Like the black and white scene. Don't know if I'd want to lounge in front of that sign.

A shot I took on the roof of my apartment building this weekend. It's amazing the peace you can find above the noisy streets in NYC.

Good morning 26/4/2018 This thread is for un edited photos except in the photo app in windows 10. I personally do like some of the edited photos but I don't like to edit my photo's as I like the story my camera tells.
No photo shopping only Camera filters and Win Photo app No light box no photo magic just what you can get out of your camera. Lens filters etc acceptable and win 10 Photo app for those who's cameras aren't set up properly. any features in your camera are welcome. Definitely no Hours on a computer fixing or creating images only fine tuning by photo app. |

Be sure to keep your diopter focused. It is the little dial next to your viewfinder. Remove your lens, then look through the viewfinder at a light source.. You will see lines. Move the diopter dial until the lines are a sharp as possible. Keeping your diopter in focus for your eyesight, will help your pictures be in focus.

When photographing technical items with colours and chrome, and you want your pics to actually show how it looks - choose a grey day for the soft light. Especially if you donīt have a great studio with lots of lamps with diffusers.....
Here, as an example - a drumkit.
Pentax K5 - Pentax M 28/2

If you think that focusing with a wide-angle lenses is easy - you are deceiving yourself. Even with them the incorrect focus is immediately visible if you look at the picture with high magnification. My solution is to shoot with manual focus, in Live View Mode with 10x magnification in the preview. This way you could focus very precisely where you want to.
When focusing with an ultra wide-angle lenses there is another peculiarity. The focal plane which in principle must be flat and parallel to the sensor in these lenses very often is distorted. One such lens can be said that disposes with two planes of focus. This means that while making a landscape you focus in any subject in the center of the frame the corners probably will not have the desired focus and will look blurry. This can lead to the conclusion that the lens is of poor quality. However this is not quite so. Simply the focal plane for the angles is displaced nearer or further away from this for the center (depending on the lens).
Sometimes this difference can be compensated by stopping down the aperture and the increased depth of field but unfortunately not always. In some cases the difference is so big that even when the aperture is f/16 the corners will still be out of focus.
There is a somewhat solution for this too. For this purpose it is most convenient to shoot from a tripod and:
1) Activate Live View;
2) move the area for focusing to somewhere of about two thirds (2/3) of the center of the image and zoom to 10x preview;
3) focus manually there and stop down the aperture to f/8, f/11.
This will ensure you nearly the same depth of field across the picture and could give you the maximum from a wide-angle lens in most cases.
Hope this will help! :)
