I haven't picked up the camera for about 2 months

Went into Edinburgh this morning with the the K10D took the Pentax 10-17, Pentax 17-70 and the Sigma 105.

I decided three things, a). I don't need any other lenses, b). the Pentax 17-70 is superb, and c). the Sigma is the sharpest tool in the box, and four, ( I know I said 'three' at the start ), but I could not live without the 'Fishy'

The lines of light and your huge shadow in number 1 are brilliant

I was going back to the car park when I saw the light reflected on to the road.

I was about to take the photograph, when I heard the ambulance coming, so I just waited for a second or two.

Seemed to work a bit better than I had planned.

Only one thing I can say: You should pick up your camera more often!

I hope you came across some nice curves...

Number one for me .. very different.
Number two seems to have a halo round the subject .. HDR?
Like number three as well.

Wonderful photos, I especially love that portrait. Well seen.

And #1 is pretty cool too.

3 & 1 for me too, John. The portrait's particularly nice.

BTW, thanks for turning me on to Fishy - it was your photos that first alerted me to that lens' many qualities. Just spent a w/e away where I could hardly take it off the camera. It's just a fabulous little lens. The colour rendition in particular has really impressed me. And I'm finding it's surprisingly versatile - even great for capturing people as you never really have to step back, you just shoot what's (slap bang!) in front of you.

Nice set Galoot,

1 & 3 for me.
I am not a portrait fan, (I find them all visually a bit to similar and bland). But I really like hpw you have done no.3.
