Don't see these over the back garden every day...
Their calls are wonderful, it can carry from very high up and miles away. I love to see and hear them. We saw and heard three yesterday quite low down to start with but in minutes they were pin pricks in the sky. Wonderfull to watch.

Q Daffs
I've held back from commenting until I'd worked out why I like this. And now I know. It's the combination of sharpness in the centre, the slabs (grave stones?) in the distance above and the flowerless space below. They seem to complement each other and draw the eye into the centre. Scroll down to cu...

First Outing With Samyang 135mm F/2
I like that focal length, gives everything a nice flat look. Looks like you've got the hang of it already :wink: Thanks Gareth. I do like the focal length...coupled with max aperture and close focus (80cm) makes for a very versatile product. Only thing it lacks is WR...MF also allows for possibi...

First Outing With Samyang 135mm F/2
I picked up this lens before Christmas, still not used it in any meaningful way. Just like knowing I have it in the collection should there come a time where by its needed; which I think will be in the next few weeks and months as we start to come back into the summer and the return of the Galactic ...

First Outing With Samyang 135mm F/2
Hi Geoff The lens looks to be very sharp, but to my eyes the colours look a bit 'flat' and don't seem to pop? Just wondering what your thoughts are? Regards David I have to agree, I find the rendition of the of the image a little muted in colour, to what I'm seeing with my eye. That being sa...

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars
Not wanting to upset you niklas, so apologies for that. I want to know how you got those Metadata out of my photo. Something is severely wrong. It's not enough just to apologize and leave the comment. You wrongly accused me for using another persons photo. You gotta pull back those accusatio...

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars
Back to the original post... Niklas, that's a very good photo. Well seen and well taken. And with so few aircraft flying at the moment, it must be quite a rarity! :D Steve

Some more Cheap Lens shots on the K-1
Hi All Following up on my theme over the past couple of weeks, here's a few more 'cheap lens' shots on the K-1. These are all with a £12 + postage (total £15) Sigma DL Macro Super 70-300mm, which was described on ebay as 'AF not working'. I think we all know this is a screw-drive lens, so if it...

TESTING : ME Super, Kodak B&W 400 C41 , E6 Bleach-fix, Pentax zoom lens
Having had a bad experience Years Ago on a USA Trip with the Pentax Club where my ME Super snaps were severely UNDER-EXPOSED and I got 'strange readings' of 1/2000 at f 11 for 100 ASA I 'Cleaned' the exposure compensation dial by Rotating it back and forth several times as I was told years ago by a...

Test shots on new KX arrived.

I captured a GSW at this location back on the 5th Dec last year, only got about 10 seconds to compose and shoot and was hoping for another opportunity, I'll just have to go back on another occassion.

Back to the woodland hide yesterday, not much, no GSW again, a Wren showed for 2 minutes plus a few Blue Tits, the vole showed for 30 seconds, but to much low undergrowth for him to hide under. All K1 with the 150 - 450 @ 450mm and f8 - 800 ISO

Fun with the SMC 85mm SOFT f2.8 lens
I finally got around to an experiment I have had in mind using this lens, i.e. selectively combining two apertures for an enhanced effect. Fo those who are not familiar with this lens it is extremely soft (but in focus) at f2.8 and gets progressively less soft as the aperture is closed down, until a...

Fun with the SMC 85mm SOFT f2.8 lens
Yes to the 2nd and 3rd. No to the 1st - I'm not keen on the glowing halo around each flower. The softness is rather special, I can see why you're rather fond of it. :) Steve Thanks Steve, the halo is what happens when using backlight from the sun, it is also possible to control flare for effec...

Cherry Blossom and Berberis
Yep, first one for me has a lovely softness to it. Not just the out of focus areas, but the colours too. My initial impression was it wanted a bit more exposure and/or saturation, but actually I think resisting that temptation adds to the overall 'soft' feel Lovely
