Hi Peter. Thank you for your valuable advices. In the 1st shot, I didn't realize that focusing too far from the boats could make them soft, since i used f11/f13 to shoot. The 2nd, was my first attempt to make a silhouete picture and the sun was a big problem. I was shooting with a Sigma 28-80mm, very prone to flares and definetely not sharp at all.
I'll find the proper forum to post my pictures to get more and more critiques and advices. It's much better then only read the comments about other people's shots, like I'm being doing in the last 2 years.:p

:D I'm still not believing the 3dr position I got, among so fantastic pictures. About the lamps position for a moment I wouldn't even take this shot, because the lamp posts were not simmetric at all, shame of architeture's composition. They have moved the first lamp to give space for a parking barrier. Anyway, thank you all very much.

Hello everyone!! That's my first time in the Photo Galleries section. I'd like to share some pictures I made from some magnificent cathedrals in Europe. This is a fantastic theme. Everytime is a big challenge to shoot in sacred grounds, most of the time with few light, handheld and to not mention some security guys complaining about your gear :p.

Yes. Most of the times, they are pretty clean. The takumar I used in this picture was very clean, front and rear. I don't use filters, not as a protection factor, only polarizer and nd filters.

I'm right now trying to corfirm my statement, looking my photo collection with different lens and I will try to post different examples. I'm sure that this extreme case happened before with other manual lenses - i have a few. Unfortunately I don't have many AF, just the kit lens and two other sigmas zooms. Maybe the original focus screen allied by a unfocused vision is my main problem :hmm:. Maybe it's time to try another focus screen instead to blame my lens.

OMG!!! What a sharp this parrot is! I'm really impressed.
I never got a picture sharp like this and always find excuses for that. First I say that's because it's a "kit" lens, them because sigmas are soft, or because I'm using a manual lens and finally when everything is right I blame my own eyes :o for not take a sharp picture.
So, as being able to try different lenses, manuals and automatics, screw mounts or PK mounts, and get always a soft or out of focus finish, do you think that could be a problem with my camera? Is there any way to test it, homemade speaking?

Mybe I couldn't express myself good enough (sorry but english is not my first language :() or maybe that's not the right place to post, but you can see what I mean about my pictures in this extreme crop. Letters seems to be blurred. Is this a problem of no infinity focus? Or, is there any problem if the lens is not properly mounted? (I remember i folded the alluminium foil twice or three times before use it).
Thanks
Ron

Hello guys. I've been lurking this fantastic forum for about 2 years, but just now I have a big question for all the wizards we have here.
Wizards, because even after almost 10 thousand pictures I've made since I bought my beloved K10D 2 years ago, I can't achieve the same fantastics results i saw here so many times.
Please have a look in this picture I took yesterday with my K10 and a SMC-Tak 28/3.5, no pp, just crop. Could you tell me what can make this wierd ghost effect you see in the sign?
All my pictures look like this and I can't figure what's wrong. I'm using an original pentax adaptor, alluminium foil for right metering, it was a sunny day, lens perfectly clean, no filter attached, i just can't understand what's going on. Many thanks
