Three from a nice weekend

Been up to Newcastle-Upon Tyne this Friday / Saturday on a business trip, then down to Staines in North Yorkshire this afternoon. Needless to say the cameras went with me! Here are three quite different images I managed to grab on the trip, all with the K-5iis.

Gateshead Sunset - DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro





Taking The Shot - DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro





Staithes Sunset - DA 17-70 + Hoya Pro1 Polariser




Hope you like; cc welcomed.

Really like the last one David, nice tones.

Beautifully clear pics. Ian

Lovely set David. No 1 would be my favourite...

Nice little set David.

Trespassing in Geordie Land eh! I'll set Barrie on you. Nice set David.

PS: Judging by the first shot it looks like you stayed at the Hilton.

Yeah poaching, they will all be up here if there are more like this on show!

There is an amazing amount of detail packed into the first, I assume down to the Klls

Very nice set, prefer #1 and #3.

Thanks Barrie, I won't confirm or deny your statement otherwise I'm at risk of another declaration of war on my opinions from a certain keyboard warrior who frequents these parts.

Actually I think this has as much to do with the lens used (DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro) as it does with the camera, but the K-5iis does reward with good quality glass and that lens is a cracker.

Correct David, your local knowledge is spot on! Floor five, room 529!!

Thanks very much for your comments to everyone who has posted so far.

Very nice indeed. Can't make up my mind whether I prefer one or three.

Cheers Mike, much appreciated.

Great light well captured in 1 and 3.

No2 was a good spot, but doesn't quite work for me - out of focus figures too dominant?

Nice shots David

Number 1 is my favourite

Thanks for the observation Steve, you are probably right, just tried something different for this one, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!

Thanks also Stuey.

David
