Is that meant to say "Fuji", or something less rude?""


My apologies. Must be the the red wine and throwback colonial genes talking there. best regards old chaps. Tally ho and all that.

Welcome.

What the F***? Are you guys still knobbing around with this pointless thread. Enough already! Anyway, my Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod and 486RC2 head is a modern masterpiece. Youngest son has a weekend off soccer (Football) tomorrow, but oldest will be playing at Plattsburg. Wish him well. I'll be there with the trusty K100D Super and Tokina 80-400, on a Velbon RUP-43 Monopod, for anyone who's interested. Weather will be sunny, I will be hung over, and much coffee will be drunk.

No.1 - Contrast is a bit high. Yachts are a bit too white, and deep water is a bit too dark. Otherwise, great composition and technical skill.
No. 2 - OK, but get rid of that yacht growing from the middle of the ferry.
No. 3 - Leave the sky and water alone, but include more to the right and much more to the left in the photo.
No. 4 - Crop out the sky altogether, and put the focus on the staggered row of yachts, top to bottom.

Last weekend, I was at the park with the family for Mother's Day, lying on the grass, and I looked up and noticed one of these leaves floating towards me, with the tree in the background. Prime photo opportunity, and where was my Pentax?? In the bloody wardrobe at home.Let this be a lesson to all of you.

Nice try. Pelicans, as with all wildlife, don't stay still for too long, and thus are hard to photograph. Straighten this one up, boost the contrast, crop a bit and convert to black and white (ie. reduce saturation), and see how the shot improves.

Thanks for the prompt replies, chaps.I'll keep you posted on the Powerex's, if they ever turn up.

Great lens. I have one, and I'm constantly impressed with the results it gives.

That's easy. Everyone knows "all roads lead to Rome", therefore Rome can't have any roads, because they would all lead back to itself.
I'll collect the prize in gold bullion, or K7's, thank you very much.

Just a general question. For all those using rechargeable AA batteries, what is your brand of choice? I've been using Sony 2500MaH batts in my K100D Super for three years now, but they are starting to go flat rather quickly now. I'm also trialling Eneloop 2000Mah batts,: not bad, but obviously don't have the same usage time. I'm currently awaiting delivery of some Powerex 2700Mah batts. Does anyone have any favourites??
