Day 81 A bit of a mixed bag tonight. First off yet another shot with my 35mm. One which I had to do quite a bit of walking to focus "with my feet". I did the same picture with my 18-105 and it was easier but not as sharp or as much fun. I tried to compose this with a bit of a difference. Top...

Re: March 2014 Monthly Assignment - Abstract "Post entries only, NO COMMENTS please" Entry #3

Just having bait of fun in another thread about buying a number of prime lenses reminded me that I had a dream the other night. There I was sitting on the tail gate of my brand new truck. At first I thought it was a Nissan but on closer inspection it was a NASsan … Anyway I had all this gear...

Down the bottom of the screen 19 members and 329 guests …. lurkers. Probably taking photos of us. Maybe deciding whether they should join. There should be a charge for lurking! Bwahahaha

Day 80 A slack day today I am afraid. Left the photo till the last minute and then went out so not in the right frame of mind. Oh well these days will happen. Things were different when I went to school - we used to get homework! And I caught this fellow coming out of the supermarket...

Can anyone tell me if this is any good? I understand it cannot be used with TTL but does that mean I cannot use it at all with my D5100 or put another way what would I need to use it with my D5100? Thanks guys.

I've never heard the term before but here is a truly incredible video on this phenomena I'm sure there are even one or two of you that could get one of these individuals in focus. 4 minutes of sheer delight .. enjoy! Dylan Winter and the Starling Murmurations - YouTubeDylan Winter and the...

Day 79 Not pretty but "pretty" can be improved with practice. They taste good. Hope flatmate agrees otherwise what will she eat? This was my third attempt at uploading this - is the server playing up again?

This is a very moving video on modern day slavery with some incredible photos. It is 20 minutes long and I had to watch till the end. Filmed in 2012 so you may have seen it. Lisa Kristine: Photos that bear witness to modern slavery | Talk Video | TED Well worth watching in my opinion.

Day 78 A walk in the 'hood with my 18-105mm. Have I mentioned I love that lens? And have I thanked Don for his endorsement of it (who knows one day I may have a D7100 too!)? Let's Start with some clouds: Then a few of the 'hood cats: Then my favourite for the day - just enjoyed...

Same Day Okey dokey … The sunset was boring so I headed into the shopping mall to test the 35mm 1.8 The following shots were all hand held. Farmers was my test shot. I will probably also post this in the Neon thread. Up next is a special on sunglasses. I was restricted in my retreat by...

Day 76 I will be going out later in the hope of a good sunset but in the meanwhile came across this flag which epitomises my attitude to photography: I will NEVER give up on the learning curve!

Day 75 Went for a 3 hour drive this afternoon in search of a photo and virtually every time I do that I come back empty handed. The picture is either there or it isn't for me. Trying to "find" it doesn't seem to work. I am now trying to make something out of the ones I got and putting myself...

Day 74 They all laughed at me a couple of weeks ago when I made a concrete block, inserted a pipe and then a BIG branch in the pipe. My new feeder was ready to go and no amount of wind would blow it away. After setting it all up outside on the lawn to be "found" it has taken a few weeks for...

There … finally got it posted. I should have just used Mai's "Bread" shot.

Day 72 Really enjoying my 35mm 1.8mm and have had it on for 3 days! The best part is the depth of field and the sharpness. Going to post one photo only as I want to do some photoshop work - maybe even try an entry for the monthly comp.

I've done my photo for the day - Charley above. But … I have been working in learning how to use Elements 11 and thanks to Jake @BackdoorHippie I have learnt a lot. The following is a photo I took on Sunday and worked on tonight to make it look like a watercolour on canvas. I am pretty happy...
