Buckingham Palace - Night
Thanks Gary, John, Chris, John, Peter, Karlo, Gareth, Nigel, Rob, Serge, Rick for thoughts re these... John L and Rob, yes, interesting re the barriers... funnily enough, my first thought when I was there was to frame them out, but as you say Rob it put the Palace just a tad too tight to the bot...

Thank you all. Andy, yes, monochrome is my preferred means of photographic expression, and I find a white border (or whitish when printing - the paper I use is slightly off-white) generally helps the eye focus on the monochrome nature of the image (not to mention its composition). Not that eve...

If you go down to the woods today...
The first one is a cracker. I have to ask however, why use a flash? These subjects are going nowhere soon so a tripod and remote release with however many seconds exposure will produce equally nice results. The last image is a lovely example of something being in front of one's eyes but quite invisi...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/154659433@N04/albums/72157711652581233/ Finally finished a roll of Velvia 50 I took to Corfu in September. Thought I'd share a few, just for something a little different. All taken with my "metering 2 stops over" Spotmatic and my new 35mm Flek. The good folks at t...

D-FA 100mm Macro? Nope, it's close focus - but not a macro lens :wink: Keep trying 8)

Vivitar 28mm 2.8 Close Focus? It's about the only one I can think of with 'Close Focus' in the title. Or the beautiful Voigtlander you've up for sale with the Close Focus attachment...

Folks clamour after new fast glass but there is such an abundance of magic, beauty and capability in classic heirloom glass and it's just wonderful to own, even for the simple joy of ownership. Whatever the lens is, the image you created with it is beautiful.:D Thank You Defrgged - and yes, some...

Argggh I was going to say a Flek. I noticed how close the focus was on mine the other day.

How do you control the aperture on a flektogon? I've often been tempted but I only see the traditional m42 pin sticking out the back. There doesn't appear to be an A/M switch and they are not pre-set.

There are various versions of the Flektogon - the later ones do have the A/M switch on, the Zebra 2.8 version has the manual metal protrusion on the side of the lens that allows you to view & compose at full aperture then depress the lens protrusion and press the green button to do your metering and...

Bonfire Night
yet again Bill you take an ordinary subject and create extraordinary images from it. Number2 is the stand out image. Nothing is in focus or in detail, but It just sums up what bonfire night is about. 9 is nice with the circular bokeh, but 8 is rather sinister..... expecting a dragon from Wil...

Bonfire Night
Thanks Defragged, Andy, Peter, Rick and Serge... Andy, thank you, the firework bursts are multiple exposures, an amalgamation of ten frames or so... as per usual, took a load of these that didn't work at all, but the more interesting ones for me tended to layer the fireworks in varying degrees of...

Shropshire White Horse
A wet and cold morning up on the Shropshire hills this weekend just gone, with a sunrise you could have put money on. With broken cloud and a calm wind at sunrise quickly changing, to a driving weather front from the Welsh Valleys that swept in rain and snow the photography was a little limited. ...

Shropshire White Horse
A remarkable picture. I've come back to look at it several times and it seems fresh each time. That, for me, is one of the signs of a truly great picture. It must surely be a prize-winner. Just got to choose the right competition - preferably one with lots of £££ as the prize :mrgreen::mrgreen:. ...

Shropshire White Horse
I've also come back to look at it several times - there's something a bit odd (good odd) about it, and I think I've worked out what it is! The photo was taken at a telephoto length (somewhere between 60mm and 250mm) - but because of the combination of the composition and the angle of the horses h...

Reservoir fungus
Surprised to see the fungi shots were taken with the 28-105 - the "look" would have suggested a fast aperture telephoto... ) Yes, that's what the 28-105 really can do! Agreed, nicely spotted and with a lot of warmth in the colours.... But you could help the lens out a bit by actually doing some sha...

Valletta
I had the opportunity to spend a few days in Malta recently. I can't say I would have chosen the island as a travel destination, nor that I developed any special bond to it while there. If I were to go back, I'd need to plan things differently and spend my time out in the countryside (or what is ...

Valletta
I like the odd, observational angles, and the focus on the mundane...a tradesmans entrance view of things. Nice exposure control with the high key emphasis too. I'm not liking the black and white here though. I think they are crying out to burst into colour, and I'm not convinced that what contra...
