Took this at a St George's Day celebration on the village green at the front of my house, earlier this afternoon.





.. for context, what I was photographing above can be seen in this shot. Here, Saxon rebels turn up to help defend our settlement against Norman infantry.

Yes, with the nose mount. It's a great shame they don't make an autofocus version.

I concur.

Hi,

This is a shot I took of a derelict petrol station while out cycling in Leicestershire this afternoon, using my K100D Super fitted with an old manual focus Pentax-A 28mm lens.

It's decidedly over-exposed, isn't it?




Are older lenses prone to exposure problems with a digital SLR, or was there something I could have done to avoid this? I have used the same lens / camera combination a few times, and haven't seen the same problem. Generally even much less expensive digital compacts I've used manage to get the exposure right.

No problems at all with the negative comments, but the more I revisit it, the more I disagree - or at least differ with respect to my own taste. Going to upload this to hang on the wall in my Second Life residence, to see what it looks like in a frame.

I think that's what I like about it .. strong sunlight hitting the white paper makes the rip and the shadow a bit more dramatic.

I took this pic purely so I could solicit opinion on whether the contents of the packet shown were likely to be counterfeit on another forum. But having visited again this evening, I find something very striking and pleasing about it.. or perhaps it really is just an indifferent snap of a torn earphone packet, and I'm going mad.

This more or less sums up my feelings on the matter. I first saw this about 7 years ago, but sadly it's more relevant than ever.

I won't image tag it, since it contains naughty words. Adult content; discretion advised.

No, no independent LCD screens. I think what you may be looking at are two back panels from the iMacs. There's a side panel from a G5 there, as well. I removed the hard drives and memory, and didn't bother reassembling.
