July with the A*135/1.8
The photographs do show the character of the lens with the smooth out of focus areas. The first one is a great example of three dimensionality that it is capable of. The lens is one I'd be looking to buy if my numbers 'come up' this weekend but, your copy excepted, I've never seen one for sale. I...

July with the A*135/1.8
I like the first one very much. DoF is very effective and the focus of the image is all on the daisies, while the flower heads stand out clearly and effectively against the darker background shade. I find the background in 2 too strong and fussy - my eye is drawn away from the focus point by its d...

Rochefort
Hello all, We spend some time every year in Rochefort (north of Bordeaux, close to La Rochelle), I for a few days off, my wife for three weeks' water cure. The city has a particular feel to it, as it used to be one of France's main military arsenals; it was also the setting for Jacques Demy's film...

Rochefort
Thanks again, Gareth. And thank you for the metaphors, Bill - There is indeed always more to be seen than that which we view. And I'm definitely on board with Minor White, ever since you brought his work to my attention a little while back.

Soft Ethereal Wild Flower Photography - Shooting Really Local.
On the back of last month photography and video in the woods of Worcestershire I thought this months video I'd try photographing some Wild Flowers located in the margins around my local parkland only a minute away from my home. Photographing WILD FLOWERS https://youtu.be/-ivTTEtR90g Here I p...

Cometography
I remember impressed seeing Hale Bopp back in the day on looking rather impressive over the Alps. This one seems not quite as visible, but just as photogenic. I had a number of (obvious) locations in mind, all involving the idea of the passage of time and with minmal artificial light. I wanted t...

Revival. Pentax K1, D FA 24-70mm. Formatt Hitech Firecrest C-PL, Firecrest Pro 4 stop and Firecrest Pro 3 stop ND grad. This image is called Revival as I sort of lost my mojo and haven't picked up the camera in over a month. Had to force myself to get out and even though it was a quick half h...

A Dull, Wet Day, but...
Lovely set! Not sure what that is is 2 apart from the stuff of nightmares. 3&4 are my favourites. Our crocosmia is in full bloom now, a flash of red at the back of the garden. It didn't flower at all last year, but seems to be making up for it this year. The sun is shining today, but it is too ...

Dreamy results from a Helios 44 M7
I think the shallow DoF is due to the sheer length of the tubes being used. It's one long tube that slides out from a similarly long tube, doubling its length. I was using the sliding bit to focus it. I think they were originally intended to go on a celestial telescope.

Dreamy results from a Helios 44 M7
I'll take some photos of it. It is two tubes about 3.5inches long, one inside the other, with a T2 fitting on the camera end and a female thread of about 34mm at the other, which is useless. I tried some step ups but it's between 34 and 35mm and none would fit so I couldn't get a lens onto it. I b...

Dreamy results from a Helios 44 M7
It is two tubes about 3.5inches long, one inside the other... Oh my, that's the kind of job I am definitely no good at at all :lol: (mind you, I did completely dismantle, repair and put back together an M28 f3.5 - quite a harrowing experience for me!). What a fabulous set of skills to have - and th...

British GT & Support @ Oulton Park
I went to the British GT for the qualifying last weekend (should have been at Donington for British Touring Cars but that was run behind closed doors at the last minute) It was a strange day with no access to the paddock and understandable restrictions due to Covid but it was good to be back. ...

British GT & Support @ Oulton Park
Nice set George. I was at Donington, but despite the lack of spectators I wasn't allowed out of the paddock/pits area & wasn't allowed to wander into other parts of the paddock... The view from my pit garage was very limited, and there wasn't even anywhere I could get a coffee! :( Probably wou...

Have you got the dragonfly at Hatton Locks and the bird of prey in Canley Ford (off the A45, Coventry). Both large metal sculptures. It's one heck of a task and one you appear to be enjoying. Super pictures. Thanks David, I missed the dragonfly so I will do it shortly. There are sites I get directed...

Historic F1 & support @ Donington Park
I went to this event a few weeks back, first time I used the Sigma 300 F2.8 at an event. Various restrictions meant there was no access to the paddock where I would normally take quite a lot of shots from at theses events. Some pics 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ...

Nice ones Peter! Lovely contrast on the film I think. Not one I've used before Thanks for sharing It was one of my favourites but it was axed by Kodak a few years back. I have a few rolls left but soon I'll be down to the keeper roll which will go next to my Kodachrome 64 and my Fuji Neopan 1...

Some "marmite" processing amongst some IR

Have found a few things that have worked with the Polaroid transfer and also the Solarise John, just a matter of trying each version of each preset ,play with the sliders to find if any work . The Cemetery/churchyard al...
