I wish I could do people shots when I see these.....

Thanks Ian although with conditions like those in the photo, I wonder how nostalgic you get
I think the same thing! These are really good aren't they?
Got a tip for us?

I like this one better, more the angle than anything. This one looks alive!
Thanks, all. I find something appealing about the abstract form of the first one, but agree that the second works better as an image of the hummingbird. I may have another go at that idea in the future, but for today, back to my regularly scheduled program...

I never grow tired of looking at these shots. They are stunning
It's a little less 'full time' than I'm used to, but that's certainly not a complaint.
Very nice shot. I would've framed it differently, but still...very nice.Another shot from one of my recent shoots.

The fortified churches are close to the Scottish border, where cross-border raids were common. Between the nave and the thick-walled tower is a metal portcullis, which could be bolted into place. People would lock themselves in the tower, and no doubt pray for deliverance. The only door into the church was a mere two-foot wide...
I agree with Ish...nothing wrong with a long lens for a shot like that. It's a great way to smooth-out the background. I'm wondering why the D7100 instead of your D750. Still, a nice shot with great colours AFB.

No, not free lensing; my Helios was pretty much surplus once I got my hands on a Nikkor-S 50mm 1.4, so I reversed the front element to get a greater effect.
Of course, it won't focus as sharply now but I quite like it.
Cheers

Thanks for the information, I'm going to try that lens reversal on my old helios lens.
We'll soon have a little club going then
Doing the reversal makes the top two lens elements touch each other, so be careful you don't grind them together and make it impossible to reverse the reversal
Cheers

Thanks. D7100 was because I was out there looking for birds. A bit more reach. I know I can use the D750 in crop mode but I usually hook up my longer lense to the D7100.

This might be of use to someone they suggest using a spacing Washer.
Work really busy at the moment so need to find some more time to experiment with this

Also smells of coconut. The gorse that is, not Mrs Hughmac to my knowledge. Honest
Thanks, wish I'd seen that particular link before I went ahead. I've probably got a rubber washer the correct size to have a go myself sometime and put it right.http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1054931

I've just had a sniff and can confirm she doesn't smell of coconut. Strange look I'm getting now though.
Cheers
