Thanks, it was a bit of both. I was attracted to the woman feeding
the horse first and then heard a train coming so waited until it
entered the frame. I tried to include the cars which were
actually crawling towards the traffic lights. I was surprised
how much detail was in the corner where most lenses are usually
a bit soft..... This one is a bit soft at 24mm but at 50mm it's well up
to prime standards. I used to use this lens a lot on an SFXn

The building on the right is actually a car auction.

The original looks a lot better because you can see
the horses.

Haven't you set "AUTOMATICALLY EJECT SD CARD WHEN DOOR OPEN"
in the Custom Menu

The pylon shots quite nice and unusual.
I agree with Pentaxophile about the horse
which will be a very nice shot with the right
bit of PP.

the card to door gap is ridiculous.
Since the selotape solution, no issue
I hope that's not ordinary sellotape
It eventually goes soft oozes and gets everywhere

Magic Tape is much better also put the tape
on both sides.

I used to use Electricians Insulation Tape on
SRAM Cards in a Pocket PC...... OK for probably
30 years.

I have no problems with the K-5 giving it a quick push
in and then removing my finger out of the way fast.

Do you ever burn yourself pulling a piece of
toast out of a toaster!

Cropped this straight from the corner of the JPG file.
I haven't looked at the DNG to see if it's any sharper.

At least they haven't asked us to sweep the street
after the bin persons (mostly (...in fact all) men)
have been..... YET!
