One slight niggle - number 4 has a slight blue cast, which makes it look a bit colder than maybe it should.

Just my opinion, of course.
I can't detect a cast personally (not saying there isn't mind you).
Both 4 and 5 were shot using the same soft grad filter.

Thanks all.
I suppose it's possible my laptop is playing up (*&£%$ Windows 10!), but running it through Elements and using the Remove Cast tool (hope you don't mind) gives this:

Which does look a bit less chilly to me. Well, on this old laptop...

Unless the forum software is doing something funny when we upload images.

The problem with calling it the K-1 is that is opens the way for a specific limited edition model...

If you lived around here you wouldn't need to wait - the firework season started a week ago and will probably end in early January!

Two towels?

Typical of these rich people coming here, making pictures with expensive equipment us commoners can't afford!

Nice pictures though. Might be interesting to try the technique with a patterned towel...

I think I see where you are coming from. You are concentrating on the leaves whereas I am concentrating on the lack of leaves, the fact that they are disappearing for the year. Of course, I could be talking rubbish and maligning you all, in which case, my apologies.

How about this one, does it get the message across better?

A lot more post processing, mind you.

I get what you mean, but I think that way the leaves would be more evenly spread whereas the way it is now you get a sort of thinning out of the leaves as you move up, until there are none. If you see what I mean.

A couple of shots from my living room window. Both with the K-S1/50-200 lens.

I suppose, artistically, they re a bit meh, but the almost monochrome black/blue background with the sparse splashes of yellow/brown engenders a mild melancholy for the death of this last summer. Or is that just me?

My first was a Diana-F kit. Cost less than a quid, including flash, bulbs and batteries. I think they go for £30 or more these days.

This was followed by a number of Boots cameras, which were pretty good,

First slr was a Zenit 3m, made from recyled tank parts, from the feel of it. After a number of Cosina K-mount slrs, I finally managed to afford an MX.

Mind you, they do illustrate the review with a silly-coloured model - the all white one.
Hey! My wife don't take kindly to them words, pard.

The one in the review was completely white apart from a bit of greyish-biege leathery bits and the front of the lens where the hood fits.
