6x7 Boathouses
The 55-100 is a beautiful zoom, and perfect for landscape. It is very sharp and has aperture settings from f4.5 to f32. I bought mine mainly because I admired Ian Cameron's work, and I know that he uses this zoom for most of his photography. The only drawback is that it has a 95mm filter ring and th...

So This is What All the Fuss is About
Thanks for the interest everyone and the advice Mike and Philip. I'll order the battery as the capacity seems to be an issue. I'd like to do without a lens cap but there's no way to fit a filter and that lovely lens looks awfully vulnerable.

A few from this weekends photoshoot
I think the customers will be happy. I would suggest though that using something between orange and red in the filter spectrum when making mono pics tends to be kinder to skin imperfections and improves contrast, in my view. Well done.

That's good advice. The last time I was unwise enough to take any portraits, the Lightness channel...

A Great Day at Bempton
Fantastic birds David, and glad you had a good time. The pick of these is #2 in my mind. Nice piece of action with the landing gear down. Handled the whites very well. Like #7 too. #3 is perfectly timed but there is no feather detail, blown whites? I wouldn't have posted #5 as you have. It doe...

Getting Closer
A reversed 28mm will get amazingly close. You could also try the 28mm reversed onto the front of a modest telephoto lens, say 100mm to 135mm. Adapters are made to the two filter threads can be joined.

Getting Closer
Good job! I particularly like the pastel shades of #1. Phil Very nice macros! Well done. Bjørn Nice shots, Nigel - lovely flowers, good focus, detail, and colours. Perhaps consider cropping closer to the main flower in #1 to remove those two bits at the top. There are some obvious shiny speckle...

Pyrenees
I really like the first of the two mono images with the lovely sky. Great conversion of the image with a real "orange filter" feel about it. K.

The Hoppings.
Thanks David - much appreciated. Think its the first time I've used the filter since the month I bought it :oops:

A few recent shots
Thanks for the comments guys. I've always been happy with the Sigma 10-20 although it can be a little soft around the edges of the frame. I think this is an issue with most wide angle lenses tho! I think the K3 images may look slightly different due to the lack of AA filter & high sensor resol...

Flower
Thats a lovely flower, and a very nice composition and pleasing colour. Its not looking critically sharp I have to say ... would that be because of the 'converter' - (is that a glass filter type?) -I have been looking into this lately and some advice suggests that 'close-up filters' can degrade IQ a...

Thanks for feedback guys. Went out for poppies. Didn't get much as they've mostly gone to seed. Just happened to have a look down the beach, and the quayside on the way home. Pleased I did :wink: Hi Nigel In Lightroom Crop. To get the separation from the structure on the other bank, I had t...

Seeing in Black and White?
I seem to recall some of the old timers (when I was a lad in the sixties) using a tinted glass filter (think it was dark green) to view what they wanted to photograph. The idea was that it removed the colour components to give an idea of the contrast, light balance etc. when mono film was used. I...

Seeing in Black and White?
One viewing filter I had was very dark purple. Not really a lot of use it was very dark but it was supposed to match panchromatic film. --

First ones for a while
Have you tried various digital B&W filters to the foreground to see how they impact. e.g. compare the effect of a red filter v a green filter

Much prefer the colour David. I think a green filter would separate the grass from the rocks on the B&W

Yes Alan, those sticks are bloody annoying aren't they? That's easily within my capability to remove it, I did notice it but didn't bother removing just for uploading here, I wanted to know thoughts on the general image first. Personally, I like the dark foreground as I wanted to lend the shot a...

David, you have given the image the title "Ullswater Light" so, presumably that indicates your intention. For me it is not actually working, because some of the water in the middle of the shot is a bit lost among the background tones, and the untidy foreground distracts from the wonderful light from...

first image ever shared
i like it but i think how and what it gets printed on will determine more whether it ends up looking like a photograph or a painting. i would print on watercolour paper with a dry brush filter overlay or on canvas to use as smudge says, a piece of art. after all no reason the camera cannot be used ...
