Down on the beach .. and not a macro shot in sight.
[quote:bacf3e933b="ChrisA"]You also need to clean your sensor!! Waiting for a rocket blower to arrive. I decided to put in a split screen focus from ebay as all of my macro lenses are manual focus and once done realised I had loads of dust in there. After all that I then took it out as it was trul...

Panorama's of SW England...
I love the SR sensors that FujiFilm make. We have an old S20Pro which was and is the only compact tu use a sensor with two photosensors per photosite to get an amazing dynamic range. It has an extra 4 stops of highlight information hidden in the RAW file, you can't possibly blow out the highlights w...

Yet another fly
Yes, I see what you mean about the backdrops .. gets a bit boring after a while although they all seem to land on that railing for some reason. Another on the railing but perhaps a bit of a different angle .. and one completely different this time. Vivitar 100mm F2/8 macro with Tamron 1.4X telea...

Clichés
A few cliché photos from Arizona for you. Only another 1200 or so to process :? I won't bore you with them all I promise! First a few from the Grand Canyon I didn't take the Bigma - but I wish I had, if only to try and get a good picture of the California Condors over the Ca...

trying on lady's slippers again!
Had a chance to go hunting for these Pink Lady's-Slippers again this afternoon, and managed to do it with mosquitos drawing blood. This time, found them on the edge of a cluster of fern (ferns?). C&C on these images, and for those that saw yesterday's post, comparisons? Taken with M 100 4...

55-300 First 'live fire' results
Thanks John, I take your point on the Woodpecker so I had a look through some of my other shots and found this Robin which I think is a better example. To be fair to the Woodpecker it was shot through my kitchen double glazing :) Is there some sensor dirt on the right hand side, above Robin's ...

A few more bees, and other things ...
Pretty much have to agree with Hefty. :roll: And when are you going to clean your sensor?!? :shock: Dan

Farnborough 2008 - 20th July
By the way, I really like of yours, but wondering what all the bits are, looks like you had a really filthy sensor, but guessing the thing had just taken off and it kicked up a load of muck. Looks like an air to air shot.:D Dan EDIT: Hmmmm, just seen you shot that at f/22... how dirty is ...

Cracking shot Clarky, but everyones talking rubbish:shock: your original post needs cropping on the left:wink: your second posting leaves to much space above the subject, plus it looks like youve left a dirty mark from the sensor showing:D PS; how on earth do you get jumping spiders to stay still...

More Photoshop
Well,David. That last one sure takes care of all the dust, sticking to your sensor.:lol::lol::lol: Seriously now,You achieved some nice colors in the last on.It's not really my cup of tea, but it's interesting to see what is possible with PS grads and filter fx. Martin.

Just a little showcase
Hmm do you think so or is digital a less forgiving technology and things tend to be sharp or not rather more quickly? I'm not sure I've understood this question right, but if you mean: "Is the actual subject range, with digital, over which the circle of confusion is a given size or smaller, sma...

Thought I would have a go at a Moon shot.
The moon moves surprisingly fast. A 400mm lens on a Pentax dSLR is . The moon moves at about 360/(24x60x60) = 0.0042 degrees per second, which as a fraction of the frame is therefore: 0.0042 / 3.44 On the K10D, the frame is 3872 pixels wide, so the moon moves at (0.0042/3.44) x 3872 =...

Thought I would have a go at a Moon shot.
Thanks for your comments Chris. Can a Bigma be handheld? I don't know (I don't have one), but I wouldn't bother trying to, for the moon. Without a telescope you're right out at the limitations of the lens and sensor resolution, so the slightest lack of sharpness just ruins it. The focus has to be ...

HDR ?
Why do my attempts at HDR not look HDR ..ish. Well it does a bit. Either that or you've used nicely-balanced fill-in flash with a guide number of about 100,000. But I prefer the restrained look too. I occasionally like impressionism, but in small doses, and in a kind of "hmm", sort of way. ...

Apart from dust on the sensor it looks ok to me - nice pic.

HDR ?
Apart from dust on the sensor it looks ok to me - nice pic. mmm, I cleaned the sensor after zooming in to look at the "ufo", which is actually 2 airplanes if you look closely where there was a difference in the time it took to bracket the 3 shots.

HDR ?
Are you bracketing shutter speed or aperture? PS... I'm curious as to why some of the sensor spots look like they have ghosts down and to the right a little. Me too, but the way the 'ghosts' are bigger, would indicate a larger aperture, so f/8 and f/6.7 or something like that. The sky looks ...
