Very nice, I particularly like the second one. A nice juxtaposition of rural and urban.

Many thanks all. With the second one I wish I hadn't burnt out the sun. I must buy some ND filters!
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

That's because I'm rubbish at street scenes!

They're just amazing, Kris. Second on just has it for me but, then again...
I've got that lens. Perhaps I should use it sometimes if it can do this!

Florida was in the first week in January. I was just in NYC this trip.
The kit lens is highly variable in quality, I was lucky that I got a very good example with my K10D which has negated my desire to buy a DA* 16-50 or a DA 16-45. I don't mind not having the extra 2mm as I have the 12-24mm, and the DA* 50-135mm covers the longer end. I am surprised how many of my shots are taken with the "humble" Mk I kit lens. I shan't part with it in a hurry.

Thats a familiar spot! I really like the second one, those clouds are beautiful. Every time I have made it to Central Park this Winter it has been overcast skies, so I haven't gotten any good shots yet. Nice capture.

I have always like this kit lens too, every time I have used mine at the wide end for shots like that it has produced pretty good results, in fact the only thing that lets it down is my eye ! I didn't realise they varied in quality thoughThe kit lens is highly variable in quality, I was lucky that I got a very good example with my K10D which has negated my desire to buy a DA* 16-50 or a DA 16-45.

Hertfordshire,

Both taken using the Mk I kit lens, K20D.
Thanks, Kris.
