Hi Everyone having a go at getting a good portrait of our new born daughter Ellen. Used the KR with my F 50mm F1.7 at 5.6 and an old vivitar flash with a diffuser fitted. Would love to hear your comments and tips for improvement as the wife wants one to frame!

I too think they are great and of particular interest to me as I have a K-r. What I'd like to know is when you bracketed the shots did you press the shutter release button with the camera on a tripod? What I would like to do is use a remote to initiate the pictures but since you cannot set the camera to bracket at the same time as setting it to respond to the remote, and the camera does not have a cable release socket, there really is no alternative.

Just interested to know how you get round it as I would like to limit the movement/shaking of the camera as the pictures are taken.

But great pictures - looks like the last one you are on a boat in the river!

Thanks again guys for the positive comments. To answer your question Andy i am new to this tripod stuff and also new to the KR after very recently switching from my trusty istds. i found to achieve the best results i shot 3 frames in full manual at 10 secs 20 secs and 30 sec exposures for these particular shots also just using the 2 second timer and standing back I found when shooting long exposures you can easily get a bit lost with the auto bracketing, so just tried to keep it simple.

Regards

Malcolm

Very good night shots, 1st especially which benefits from some tone in the sky. The 18-55 is really shining there I wonder if perhaps you've pushed the sharpening just a bit too much?
Yeah i agree on the sharpening, will do what i usually do go back to them tomorrow with a fresh set of eyes and adjust.
