theres some fantastic shots above - well done all. This shot is only 24 hours old - my sister in law hates me taking pictures of her and I was playing with a new 500mm lens several rooms away and just had to take the shot. However, the light was poor so i cranked up the iso. The colour shots looks p...

Well, I finally got to try it, haggled him down and am now the proud owner of said lens :-) a few comments... 1) Its the non OS version but from what little I can glean on the web, appears to be optically identical to the slightly newer OS version. 2) In good light, its pretty sharp and is just abou...

Henry - Stunning green shots
Birma - Nice rose
Greg - Surreal blood red sunset (and yes it counts

That's a nice shade of pastel blue in that picture Birma (not dissimilar to used to paint my lavatory

The exact opposite of the other thread I just started - Slightly harder to define but basically post photos where you think a single colour is an absolutely essential component of the shot, ie large block of colour that totally dominates or draws the eye into the image. ie... shots from the Science ...

OK, a new thread - you can post any shot you like, providing its black and white.. or grey :-) Reculver Towers, a55, Tokina 11-16 at 16mm, f9, 1/125s iso 100 http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6049/5889394368_0b04a4176f_b.jpg A very misty St Margaret Bay, Kent, a55, Tok at 16mm, f9 1/320s iso 100 http:/...

just read a press release to this effect over on DPreview. WoW!! This is both simultaneously as I secretly predicted (privately, in my head) and a bit of a surprise! After seeing the way the market was going last year / that apparent piece of desperate doggie-doo they announced earlier this week, th...

Always entertaining DrScott, I agree with your 'not flattering' statement in the last, was that a wax figure or something? Greg ps. I didn't know that about the street closure Pako, I never suspected that anyone would be game to close roads to traffic in NY. Greg, It was a wax display figure at a M...

OK - just had a real near miss with my new lens. To cut a long story short, I paused to check my camera was securely attached to my camera strap, you now, to make sure it was safe and I didn't drop it, and a few seconds later my a55 and 2 week old Tokina lens was bouncing off a concrete floor! Fortu...

So, changed my UWA to the Tokina 11-16 and gave it a test run this week. A quirky lens but not without its charms and sharp if you stop it down a little. Overall I like it, although I did notice the following... It has a very slight tendency to flare if you catch a little bit of sun :-)... https://l...

So after being inspired by the UWA thread a few weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my tamron 10-24 to the much better reviewed Tokina 11-16. Now, before I purchased I trawled the net looking at reviews on various bodies and knew this was a lens thats a bit quirky BUT was generally regarded to be very s...

Dusty I cam across this company via a post on DPreview... Lytro its a small start up company that makes some very bold claims about miniaturising light field tech onto a camera sensor.. the long and short of it is you take the shot first, then focus afterwards in software! I'm skeptical but if it wo...
