I'm married to my K30, the K3 is temptress. Am I being unfaithful if I even think about it?

YES! Well according to some learned friars at least.

This is what they have to say....

I've oft been told by learned friars,
That wishing and the crime are one,
And Heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.

If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our heart's content;
Come, then, at least we may enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment!

Make of that what you will... but I suspect divorce is in the air! lol...

Basically just a bit of PP with aperture.

I'm still practising with using aperture, so treat me gently.

It's gone a bit too dark now, somewhere in between would be great! You'll love the K-5, just make sure you treat it to decent glass!

Hi David

I see what you mean - I've been using Photogene on my iPad for PP since last summer and been pleased with the results - just changed to a MacBook with Retina display and bought Aperture, hence why I'm playing with it!

Looking at the image again I agree it is a little dark - my only excuse is that I've just got in after a 12 hour shift.

Hopefully the weather gods will be kind this weekend - I'm planning on a trip to Kirkham Priory at the weekend (your Roche Abbey images have inspired me!).

Cheers


John

OOPS! Sorry, meant K-3, not K-5!!

Hope your trip to the Abbey goes well, I'm going back to Roche soon to try out some more shots with different techniques. Look forward to seeing some pics on here when you've been!

Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

I think it's like a round of drinks in the pub. Must be when Steve cashes in his lottery ticket and buys us all one

It could be a countdown to an important event or anniversary on Tuesday.

See link

My guess is he's getting excited about Dave Edmunds 70th Birthday (he of pub rock and new wave fame with "numerous hits in the 1970s and early 1980s, his natural leaning has always been towards 1950s style rock and roll".). Certainly worth celebrating ... possibly by buying a shiny new camera?

There's no pulling the wool over your eyes Vic.
