It'd look good if you photoshop it to make the background less saturated

no i didn't mean for me.
I meant you should try desaturating the background, or blurring a little. Just to draw attention to the front.
But nvm.

Well, I kinda like the flying pictures. You could try playing around with the shutter priority mode (Tv in Canons) to have more motion and blur to the pictures.

Thanks Always wondered what that is

Yeah, manuals are good to read sometimes. You can learn a lot.

This article will get you started on panning.

Yeah, it has some blur, but 1/160 is really short exposure. I still like the shot though.

Tried out shooting in raw and only got two decent shots. It's mainly my fault anyway.

Got a new Russian lens today. The Helios-44K-4. It's essentially the same lens as my Helios-44M, but in Pentax K-mount rather than M42 screwmount. And it's just as optically awesome. 58mm f/2 max aperture.

f/2, no sharpening. Love that crazy swirly bokeh:


















f/4, no sharpening. So sharp!:

These ones are seriously sharp, wow. I need a new browser because these cut my browser to pieces.

DWB inspired me:

Sadly I couldn't get the results I wanted, the aperture mechanism of the macro lens (the 35-105 someone dropped) I intended to use turned out to be missing a spring and appears to be stuck close to, but not at the maximum aperture

1/80 sec. at f/I don't know, EXIF says f/29 but with the short exposure in shade, I highly doubt that. It's probably somewhere around 4.5. Also no sharpening or anything else for that matter, just resized (Photoshop Bicubic).

I'll fix the lens ASAP as it's obviously a pretty good lens for that kind of stuff

Haven't posted for a few days, so I thought I'd come and annoy you all again

I took a drive up into the Yorkshire Dales again yesterday, and had a good day taking photos and taking in the scenery. One of my favourite places to be.

Pendragon Castle


Above Hawes


Wainwath Force


And a pic of mah dawg, I took today (Deliberately induced grain, won't do that again!)

Sweet views, all I got is trees and lakes and trees between lakes. Never been on such open plain or hill you got there.

Lakes and trees.

That bokeh is really nice, especially the foliage with sunny highlights. I was lucky enough to shoot with a Canon 400mm f/2.8 IS recently and was blown away by the out-of-focus areas from that lens as well. I suspect you paid a lot less than $6000 though...

Try $50 shipped, from Russia.

Yesterday was a good day for that, actually! I decided to drive the "Buttertubs Pass", which Top Gear fans will know is one of Clarkson's favourite roads in all the world! (see attached image)

Unfortunately, in a 2.0L Turbo Diesel estate, it's not so much fun as it is scary as shit! The car's weird.. it gets an oscillation going in the suspension and the front wheels spend way too much time in the air!

No no no, you did it all wrong. It's his favorite road...
