Really good set of images - I bet the impact of them printed large is stunning. I keep going back to No.1 - it has a lovely mood to it :)

Pentax Q with100 year old lens
After my fairly disappointing results with the 110 lenses I decided to go the whole mile and these are taken with a hundred year old lens liberated from a Vest Pocket Kodak folding camera. From the camera body going outwards there is a Pentax K to Q adapter, a 13mm extension tube, Pentax M42 to K ad...

Pentax Q with100 year old lens
I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with Dr Orloff on this one. The IQ is really terrible, rather than looking dreamy it all looks out of focus. I do applaud you Ken for trying out different combinations and experimenting like this, but maybe this one is best consigned to the 'rejected' pil...

3 days old and not a care in the world
The lens looks nice and sharp, with good colours. I think the images are just a little under-exposed though, try bringing the exposure / levels up a bit and this would make a big difference. Regards David Thanks David - that'll teach me to work in a room with poor light at 11pm. I can't see a w...

getting ready for the supermoon
Both good, but with no foreground interest it could be any full moon. To show it is a "super moon" it needs some point of reference. nothing of interest from my back garden.. heading here sat/sun night, tis only 8ish miles away from me. http://www.leicestershirevillages.com/croft/villagehistor...

Two from the Q
Thanks Alan. Laziness and the pending visit back to Blighty are my only excuse. Best regards

Hot shoeing
Thanks for feedback so far. Be grateful for any more. This was natural light. I have tweaked the levels in lightroom. Good point Ken re the wrist band. Original reason for the tight crop was because I don't like the blown highlights on the farriers back

I still prefer the first one, it takes you right into the action. I take it the highlight on the back is past recovery.

Hot shoeing
Hard to say which I like best - they're both terrific. I can almost smell the smoke coming off the hoof and I like the man's look of total concentration. The back lighting is perfect - great atmosphere and feeling.

The third version is an excellent image. I thought the first was too tight a crop and I agree about the blown highlight on the man's back.

New toy - the K-01
So I've been playing around with my new K-01 today and the Sigma 10-20. And I have to say I love the thing. I agree not the best looking camera by far, but in ease to use and a far better implementation of movie mode, this really is a useful back-up camera. It's unusual looks will also come in handy...

New toy - the K-01
Very nice pics indeed Bob... I also have a K-01... like you, extremely pleased with it... use it as a back up landscape body, and also for urban pics either in crowded places, or out with the kids etc... Looks like a toy, K5 picture quality, half the price... bingo... Best

New toy - the K-01
I'm starting to regret selling it to you now! Good to see it's bringing so much joy though. I certainly recommend the 40xs, I could slip it inside a small bag and then in a coat pocket. I think SRS were selling them for £149 a few weeks back, so they may appear again? Cheers Tony

New toy - the K-01
Wow - can I also add that I've been playing with the 50mm M 1.7. With focus peaking it just works so well. Kids have been playing around in the garden and I've been able to keep up with them so easily. Manual focussing has never been better for me :). Makes getting a K-01 really worth while for that...

New toy - the K-01
Remember the focus peaking is also available on the K30, Bob! Great shots, I quite like the K01 and for 125.00 it's a solid buy!

New toy - the K-01
Remember the focus peaking is also available on the K30 I did mess about with the K30 in Live View to compare the two, and whilst a very useful and usable feature on the K30, on the K-01 it it is an all-round better experience.

Sunbathing Gulls and a rusting Belsen Straggler
Very nice gull shots. Good demonstration of differential focus and DOF. Plenty of detail in the whites on the second shot

Some K-5IIs Images
I'm interested to know what your typical Post Processing is for these shots, and did you use ND grads too? Thanks Hi Lennybloke, thanks for the comments, much appreciated. You've already seen that I use Hitech ND Grads, as for the processing it's pretty standard stuff as I don't have the skills ...
