Popped out a few days ago to reshoot Barry Island. I think I'm addicted to shooting either Barry or spaces where there is a documentary narrative.

These all Pentax K1 and either DFA 24-70mm or DA* 60-250mm

Seriously good - all of 'em. However, 1. Space for me if I had to choose. Why? Well, because a) it's B&W and I like that format. And, b) because it does have a story. And as a writer, I like stories so this resonates.

Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

The beach shots have a lovely "look" to them with the sand and sky both being so high key yet your subjects being so normally exposed, a great look

The on-shore shots have a real vibrancy to them, very suited to the subject - you're clearly enjoying your photography again Gareth, keep at it

I really like the distant ones, the first and the 10th particularly with their minimalism.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Numbers 2 and 7 for me, but liked them all.

Thanks all. Something for everyone like! Just like the funfair and the beach! I uploaded a set of near 40 images to my FB page and Barry Island FB reshared my post. Someone saw it and didn't like the bins
