More lockdown fun with an *stD and an FA*300
Whoops. I missed an i out of *Ist. I thought I would see how the *istD performed with a really big lens. It is quite a lightweight camera so I put some batteries in the grip and stuck that on too as ballast. It made a really handy, well balanced combination. The sun was bright so I left t...

More lockdown fun with an *stD and an FA*300
Great shots, all are very impressive. The lens is obviously well suited to the istD. For the last 2 weekly competitions I have reworked photos taken with the istD and have been quite surprised at the quality you can get from it. Having seen what you've achieved I'm now going to have to get mine back...

Also Evening sky from testerd...

A couple of walks having a play with stuff
thanks for looking and comments. the plus side to IR is that you can shoot in the full mid day sun in fact it's what you need :):) but i agree it is a love/hate thing, a bit like HDR which is another thing i need to get back into:lol::lol:

Asahi Pentax SV with 35mm f2 Super-Takumar
I took out my lovely Asahi Pentax SV that I had not used for a long while with the Huge 35mm f2 Super-Takumar and outdated Fuji Superia 100 that had been to the Philippines and back and X - Rayed many times! Here I used f5.6 for this 'wall Art' on the Spread Eagle Pub here in Brentwood advertisin...

Woodland Wander
Very nice. I like the blossom. Lovely backdrop, lovely light, spot-on focus and depth of field. I haven't been able to get a decent blossom shot yet as it's been so windy whenever I've been out.

A Floral Walk
as i said David i put it on to enable me to use Catch in Focus as there was quite a strong breeze blowing stuff around. I thought switching the lens into MF mode with camera in AF would have done it but that didn't work as it does with an actual MF lens.

Carnival of the Grotesques
Hi all... there's a log in our local park that our kids play on. A couple of years ago, I happened to take a closer look at it, and was very surprised to see all sorts of dark and murky worlds in miniature. I posted the first set of shots here a while back. Over the last 2 years I decided to do a ...

Thanks Stu, Gary, John R, Peter, Michael, John L, Rick, John S, David, Don, Rob, and Barrie... very good of you and much appreciated as ever... Stu, thanks for your thoughts... yes, would love to get my hands on a DFA 50 1.4 myself! This was actually the old FA 50mm 1.4, which I've had for years,...

Carnival of the Grotesques
A fascinating peek into the grotesque, and a hidden miniature landscape. Some have the feel like that painting The Scream. Generally I find the ones on a flatter plane work best.... I have noticed myself when trying close ups of bits of logs that out of focus areas and shallow DOF effects don't s...

Out of the woods (1)
Thanks, all, for your comments. Peter, I couldn’t agree more. Life without nearby countryside or a garden would be so much more difficult. Philip, there was something about these two trees that caught my eye - I think it was the intricate detail of all the not-quite-bare branches and twigs a...

Out of the woods (2)
Its no. 10 for me, the lambs giving foreground interest, the water in the middle distance and then I like the way the hills layer away into the far distance. Brings back memories of walks I have done in the area. Paul

As you may have noticed, I'm still around, not gone awol to another brand (well, apart from Huawei, but that doesn't count surely!) and I've enjoyed catching up on some of the recent members photo postings, thanks. I've not yet got back to using the K7, but I hope it will come one day again. I'm ...

Welcome back again, Nigel. Let's hope this is the first of many new threads and images from you. I see what you mean about it needing a black surround. Nevertheless it still seems rather too dark to me, and the JPEG histogram seems to show that you have a fair amount of leeway before anything w...

Nige...!! Brilliant to see you back...Ii Thought you and me were the very last of the K7 owners. Using mine again this week. As both my K1's have developed faults... I wont comment on your image. It's not really my cup of tea.. Thought we were "portrait" men....lol But It brings up an in...

Coulsdon Common Woods
For everyday family shots out and about, with fairly even lighting, then the phone is good enough. I still edit the shots to control contrasts and bring out faces for example, and for that Google Photos or Snapseed are very good. Indoors the phone struggles more, where often bright light from outsi...

Welcome back, Nigel. Good to hear from you again. I agree that your woodland shot looks better with a black surround - but it's still very dark! I flirted with using my mobile phone as my "walkabout" camera and trying to do more serious things with it, but came to much the same conclusions as you...
