I took my camera for one of my friends in our archery club this evening. She is thinking of taking up photography again, but didn't like digital, so I said she could have a look at mine. She's now thinking of getting a Pentax!

Anyway, while I was waiting for her to arrive I got a couple of shots, ( not with my bow ).
I like this one.
C&C as always please.

I've tried using single use spectacle tissues, but without success. Maybe because they were cheap ones, but they smeared like hell.
Had to pinch one of my daughter's ( funnily enough, Pentax) cleaning cloths that she got with her spectacles.

Going to have to run with the crowd; number two for me.

Excellent news Simon.
Congratulations!!

Much better!!

I love that water, but the top of the building in pic one is very distracting.

So, how do you get him to sit so still and not start licking the lens???



Just spotted your signature...I need a better body too, but that's another story

Welcome back Gwyn. Look forward to seeing the photos

Still on my first DSLR, an istDL.
But loving it, so can't justify spending money upgrading it...for a while anyway

Seems to sum it up nicely

Nope, I don't believe a button on the camera can ever do it for us, because it doesn't knw exactly what we are trying to achieve.

Take the cat photo wich was posted a few days ago. One of the comments was that the dirt on the cat's eye was distracting. The OP said that the dirt was part of the point he was trying to make with the shot.

Likewise, the camera may "think" we want a particular setup and give us a technically perfect image for waht it thinks we want. But our, ( well, your) photographic knowledge might allow you to do so much more with the image.


IMHO
