Really striking images, i'll try something similar next time i have the opportunity. Cheers.

Sublime, David. I particularly liked this image when you posted it recently. Congrats
and well deserved.

Fabulous display of excellence there David...love them. I do like the nautical themes in 1 and 2. That girl on the steps looks like she had a stalker following her!

I find landscapes to be very subjective. Four people viewing a landscape could come out with four different opinions on it. Unless you are looking to sell them then whatever works for you is 'right'.

Having said that, I much prefer your first shot to your second as i think the end of the building in No.2 is a bit too much 'in yer face' and the rest of the image doesn't really have much to compensate with. I also like 'cut-off' buildings and things to the side of the scene...they don't have to be complete for me although i know many people would disagree.

I suppose ultimately its down to what interests you and lots of practice..which you can do with digital!

Some brilliant shots there Andrew. Nice to see the Viggen making a return to UK airshows...haven't seen one for years...always used to be the loudest of all the fighters on take off.

Really strong images with great colours. Last one is my favourite.

What is the depreciation like on new lenses though these days. One reads of so many
anecdotes (admitedly taken at face value) where the seller claims to have sold at virtually no loss or even in some cases made a small profit. Lenses don't seem to behave like cars which automatically drop in value the moment you drive it off the forecourt.

What are they charging for this service though? I would have thought in most cases it would be more expensive than selling your lens and then purchasing another in your new mount?

I'd be really impressed though with a lens that could fit say two different manufacturers bodies say Pentax and Canon, Nikon and Sony or whatever...or even better a body that could take lenses from more than one manufacturer without requiring an adaptor. There's room in the market for a new camera body manufacturer with this as their USP.

Roscoe,

You can't focus, zoom in or change important in camera parameters with a shutter release or cable release!

Hi all,

have just seen an ad for CamRanger on sister site ePhotozine a few minutes ago. Basically its a remote control app with a wireless range of up to 150' allowing all sorts of creative possibilites. Only advertised as compatible with Canikon though. Other similar products seem to be bypassing Pentax also. I just wondered whether the most recent DSLRs are capable of using this technology, speculating that their new soon to be released K3 or whatever must have this capability and a usable software option from the start or I fear that this omission will leave Pentax uncompetitive.

My next camera will probably be a K30 (upgrading from a Kx). If it wasn't WR then I wouldn't buy one as I don't see the point in buying a camera that i couldn't use for half the year outside in this country. In a similar vein though, the next most important feature to me is/would be remote control of camera as described above. I will expect this feature in even the most basic £400+ model.

What do other people think? Is this vital 'must have' technology or am i in a small unimportant minority. By 'must have ' technology it could be read as
either from a user point of view and from a Pentax survival point of view.
