Old Glass Rules! ..... the phenomenal Jupiter 21M (Image heavy).
This f4, 200mm Soviet lens was made by an obscure factory (Vologda) in the 1990s and is therefore 'modern' in terms of Soviet lenses. They ruined it by sticking a huge flat plate just inside the mount to cover the auto pin mechanism. This splattered light everywhere and wrecked the contrast. Very...

The Steel Works
Excellent stuff. I like the way the focus is closer to the front so the steelworks are just slightly OOF. Works really well.

Down to the Wire
Well spotted Chris - the square format is a good choice and the focus and detail is appealing, but IMO the background detracts too much - I think that if it could have been simpler (i.e. grass only - as in the bottom portion) it would have help draw the eye to the detail - I don't like to criti...

Llantwit Beach

Shoots well as sunset also at low tide so I'll be heading back soon 8) 1,7,8 and nine for me. 7 just shades 6 because of the dot on the horizon Yes! I forgot to remove it in the one image and did in the other! It's the inlet/outlet for t...

The DA*300 Does Landscape
Sleet and snow late yesterday with more snow overnight that promptly froze. Periods of sunlight today reflecting off the snow highlighted the topography of the hills in a pleasing manner. Feeling wimpish in the cold weather I decided that rather than walking the hills I would photograph them fro...

The DA*300 Does Landscape
David, Steve, John, Barrie: thank you all for the comments. The product of plenty of food and little exercise during the last few days forced me to head out today. The ground was very icy, with the trails across the moor having been well trodden on by many other feet enjoying the sunshine. Stil...

The Last Seascape Sunset of 2020 - New Years Eve
Thanks both 8) When I edited these I had no blown highlights according to LR in the develop module. A comment on a different forum mentioned blown highlights so I went back into LR to recheck. Now back in LR I see the red warnings are there for blown highlights but weirdly they were not there fir...

Life is not always easy
agree davidwozhere, i have struggled with similar images i have taken in the past. i was to busy with camera settings and light ,composition etc but the stark reality hits home when you get the prints back from the photo lab ( my film days when i was young and foolish ) .Personally i see these imag...

Life is not always easy
All comments very valid and are appreciated. Paris, Essex, North East etc. it is a common sight just about everywhere these days. I took thirty plus similar images in New York and probably a lot more in well off Middle East countries, the difference there is that the police move such people on as it...

Evaporated Crystals of Thiourea....
Thiourea - I used to know the chemical formulae for things like that :shock:. Brings back memories... Interesting picture. Nicely composed. How small are those threads of crystal? Steve

Evaporated Crystals of Thiourea....
Thanks Lubbyman. Mrs.C.'s only reply to your query was, "to which family silver do you refer.....?!" And thanks Gareth, too! The developed technique with regards to the rather thin (:shock:) DOF is to find the optimum point of focus (L/V screen ) Then go with 10 shots either side for the stack,...

Billbergia
These plants always take us by surprise. We don't notice the flowers coming, suddenly they are flaunting themselves, a few days later they are past their best. This time, the camera was ready. It makes a change from the greyness of the great outdoors at the moment. K3 + DA 35mm macro. Focus stack...

Why do you need a Trioplan?
Being locked up for so long I needed a new diversion so I bought a really beaten up Meyer Optik Primotar 1:3.5, 135mm. I tend to think that if something is that beaten up it must have seen a lot of use - and therefore it is likely to be a good 'un. So far, I haven't been disappointed. The glass is...

Garden Ice Thursday Morning
These are beautifully processed - a good balance of detail and contrast with nice sharpness, they almost look like microscope images of some sort of organism :P That lens is very under-rated and can often be found at low prices - I think it went out of favour with many because of the "one-touch" ...

A cold spell
A nice set. Number 4 is my favourite. Is the colour in 2 natural or a sepia tone added? Thanks psburnley, I had the camera colour temperature set to "cloudy" rather than the usual "auto" which gives it that warm colour although I switched back to "auto" for the rest. To counter that a bit in Light...

Wonderfully evocative set indeed Rob. I hate cold with a vengeance, but coming back with results such as these could warm me up...

Challenging myself
We have had snow and ice here in Lancashire for a couple of weeks but we have managed our daily walks. I noticed the moss on the stone walls have been poking their fruiting bodies through the ice. Photos over several days taken with either 35 or 105 macro lenses on a KP. Hand held, manual focus, ...

Challenging myself
Thanks for comments which I shall take as compliments. Gareth, you raise an interesting suggestion. Obviously the pictures were originally 3:2 and I played around a lot when cropping. I do find 4:3 a relaxing ratio (and being an ex Olympus user). I did try and give a bit of space around the fram...
