Hello All

I took these this afternoon whilst out with my little man (6) on his bike

These were taken whilst I was trying to trecover from failing to keep up with him

Both are crops, the moon in particular, both taken with my K10D and my m42 Tokina 300mm

C&c welcome

I'd be very pleased with both of these especially given the old lens.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Hi Kris

Having seen your photo's this really does feel like praise - thank you

Stu

p.s. I think that using these old lenses has improved my photography, my af stuff hardly gets a look in these days

Lovely colours and composition - and sharp too.

Very good images. How does a Robin know where to put its feet whilst landing on such perches?

Best regards

Lovell to see an M42 lens pressed into service. Nice shots.

I bought an old bike years ago when I failed to keep up with my "little man" on his bike and I've been cycling to work, town and for pleasure ever since while he, of course, now drives everywhere! There's a moral there somewhere.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thank you for the positive comments

I have just noticed that the exif info shows 400mm - I had forgotten to change the shake reduction to suit the lens

K10 - my little man asked the same question about how he knows where to keep his feet

I was going to buy a bike but then I couldn't carry my camera - I guess I will just have to get a bit fitter so i can keep up

Regards

Nice shots, love the moon shot especially. The robin shot is lovely but I keep wondering why the bramble branch is purple? Is the white balance perhaps off a bit?

I agree, given the lens these are good shots, and yes the moon is also my pick of the two.
