In his face
That's very nice! I like the contrast balancing and the background can still fulfil it's 'purpose' at a lower brightness level. The fill on the statute evens out the contrast on the face beautifully... Sure, maybe a diffuser would reduce reflections more .. But in any case, great job! You see for me...

In his face
The problem I see Stephen, it's that you are viewing this as an ' environmental portrait' , ie with a strong emphasis on the connection of the subject to the environment. But, this is not how the photographer has crafted the photo ... An environmental portrait demands a much smaller aperture an...

Tidal river footbridge
Hi Don, that's quite a long exposure. Was it late in the day or night when you took these ? If it was it might be worth going to f13 or f16 and use no filter, as there are no obvious moving points (river I know) a shorter exp time might do. (30 secs) might be worth a try ? Derek

Northern Lights 17. March
This was taken near where I live Are you ready for the eclipse on Friday? Good photo in your link from the Netherlands! It is quite unique that the Northern Lights can be seen this far south. I am ready for the eclipse, except that I have no proper filter (Baader filter i.e.) to put on my ...

Visitor to the garden this morning.
A Green Woodpecker visits our garden quite regularly but they are very timid and I rarely have the camera ready. This morning he was foraging in the garden and I had time to get the camera out and the Sigma 150-500 on the camera but the addition of a double glazing filter was unavoidable! ...

That old sunset problem - RAW challenge
Here is a very quick attempt using the image posted above; ie not the full size one. Tweaked in ACDsee Pro7 using its 'lighting' tool applied to the foreground, a slight reign in on the highlight tool and then a small decrease of vibrancy. A mask on the sky to enhance contrast might help a bit...

12 ICMs - Landscapes
I wonder if there's a software 'ICM' filter effect that I could use to do something similar? You know, the sort of one click thoughtless, unskilled, non-artistic approach that only a hobbyist would do because he can never know any better? Would these images, if produced in that way , provoke the sam...

Few B&W shots with my LX.

The K1000 gallery
In 2013 I was able to find an early K1000, one of those made in 1976-79 with the serial number on the top plate, the writing "Asahi Company, Japan" that were sold with the SMC Pentax K 55 mm f2.0 ( the old Takumar 55mm f2.0 of the SP500 and SP1000 repackaged in K mount), it has become one of my favo...

Recent Film Shots with the gorgeous M 30mm 2.8
After waiting for an age for one of these rare lenses to come up on the bay, one of them finally surfaced last fortnight. £145 for an absolute minter optically but with a tiny ding on the filter thread. These are a selection of some of the shots that that came out of a couple of rolls. The colour...

Pageant of Power, Cholmondeley 2015
Thanks Simon. As I thought about it, some other things came to mind. On Sunday I removed the polarising filter from my 18-200 walkaround lens, so maybe that helps either because it was a cheap filter or just because it lets a little more light through. I'll have to have a look but without the same s...

A few from my local beachline
Thank you all! It's just up the road from me. I wanted to revisit it after my last failed attempt with a variable ND filter left a dark cross across the frame. I like the stairs to hell! Or maybe they're the stairs from heaven back down to earth?!

A few canal shots
Thank you for your comments, Don, Andrew and Karlo. It is a good lens - it looks and feels great to use, with high quality in its construction and performance. I often enjoy a stroll and photography along the canal; and I agree with Andrew - I enjoy all the interesting things and scenes around ther...

Poppies with a Pentax M 150mm, extension tube and ringflash
That papery texture is really nice. Here's another macro trick: Take the glass out of an A 50 f1.7 and put it on the camera. next screw a reverse adapter into its filter thread. Now reverse an old AF 35-80mm onto it (the silver plasticky things). Open its aperture wide because the A 1.7 will aut...

Pentax K24 mm f2.8 and the Leamington peace festival.
I found one of these rare lenses on ebay and I got it for cheap, it has been used and a little abused but still it's a good performer, I found it helpful when I tried to shoot the crowd in front of the gig using as much DOF as possible. Unfortunately I didn't have a yellow filter so the sky is wa...

Ten More Infra Reds
Love IR and after my IR converted K20d calved on me at the weekend, these have me pining to spend money to get back in the saddle so to speak. Who are the pentax IR conversion go to guys nowadays? I'd consider getting my K5 converted .... that's if its a good 'donor' body for the conversion? My ...
