Nos 3 & 5 for me - love the subtle amount of movement caught. Too long a shutter time on no 3 and the line would have been lost in the blur.

And just up the Wye on the bank near Chepstow is the wreck of the old ferry.

For some reason I haven't tended to look in this particular part of the forum. Just realised been missing seeing some great images! As others have said, some great shots here smeggy, and sharpness where it matters!

That's why I would want one - to butcher as Charlotte suggests. Go for it Charlotte!

Yes - this was on the BBC breakfast prog this morning, too! The Guardian article talks of Mirror readers being patronised. I think its stronger than that - misled, and once the truth is out stands to undermine the actually issue they were trying to address

Actually, I can see that they've been wrongly labelled
The one marked as "sRGB" (the bottom of the two) was ProPhoto. It looks dull because the colour space is wrong.

To prove this I pasted each image into Photoshop as an sRGB image.
Then, the bottom image I used "Edit" / "Assign Profile" and picked ProPhoto. Bingo - now both images look the same.

I thought that; whenever I have forgotten to convert from ProPhoto to sRGB for posting, the photo looks dull

Hi Smeggy

I haven't commented on much of the debate over the sharpness issue with/ without AA filter; however have followed the debate and the banter - with some amusement!

Enjoy the new toy - having gone from K-7 to K-5ii, the af is so much better in low light (and needless to say the IQ is much better as well once the ISO rises!)

I have noticed this and put it down to the fact that using the viewfinder, you use the 77 segment meter, but in live-view it is using a different means of calculating the correct exposure (ie NOT the 77 segment meter) as that is no longer part of the light path. Is that feasible?

(that is in addition to light leak that John has mentioned when set up on a tripod and eye is away from the viewfinder)
