RIP Brent Alpha
I'm with you on this. I was working for Bristow Helicopters at the time flying the S61N as a fairly new co-pilot. We were tasked with flying out to the Beryl, for a crew change. I asked one of my co-pilot colleagues, a somewhat laconic individual who had flown to the rig a couple of days previous...

RIP Brent Alpha
Bravo Juliet - yep. When I left Bristows I went to work with Helikopter Services AS for six months and flew regularly to Frigg and Statfjord. After that contract went to BA Helicopters and completed my command course with them, hence me crewing Bravo Juliet. In the background I can see the Bo...

Hartsop round
One more day in the Lake District, this time a big loop starting and ending at Hartsop. All comments welcome, as usual. K70 + DA 16-85mm. 1 A gentle start ... 2 ... until you hit the end of the valley. 3 The reward for the climb - in one direction, Ullswater ... 4 ... and in the...

One day in one garden
Not a National Trust property or RHS garden, just a few shots from my back garden throughout the day.... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Starting to get a bit of inspiration back at last :roll:

buddleia butterfly bush - Pentax 55-300 PLM lens.
The Sigma 50-500mm is excellent for butterflies, it has really good close focus ability.

Sankyo Kohki 200mm fixed with a big hammer and a bit of hardwood!
As you know, I love old glass. Often, if a lens appears beaten up it's because it is a good one and has been heavily used. So when I saw a cheap Sankyo Kohki Komura f4.5 200mm with a bashed in filter thread (and a wonderful 18 blade preset aperture) I grabbed it. Turned out to be an awful thing so i...

Sun rising over Portland
When we got to Portland ( having persuaded my partner an early , early start was a good idea) there was a twenty minute tense "will it or won't happen "because of the cloud, however if you are close to Portland it's got to be worth a try . After sun rise it was back in the car and over to the Lulwor...

Like these a lot.. Lovely soft focus. Are you achieving that in camera ? Or with post processing ?

A few more from Brooklands race track.
Just watched the Big Bentley, No. 41, come off the track, killing the driver. Incredible. The music, almost jolly. I think it was Jackie Stewart who led the charge on driver safety, not before time either. Thanks again for the images, not only good, but hark back to a time that seems 'so l...

LBA
Maybe I do not need to consider buying more lenses?????? Wrong conclusion. Since having the Sigma has let you get this picture, just think what acquiring another lens (or three) would enable you to do (particularly if it wasn't back-breakingly heavy)... :twisted::mrgreen: Steve

Fomapan 400, Pentax P30T, Pentax-M 28mm or 75-150mm
Love no.4, what a great eye for a shot that shows Sure, the dog's not in focus, but who cares!

Two from a Nature Reserve walk
Struggling to "see" good images recently so hoped a trip to a nearby nature reserve (Knapp and Papermill) would inspire me, but only managed a handful of shots none of them up to much. Managed to miss the shot of a huge Bird of Prey that flew towards us along the river bank in the canopy and the lit...

Llangrannog on film
These brought back some great memories for me. I was at St David's University College, Lampeter in the early 70s and used to visit Llangrannog regularly. Thanks for posting.

Flash In The Garden
Well done Serge, with the images. But I think your already starting to answer your own questions. Ring flash will illuminate your subject matter. But always give you a flat ish, light. Even when on a bracket. It will struggle to provide enough power outdoors to light your subject. Especially if som...

Oulton Park Gold Cup 2021
Thanks. Biggest change here was that previously I'd switched the focus mode to single point. I've heard people suggesting that Pentax AF is not the quickest to run, so I figured I'd be giving it a bit less work to do. But on chatting with this chap, he suggested going back to the multipoint mode, an...

Approaching The Surface Of...
Interesting approach and set up, I'd like to have seen a bit more of the pear surface in focus as it looks like it would make a great abstract style shot. I find the OOF area a bit distracting as there's only a sliver in focus.
