Talacre Point Of Ayr Lighthouse
Nice shot Geoff. Brings back memories from a very long time ago...parents used to have a static caravan on Presthaven Sands, and we often used to walk to the lighthouse...when we as kids weren't leaping off the fabulous sand dunes a short walk from the van. regards Karlo The area is gorgeou...

Lend me a hand?
Quite different from my last set of photos from Biarritz - these are the M35/f2.8 with a 12mm extension tube. Not quite as easy to make interesting use of as the 28/3.5 + 12mm I used for the curtain shots a while back, but I might follow up on the general idea of bodily closeups with other combinat...

Blue Bridge
I vowed next time he comes out with me when he is much older so just stays put :lol: Good luck - my dog is 13+ and still won't stay put, won't even come back when called. That's why she has to be on a lead. :( I think the picture itself tells a story and without the person there I think it would ...

Quick hour out on my daily permitted exercise walk
These were all took 5 minutes from my door. Me and kids went for our daily exercise walk that somehow coincided with sunset !! Saw from a distance about 4 people and all wide birthed and vice versa. Compositions are a bit off as they're rushed shots as not to hang about too long and just keep to th...

Garden hunt to pass the time...
We have a few in an old sink by our back door, they are a lovely splash of colour. No.4 is my fav.

A £10 bunch of Flowers, 1 x white tile with an A3 sheet of paper
Taking on board the constructive comments from the other day, I've gone back and re-shot the rose against the black tile. Exactly the same set up as before, no flash, just available light in the last 15 minutes, very little processing other than a few dust spots on the tile and a crop.

Blackbird for me - crisp, nicely exposed, rich colours and, even at the size uploaded, fabulous detail in the feathers :P

More Old Glass
Some recent, and not so recent, examples of old glass (or crystal, in the case of the Lalique pieces) captured by old glass (SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.4) The Lalique 'Roitlelet' (wren) place card holder (circa 1980) and 'Chouette' (owl) paperweight (circa 1960s; possibly earlier) were photographed ha...

More Old Glass
The owl is quite lovely. The lighting is near perfect and shows it off beautifully. Perhaps it might pay to lose the white rim around the base? Have you tried focus stacking the two glassware images? I had a similar problem and improved it greatly using Combine ZP. (which is free).

Grass dart
Grass dart as in Ocybadistes walkeri sothis, of the skipper family? Exceptional sharpness, clarity and DOF with wonderful pink hues in the flowers. Captured with the judicious use of flash, I'm guessing. What lens did you use? K5 & Tamron 90 + pentax ring flash Thanks for that. I do have a (Sigma...

Marche aux legumes
I went back to the original image and copied the crest of the market building. Increased the canvas size of the perspectively correct version and used the content aware tool to fill in the clouds. Then simply popped the crest on top......

Jasmine flowers
...It's reminded me that a few years ago getting some white jasmine was on the agenda for the garden but I never got round to it. Perhaps it's time to think about it again. Steve This is actually a potted plant that my better half bought the other day as a lovely house plant, but things didn't go...

Jasmine flowers
Funny backstory :) Very pleasing image, with its painting or 'soft focus' effect.

Took my exercise with a star today.....
.... an A* 85mm f1.4 to be precise... A tough walk up Happy Valley to St Ann's Well, then a meander down the winding path back through the Town Centre and the grounds of Malvern Priory. Click for bigger images. 1. Tree trunk in Happy Valley 2. Gnarled Trunk detail on the meander down ...

Paths to ... ?
No.1 is my preference - personally I would chop off the right third completely, removing the dark bush and branches and making the subtle coloured areas the main focus :wink: (just my opinion though!)

And today's A series lens is......
Yep - it as the Pentax A 100mm f2.8 (non-macro). A beautifully compact telephoto with a nice long focus throw, built in hood, 49mm filter thread and great (but not fast) optics. A couple more from yesterday... 8)
