K5 @ ISO 12800
I really love the last one - it is so full of movement and expression.
You are doing a good job of promoting summer in Murcia


Unbelievable quality for such a high ISO

Another great set Peter, hard to believe the ISO again!

Thanks Gwyn. Did I forget to mention, it was 27 degrees Celsius . . . at midnight

I bet your glad you bought the K-5...... try doing that with a K20D

Unbelievable quality for such a high ISO

I am glad, what I find most surprising, and not a little disturbing, is that some of these images looked rubbish on the rear screen of the camera, to the extent that I almost binned them.
So, my tip of the week:- Never trust the rear screen. Never delete images until you see it on a decent monitor (unless they are really rubbish for some other reason).

It was 14C here - at midday yesterday. We have our own little depression over the Netherlands with the cloud and rain circling over us like water down a plughole - resulting in weather more suitable for October than July.

Don't forget that underexposed and overexposed shots can usually be pulled back. So don't bin anything

I do especially miss all the festivals and suchlike.
Aren't you planning on moving back sometime?
If I weren't such a wimp I think I'd be looking to move there.

Totana, Spain.
Last nights performance was a fusion of jazz, ballet, and flamenco, with just a touch of broadway.
These are a few I took of one of the more balletic/flamenco acts of the night. All at ISO 12800 (K5 + DA* 60-250)
