Really like the finished image...far superior I think to what you started with and easily worth the effort.
Isn't 'Digital' great?

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum.
Loads of images here from many different genres and interests.
What are your particular interests, have you got a pentax model in mind and what might your budget be?
People will be pleased to offer advice.

I agree with the suggestion to crop it to a letterbox format. When scrolling down the page the image purely by accident ended up displayed with the bottom 20-25% missing ...ended up about 16:10 ratio which I really liked. The structure then becomes much more dominant and the whole composition looks better balanced in my opinion. Definitely worth persevering though.

Cheers for that John...wondered what had happened and not being on social media you soon get left behind.
Good image and SRS must have been chuffed to get a personal visit from the boss...congratulations to the winner and thanks SRS.

Brilliant those Derek and second the comment about the colours. There's some great detail captured as well.
The wing structure looks as though its composed of balsa and dope like you'd find in a model plane kit.
Hope you get the opportunity for some more similar shots.

Not sure if i'm imagining it, but i think I read somewhere that Pentax are bringing out a FF convertor later this year...there might have been mention of two new convertors.

Nice shots David...enjoyed scrolling through them.
Particularly like No.1 but they are all good.

The sighting was from May last year and the time was about 19.30-20.00...i've just dug out the SD card with the images on. On a single image I managed to capture what I believe are three of these objects...two in space and one against the Moon surface...the last one i didn't notice at the time it was only when examining the images enlarged that i noticed it. Problem is they are very small and don't display well on this sites restricted sizing. If anyone is interested i would be willing to post on the 'other' site where i could post at about 1400-1500 pix size? I can display shots a few minutes before and after so that you can see that these aren't marks on the sensor. Enlarged to 150% on my Serif software there are what look like three glowing spots on two of the disks...i'll try and include those as well.
Sorry for appearing to 'hijack' the thread...wasn't my original intention.
Would love to see the images, not to ridicule or doubt - what you saw is what you saw, I think they'll be fascinating, and I appreciate the quality won't be top notch at those distances i noticed three bright disk like craft ...two in loose formation tens of miles (i'm guessing ) apart which travelled slightly diagonally across the face of the moon in a matter of seconds then out into space...the third appeared to be larger and was moving slowly around one or two craters edges above the surface in a slightly erratic pattern which meant it couldn't have beena satellite or anything 'orbital'.....

As you are new here, might be worth uploading a few images from either your film days (scanned) or with your K7 just to give people the opportunity to interract with your online presence for a week or two. With a few posts behind you and hopefully some chitchat/banter then might be a good time to tell people what you are thinking of selling...getting a feel for any potential interest. Then most people would take some shots of the items they wanted to sell and post them in the Classifieds section of the forum together with a brief description of condition, be honest about any defects or problems, indicate why you want to sell them and price them (indicating whether price includes postage or not)...offers generally would come in via the personal messaging service then which is discreet allowing you to communicate with potential buyers. Once you've agreed a sale or received payment most people would post this under the online ad so other members would know the current status of the sale.
Hope this helps.

Karlo
