thank you! :-) Beautiful captures. Optically that DA300 still looks perfect! Paul Thank you - I was in 2 minds as to whether to send it back or not, but while clearly the optics are fine, I was concerned that they might be affected in the future. Really missing it though ...

Hanging by a Thread
Hanging by a spidery thread, to be precise, and swinging furiously in the breeze. It looked interestingly messy so worth trying a shot (or ten). Focus had to be entirely random, no chance of tracking. Some tweaking of exposure and curves to darken distracting background. It's certainly not science, ...

Portmeirion through an M50 (Image heavy)
You really have got some nice shots there. I especially like the cast metal tables and chairs. With regard to "green button" metering, habit tends to make us look through the viewfinder, compose etc. and only then do we grope for the green button, cursing the need to keep focus and composition stead...

Portmeirion through an M50 (Image heavy)
I did set the C menu to permit aperture rings but as the Manual just said 'the camera will now operate in Av mode I left it at that assuming it would use the preset aperture ? I will now try your method of using the Green Button One question though - do I need to keep holding the green button whil...

[quote:3496ace15f="PeterKR"] If the manual said that it was wrong. You press the green button once (not holding it down) while in Manual mode. The camera will stop down the lens to the aperture set and take a meter reading. It will set an appropriate shutter speed. Then you can take your pictu...

Is this a false widow?
Possibly a 'Diadem' spider - you need to see its back to be sure....

Yesterday's Butterflies
Was the 1.4 TC helpful? The DA*300 and K3ii are OK for butterflies and I've got good pictures without the 1.4 TC. Minimum focus distance is 1.4m so you'll end up cropping if you want the butterfly to be big in the picture (unless you're photographing big tropical species!). The lens is plenty sharp...

Hello all, I've been busy/away/offline for the past month or so - will try to catch up on viewing and commenting your images in the coming weeks... Back from Berlin and Dollendorf where we spent some time with friends, so photos will be trickling down from the recent trip. I didn't get much soli...

Love the write up and image 👍🏻 Thank you. I like to offer a little back ground info on my images and the reasoning behind them. Sometimes its a preconceived idea and others its quite a random affair.

Not for the Squeamish...
Thanks folks. I bet she can motor if given a prod! She did - had to prod her to get her out of the way. I could motor too if I caught sight of that ! So did the tiny spider whose web she ran into. It came out hiding to the source of the shaking, saw a spider 10 times bigger and ran back as fast ...
