Orange Tip Progress V (Image Heavy).
Checked on the pupa last evening & saw it had changed position, with its head held back, away from off the twig. Looked again later on & it had started to fidget/wriggle, all within the bounds of its silken "girdle". Then within an hour, it had completely changed its external appearance, the met...

My photo from 2011 in use by Virgin Holidays
Seeing another post on the joys of the 16-45 reminded me of this photo taken with this on a K20D. Back in 2011 we took a trip to Morocco and did a camel ride. As luck would have it I got a perfect position in the camel train, and managed to get this shot while riding a camel for the first time. It h...

Back in the Day
I've been scanning loads of old images, all shot by me in what my 8-year-old grandson described as "the olden days" or more commonly known as the 1980s. Ouch indeed. This one is doing very well on EPZ and was shot by me between 1975 and 1980 using a Pentax SP 1000 and probably the standard 55mm f/2 ...

That first one has character John. 1980's are olden days....oh gosh, no hope for me then.

You can just imaging Gene Hunt in his Ford Cortina GXL speeding by in these images..

Just magic! Especially the first image.

The first one just oozes nostalgia. At least your past still exists. Mine was bulldozed and buried beneath an industrial estate!

Trying to get back a manual mode with a KatzEye converted K20 and a Takumar 50mm f1.4

That's nice. What is it??? Pity the background ridges aren't horizontal, but perhaps a straight-on shot wasn't possible. Steve

It's actually interesting because the horizontals don't line up. I like the composition but wonder whether it was possible to raise the camera a little to get a bit more symmetry with the top and bottom bits of the blinds.

Prefer the original myself. Something about the symmetry of the background and the lack of straight lines in the foreground in the second one jars a bit. Nice shot

Prefer the original myself. Agree. The picture needs all its twizzly bits and height rather than width. Steve

Lockdown StarTrails/Timelapse
Hi all... thought I'd post these... I've dabbled in photographing the night sky a fair bit over the last few years, usually using the K1/K1ii astrotracer to keep the stars as steady as possible. I thought I'd take advantage of the clear skies that we've enjoyed through much of Lockdown, and particu...

Superbly well done :D Did you lay the K1 on its back or was it tripod mounted ?

From Sublime To Ridiculous...
Last week, the FA77 ltd (which is widely believed to be sublime) accompanied me on a mission to photograph hawthorn during the daily dog walk. A couple of days later, the Q-S1 + 03 fisheye came with the same objective. The 03 is, of course, a very different lens - less than 1/10th the price of an FA...

Colourful Clematis
Right, let's be picky here. Neither clematis pic fully works for me. In the first, the main flower has a couple of distracting OOF green spikes cutting across it. Also, its lower petals are OOF which makes it a bit unbalanced to my eye since the upper petals are in focus. In the second, the main flo...
