Frosted Feather
Messing about with pixel shift after seeing the recent discussions on the forum, I actually missed the focus on the feather (I got the background mud) but was quite pleased with the result.... or maybe you prefer the mono conversion... :)

Dynamic Pixel Shift - a simple comparison
A very quick and dirty comparison of the K1 MkII implementation of Dynamic Pixel Shift against normal shooting - both images are handheld and shot with exactly the same settings (1/50 @ f4.0 ISO3200) and the post processing in LightRoom uses exactly the same values (Highlights/Shadows etc.). Th...

Dynamic Pixel Shift - a simple comparison
Mike - your question on file size - the one with Dynamic Pixel Shift is 18,214Kb and without is 16,663KB, I've just uploaded the full size images to Flickr in case you want to pixel peep ;) With: https://www.flickr.com/photos/62460860@N05/50825942161/in/dateposted/ Without: https://www.flickr.c...

Dynamic Pixel Shift - a simple comparison
Too close to call, and the slight differences I see might be due to variations in composition, camera shake, shake reduction movement, focus etc, or it might be that the movement which is detected causes the processor to discard parts of the raw files which are not aligned, effectively eliminating t...

Dynamic Pixel Shift - a simple comparison
Here's another test from this afternoon - PP has zero sharpening and only highlights and shadows expanded to show fullest range, all settings the same - focus is on the centre of the hands of the pocket watch in the first pair and on the Queen Victoria stamp in the second pair (click for the bigger ...

Dynamic Pixel Shift - a simple comparison
Is it just me or do the colours seem slightly richer with DPS on? I have pixel-peeped these to death and can see very little fine detail differences (and some that I can see may well be due to slight position/focus changes) but I still think that the overall "look" has the edge with the DPS shots an...

On the banks of the Charente
A few from this past summer - on the shuttle boat from Rochefort to the isle of Aix. Not that I don't appreciate all those beautiful frosty, snowy pictures that have been cropping up here, but I do need a reminder that we are on track - spring and summer will be back! :D 1 2 3 ...

Fog and snow
I see what Gareth is getting at but further away the runners would be much less significant whereas as you have caught it they form the focus of the picture - visualise it without them and you see what I mean.

There needs to be something to catch the eye between the LH tree and the clump on the...

The wedding ring.
It was about 6 or 7 feet away from the camera too. I threw my keys across the floor and found I had to back away from them. It's an amazing result on a big screen. As to 'flippy screen', this was a K1, which has such a marvel. The new thing apparently won't have one. You can't put a ref converter on...

The wedding ring.
Great idea Aitch! I've tried the Chinese 'Seagull' one with the multiple adapters - it's awful. I've been looking for a Pentax 'A' one for years and not found one yet. There are dozens of K versions. The M version is slightly too narrow but can be filed back - that's what I currently use when necess...

Nice focus, and title corrected.

A walk in the Wessenden Valley
Beautiful, slightly jealous of the snow. Last good snow for me was January 1962 in Norfolk. Couldn't get out of the village to get back to my ship, even tractors couldn't make it. My Father rang the OOD who's advice was "Get him to ring Eskimo Nell". Only one thing to do, we retired to the pub. Hap...

Another fog/ice picture
Hi womble ,I like the relationship between the two (similarity) and the exposure and focus on the cow parsley is spot on to my eyes. I still like it and maybe a revisit could possibly bring even greater reward. Well spotted. Maybe a pair of scissors might come in handy for perfect composition.

Another fog/ice picture
We can all do with better composition from time to time, but that's what going back to the scene is for - to follow up on a great idea!

Morning Walk
Thank you all for the kind comments - it was a perfect morning for a walk and as Nigel says exercise for the mind too - I felt so positive when I got back :D I can cope with my Wife working while I'm snapping Steve - I'm good like that :wink: David - I wouldn't book a week in Malvern, there ...

My first kingfisher
Well not the first time I have seen one but the first time I have managed some photos. After hearing that one was to be spotted by the bridge in the centre of the village I set off as soon as it was light and was rewarded by this chap obligingly sitting nearby. The ISO is eye-wateringly high at 20,0...

My first kingfisher
Well he/she was back again this morning in better light when I arrived at around 8.50 and stayed for half an hour so, and I had the luxury of trying different exposure settings. Slightly further away this time so a bit more of a crop but able to use lower ISOs. When the sun came out the feathers cha...

My first kingfisher
Lovely looking bird and that ISO! File cleaned up real nice. Do you use LR for the noise reduction or something else as I can't get my high ISO files to look anywhere near as good as that! Thanks Gareth, I was as surprised as you. I have found that exposing as far to the right as possible raises the...
