This Week's Amateur Photographer
We've had Damien and Nigel giving talks at our club and both represented MILC companies as well - Panasonic and Olympus respectively. Both were quite shocked when I made my feelings known about EVF. They do have their advantages, but I prefer to see what the camera sees with no digitalisation what...

Long Exposures
Yes Martin, I will be doing some seascapes. Smoothing out the sea. I have the filters. ND's and grad's. I'm a Kase user. Which I have owned for quite a while now. But never use. 82mm screw thread... But they don't fit my DFA 15-30 which was purchased later. The lens can take a 150mm system. But ...

Website feedback
So, just to update, moving the galleries to 'shop' galleries took an age but its now done. The landscape gallery needs more sun categories to help filter results and project unknown needs a proper landing page like the galleries. Bar this and adding the vlogs to the website and updating the blog pag...

Have you tried using a polarizer filter?

Non-reflective Ink Needed!
Thanks - less than a day and four helpful suggestions :). So here's progress so far... Sharpies - I've heard about them but never seen or used them. They produce an 'extreme' version specifically for exposure to sun, rain and generally bad weather but I can't find anyone selling it in the UK. I'l...

Lens hood for 18mm full frame lens
I'm eyeing up an 18 - 28mm lens for my K-1. It's just a cheapie to test out if I have much use for such a lens. One thing is bothering me a little so I come to the cognoscenti for advice. At 18mm I'm thinking lens hood and whether it's practical at all, especially as the filter thread is 72mm. Any t...

pentax da*300 f4
I cursed it for a long time and thought I had a lemon. Then I remembered that I'd put a slim skylight filter on it to protect the front element (which IS perilously close to the front). Now that I remove it prior to use it has proved to be an excellent lens. Bokeh isn't always something to write hom...

K5 Replacement/Equivalant
Maybe consider a used KP if you may be interested in street photography and a bit of quirkyness. It’ll likely be a noticeable upgrade from your K5 (resolution, no physical AA filter, improved high ISO performance, improved AF, pixel shift, tilting screen plus WiFi onboard) and can be set up with the...

Astro from the last few weeks...
Over the last few weeks I have managed to capture some images of the cosmos. It was a case of cloud dodging and deciding to be a weather forcast denier!! That lot don't half lie!! All images were stacked and stretched in Siril, then PP'd in Photoshop and Topaz AI DeNoise. 1. The Eagle Nebula...

Some Deep Sky Objects!
Over the past few months, on the odd clear night, I managed to grab some time deep sky imaging. It did also include an attempted session where I had a massive tantrum in my back garden, stomping about whinging about the bloody weather in this country!!! I set up all my kit, started to do some calibr...

Rays of sunshine
If it ones that come from behind or through clouds, i find using full or graduated ND filters is best. If it's the ones between trees or some form of landmark, then a day with high humidity is a good start, as you have found out. You can also use a bit of post processing, to make them stand out m...

Spad's Astro Part Alpha
This is Messier 42, better known as the Orion Nebula. This was shot using a Dual Narrow Band filter. This filter is designed to only let light spectrums of Hydrogen Alpha & Oxygen III at 7nm thru. This was taken at silly AM on Wednesday morning, at Parsley Hay on the High Peak Trail. Usual kit...

Summer Projects
This summer (and it seems like every summer!) I plan to spend more time taking landscapes and wildlife. No doubt the odd steam engine may find its way into frame as well. I have a stack of filters that I have never made the best use of , so maybe this year............. My filter bag permanently liv...

I hate weather forecasters!!
Well as you know I said I'd stay on the site, and put astro stuff up... But I have not had the opportunity to actually do any, pretty much since October last year!!! I only had 1 chance, and it was almost a full moon! So, I thought sod this. Stuffed a wide band filter on and went for it!! Usua...

K-70 DIY Projects
Since I bought my K-70 in 2018 I have come up with some DIY projects for it. The first was concieved of when I first used some long glass with it. I did not like having the glass mounted on the tripod with the K-70 body hanging off the back of the glass and otherwide unsupported. My solution was ...

Partial Eclipse
I live in Spain and will be a little north of Segovia where the eclipse will be total. I have been preparing for the eclipse since the beginning of the year, both researching what needs to be done and gathering the appropriate gear to do it - eclipse photography is a world of it's own. I will be...

Partial Eclipse
This is my eclipse rig (taken on my S-M-C Takumar 85/1.8 which makes a lovely gear p0rn lens). Not seen here are the eclipse filter and cable remote. And the baseball cap to pop on the end when not in use to prevent the sun from damaging things even with the solar filter on. by , on Flickr ...

Partial Eclipse
I was in Bilbao today and decided to drive 2 hours west to Burgos and watched the eclipse from the castle grounds there, at about 3,000 ft altitude. There were perhaps 2,000-3,000 people there. Totality lasted about 90 secs. The most astonishing thing was to see the eclipse happen through the high f...

Partial Eclipse
My friends and family around Edinburgh saw basically nothing due to heavy clouds. We went to a village called Consuegra De Murera in central Spain where there were a few hundred people watching the eclipse from a country road between fields of sunflowers. In the village there was a small bar wit...
