The little coots are growing fast!
Their mothers are teaching them how to dive for food. They are bigger as well.

Yep... i'm not with colors yet.
That was my first set shoot entirely in RAW, i dumped JPEG for good now.
Maybe a couple more sessions and i will get the colors right too

Really nice! Now that you've got the technical part right, get the composition right
Lower your camera almost or at the level of the water.
Do not shoot from sooo above.
Nice job!

That was even more annoying than previous one...
This time i was throwing coins in a transparent bowl full with water, again surrounded by kitchen cloths.
One YN-560 triggered by built-in flash, which was covered by sheet of black paper. Took me 40 or 50 coins to get the focus right

Yep... When I was selling my K-7, i tried at 350 starting price... no interest at all.
When i relished it and started at 250 it ended up sold for 380. It was like 300 in the last 30 seconds and then it hit the roof

Hi there,
i have a problem with my focusing ring on my recently acquired FA 100.
Firstly, it refused to focus to infinity, now the focusing ring is loose and doesn't even rotate, just a noise.
I think the focusing gear mechanism is out of alignment. Is there any service manual on the internet or somebody who has opened this lens can share thoughts.
And how much do you think lens repair would cost, though i am sure there is nothing broken, just the gears are off. I had the same problem with my sigma, but they fixed it under warranty. And do you know somewhere in Southampton or Portsmouth i can go to fix it.

Firstly you didn't know how much they were worth, now you have a minimum you are comfortable with.

That's called greed. No bad feelings, just kidding
Good luck!

The light was awful, so the quality suffered A LOT.
