some landscape shots
Thanks guys, was only using f22 to try to slow the shutter speed down for the water movement. I do however think I could do with using wider apperture, what would you recommend Simon? Any advice gratefully received! The pier is at southwold and is a very nice location! I love it down there a...

Official Day 1 - Me and my K5 in London
Well, it felt like a week before I got the time to try my new camera out. Walked from Marble Arch all the way to White City. Passed by Hyde Park, then Holland Park. Here are a few photos from today, "post processed" using the built-in filter effects and nothing more, just batch resized using IrfanVi...

I concur - superb colours. i'm thinking I should get myself a neutral density filter!

I can imagine! Though I read somewhere that people have used welding glass in the past and made their own filters (with the drawback that the end product would be in black and white). I've always been interesting in doing VERY long exposures during the day looking out to the sea so you get a very...

The problem with welding glass is the colour cast you get - having said that - you can probably do a lot pp to adjust it. I use a 10 stop ND filter which works very well - unless pointing at the sun when you look through the view finder it is so dark you can not see anything at all! Prior to b...

thanks bob! these were taken around 3;30-4pm it was very cold! i have a hoya nd400 which is 9 stop i think which works well but its a bit of a learning curve to start with. have heard of people using welding glass but the colour cast problem is mentioned frequently! screwing 2 polarizer filter...

Looks about right for a lovely day out in the Swiss Alps. All of first the ones I took in Austria had blue casts to them. The I bought a super UV filter, much better than sold in the UK at the time and they came out much much better. Is the illumination a hot lamp. This can cause the slide to pop...

Here's the method I used to use for getting prints from a slide, way back. Its a simple metal frame that sits in the filter mount that holds a slide away from the lens. The lens is spaced from thr body with (in this case 20mm) extension tube. It used to sit between the lens and extension tube (M42 ...

I had something similar to that, an old Jessops Slide Duplicator, but I didn't find the results to be all that good so I got rid of it. Basically the idea was the same - it had a Series VII mount and screwed onto the filter ring with a suitable adapter, I think the only difference between what you h...

The Great Vault (Penax-m 85mm f2)
by , on Flickr My son got his first pair of shoes so I thought it was only fitting to shoot him in them, but I wasn’t happy with just going outside I took a 400w/s strobe with me.. and old 85mm f2 and a variable ND filter so I could shoot wide open. Trying to manual focus wide open is a bit o...

Flower of Graptopetalum , or Ghost Plant of Mexico & Topaz
OK I'll bite. The star filter really doesn't do anything for me! The contrast adjustment looks good though.

Some macros from today
Wow - I'm impressed! 8) DOF on No 2 is really good IMHO and the lighting is good. Well done indeed. :D Kind regards Charlotte Thanks Charlotte I did use a smaller aperture this time which helped with the DOF. Usually I'm struggling with the shutter speed so need a bigger aperture, but it wa...

First outing with the 55-300mm :)
I'd try some more photos now having heard a couple of responses, with a tripod and faster shutter speeds. But one thing i found when I got the lens is that it won't focus well, particularly at longer focal lengths, if you have a UV filter on. If you've got one on, take it off.

I've not found that to be an issue but it doesn't hurt to experiment. f5.6 is getting on the slow side so auto focus might strug...

First outing with the 55-300mm :)
Perhaps it depends on the make of UV filter, John, but it definitely happened to me. I took off the filter and all of a sudden the lens started to focus properly. Seems odd, I know. I also recall someone else having a problem with this lens and a circular polariser. There's a thread about that so...

First outing with the 55-300mm :)
Yes I remember it. Can't think how or why a skylight filter could affect focussing. Mine's had a Jessops Skylight 1A from the day I got the lens, it just happened to be the first spare filter that came to hand and fitted. Personally I do wonder if the focussing issue is more to do with how the lens ...

First outing with the 55-300mm :)
The filter I was using was just a UV filter. Dr O will back me up because he was trying to help me when I came up with the brainwave regarding the filter. One day I couldn't get a really sharp image and the next day, having taken the filter off, I could, taking exactly the same shot in the same ligh...
