Llantwit Beach
Cheeky hour to myself earlier to popped to Llantwit beach for a quick little jaunt out. Tide was incoming and the nicer compositions on the east side of the beach were under water so worked the other side instead. Not the best of weather so opted for long exposures with an emphasis with mono convers...

Christmas Lights with Condensation
There is clearly a marketing opportunity for a "fogged up" filter. Personally, I think the 1st one is a cracker! ...... And you would probably have won the winter solstice monthly contest with it.

Dynamic Pixel Shift - a simple comparison
Hi LennyBloke and and Mike_P my tuppence worth , there is definitely a difference which is evident in the Gold sweet both left and right of the centre red sweet. they both contain more detail (to my ageing eyes) i put on my best focals and studied both images . also took my first pixel images today...

Another old relic - Tamron Twin Tele
If you don't know this ancient lens it is worth looking it up. It was Tamron's first attempt at a detachable SLR lens in 1959 and comprised a 135mm base lens to which you can add a converter that makes it into a 225mm. To do so, you have to remove the primitive T2 style mount, screw the converter ...

My first kingfisher
Lovely looking bird and that ISO! File cleaned up real nice. Do you use LR for the noise reduction or something else as I can't get my high ISO files to look anywhere near as good as that! Thanks Gareth, I was as surprised as you. I have found that exposing as far to the right as possible raises the...

Three from Kosmo Foto Mono
I don't know whether the 35mm stuff is better, but the 120 was a nightmare. I was trying to do a fluid scan and it just kept pulling away from the glass. Nothing short of superglue would have held it flat. The Lomo magnetic neg holder worked OK once you had wrestled it into place, but getting the...

First roll of Infrared
I shot a roll of Rollei Infrared film using a 720nm filter and metering for ISO 6, taking two shots, one as metered and one over. I haven't got the negs back yet to check, but it looks like the ISO 6 was plenty, if not slightly too much. Here is one photo from the roll taken using my MX and a SMC ...

First roll of Infrared
Which shift lens is it? The K28/3.5 apparently has a gelatine filter clip at the back: - not suggesting the filter might be easy to get though! In this case the foreground interest really adds to the image, well done for picking that vantage point. If I ever get my Intrepid 4x5 going, I migh...

First roll of Infrared
Very nice images. The Church and grave stones is a very suitable motive for infrared, and is very nicely framed. I also like the trees/countryside motives in images 2+3, great skies. Does the Rollei infrared film require special handling (when loading the film i.e.)? Have you tried using this film w...

First roll of Infrared
The instructions just say to load it in subdued light. I did notice that one or two frames have some light piping so I would be tempted to make the light very subdued next time or use my changing bag. This is the first roll I have tried and only have a 720nm filter. I like the results though an...

PENTAX Zoom 90 - a bit disappointing --
I was given a PENTAX Zoom 90 by a Camera Club member some years ago and just found it in my cupboard so thought I would try it out with some KB200 cut from bulk that I got from my Deceased Great Friend via his Sons --- Results were mostly not sharp, badly focussed where I was taking Street Pho...

Into Lennyblokes territory
Nice set...i've come to the conclusion I DO definitely like the IR filter look. Particularly like 1 and 5 as the white and blue give a very distinct look...must be because I like snowy images! What frequency of IR conversion did you go for? Karlo

Playing with ICM and normal landscapes
Thanks all. Lenny, not harsh but true. It's something that I'll revisit. I think I confused people when I said ICM! When I said ICM I meant in camera movement so keeping the camera stationary and awaiting the wind to move the grasses and capture that with a slow shutter speed. Clearly this isn't ICM...

Getting out cycling with my new K1 mkii & kit lens 28-105.
Some super images, although I think you've tweaked the shadows a little too much in the first image. I believe the images can be enriched by use of a graduated filter (2 stop) to bring down the sky and maybe a 6-10 stop neutral density filter to smooth out the water, then converting into mono, ...

Getting out cycling with my new K1 mkii & kit lens 28-105.
I tend to keep the K1 on -1/3EV. It might be worth playing with the button at 3 o'clock on the 4 way controller too. It might have defaulted to 'Bright', when you actually want 'Natural'. These two options are almost like having a built-in low-value ND filter!

Getting out cycling with my new K1 mkii & kit lens 28-105.
Thanks Peter for the info, I use TAV mostly as I'm mainly taking bird shots, will remember to use Av. With regards to filters I have been looking on the tinternet and Lee look very expensive so unsure of the way to go, have actually got old Cokin resin filters from film days with adapter, but the...

Getting out cycling with my new K1 mkii & kit lens 28-105.
Thanks chaps some good info, I had the setting on the KP to Natural but on Bright on the K1. So easy miss all the settings! Also had read about using EV set 0.5 on the K1 before, so shall be trying that. The filter holder for sale I did note it was a 150, and have been checking out the Lee site, ...

Bovisand in the drizzle.
As I have no filters/adapter that fit my DSLR kit yet, I have been playing around on this grey day with hand holding an old Cokin 65mm square filter, "Gradual G2, No.121" it states on the case - but has been stored 30'ish years. :shock: I found it just covered the front of the 28-105mm K1 kit l...

Bovisand in the drizzle.
Nice little set there :!: Of the 3 photos you've got the 2nd one just right (IMO) - there's darkening of the clouds yet still some brightness toward the horizon. The 3rd shot looks too unnatural with the sky appearing a bit "muddy" and the first isn't far off - maybe if the filter had been moved sl...
