Fancy rigging

St-Malo harbour. Pirate ship built for one of the (Depp?) films, in Turkey, in four months.

Beautiful

nice work

Good one, Grodgeman! Tell us more about the lens you used for this one, please.

Hello. Here, one of the (I have the impression) unjustly underrated basic DA series, the 18-135 that came with the K-70. What, however, seems always to have to be done with a new Pentax body is to go to P + info and push the default contrast and sharpness settings to the limit. The defaults seem rather softish. I find the 18-270 also very very good. For post-processing I mostly use Aurora HDR and the 'Sleepy forest' preset and, even after that, sharpen up more using Photos (the MacOS basic imaging app). Cheers.

Thanks, mate. Most often, I too have to adjust contrast and sharpness in PP for kit lens products. I have found that if you try to use these less expensive lenses at their sweet spots (as published in lens reviews), they can create some excellent images in favourable circumstances.
