Macro with a FA 80-320mm F5/6
I bought a Sigma achromatic macro lens (filter) on Ebay the other day (58mm) for an idea I had which I then binned. It arrived today and I realised it fitted on the 80-320mm so attached it and took a couple of shots. First is uncropped, second is 100% crop .. not too shabby really. :)

Underwater Macro
Does anyone have any suggestions for photographing small tropical fish in a tank ? The main issues are lack of light and obtaining focus. The one below is Iso 400, 1/125sec and f 2.8 using a Sigma macro. It was taken through glass (without a polarising filter). The water in the tank is q...

What you can do with a piece of 1/8 inch welders glass
Well done, was it only a partial eclipse :?: From the UK, yes. I didn't get any more like this after I removed the UV filter that was sitting between the welders glass and the lens: However, look closely at the ghost at top left. It was present on all the shots, even after removing the i...

What you can do with a piece of 1/8 inch welders glass
What causes that ghosting :?: and what time of day was it :?: 10.15 am or thereabouts for the maximum. I imagine the bright ghost to the left of the sun is a reflection off the filter, on to the welders glass nearest edge (and then into the lens). The less bright one to the left of that I'd gu...

Haddon Hall Chapel HDR
How are you setting up you shots John? I use x5 exposures on AV mode at f/11 and then again at f16 shot in RAW. (Shoot at ISO 100 and again at ISO 200) Above 200 introduces to much noise). The import into Photomatix, If you have used a tripod all the shots should be aligned no need to have th...

The moon - DA* 300mm v DA* 300m + SMCP-F 1.7 AF T/C Test
My efforts with the original RAW files from Mannesty's pictures: Without the TC: With the TC: In each case, duplicated the layer, high pass filter, overlay; merge layers, then USM at 75/1/1. The one with the TC was reduced to (almost) the same size as the one without, first. I...

Macros with Ring Flash
I'm a little surprised you can use it on the 180 without any vignetting, I haven't tried my AF-080C flash on my 180. The AF140C is 58mm, the same diameter as the front element of the Sigma EX 180mm Macro. Even though the 180mm has a 77mm filter thread, the glass is still only 58mm, hence no (or very...

Snowdonia in mono - Sigma 10-20
:shock: Now, you are probaly going to :D here, but IMHO this image does not scream mono to me, you have picked a hard task with this image that has too many similar tones, the tonal range is not wide enough to make it an interesting image. IMHO I prefer it color:D. However, I had to have a go di...

Shots From Cadiz
Nice shot's and i agree with George regarding the sharpening.Number 7 though i think has been taken even further and seems to have had a pencil/crayon drawing type filter added. I actually quite like it.

Horizon detail
Dear All, Below is a picture from my recent holiday in Greece of Ancient Kassope, with (from left to right) the Amvrakikos Gulf, Preveza and Lefkada in the background. It was taken with the K10D and the DA18-55 @20mm, f9, 1/40. I find myself taking quite a lot of these wide angle panoramas, but a...

Cokin ND grads...
Very nice results overall :) Yes, the Cokin P do have quite a magenta cast. This is particularly evident if you stack 2 or more filters together. Every P size filter I have used has this colour cast (not just Cokin). The Cokin Z-Pro filters have a lot less magenta tinge to them - probably 1/2 ...

Cokin ND grads...
The HiTech P-size ones I have are almost identical to the Cokin ones. Yes, the Lee are said to be better... except I've heard they have more of a problem with blue skies (where the Cokin Z-Pro/X-Pro apparently outperform them). But the Lees (if you can afford them) are better at producing a moody i...

Snowy Tryfan in B&W
I don't know much about BW, So I would be interested to know how to tweak this image too as a lot of mine look similar to this. I think in my case I can't bare to loose detail so they come out a little grey. It is my guess that this needs the contrast increased, even clipping the snow a little, a...

Sky Photo
essentially, the histogram shows you how much image data is contained in each 'level' of grey. If the majority of the graph is over to the left with nothing on the right then your image is underexposed. This is considered the safe option but leads to featureless shadows and a noisy image, especiall...

A bit of North Wales heritage
Hmm...now I'm more curious than ever :? I live by the sea so I have a good idea of the colours it can be and my monitor usually displays the images here 'properly' in as much as they look natural. Sometimes, images look over sharpened on this screen and I mostly put that down to being an LCD. The ...

My first spider macro
What do you think? Taken with the Sigma 18-200 with a +3 closeup filter. It cropped to about 50%. He/she is very persistent, built a web halfway across the garden!

Ullswater
I can't remeber too well But roughly, I used the hue/saturation adjustment in photoshop (set to cyan) to change the hue and saturation of the sky to a more pleasing blue, and masked off anything it changed I applied a orangey yellow photo filter to warm it up a bit I increased the saturation o...
