A really gritty and well captured set. I particularly like 5 and 14. Were you clocked taking 14?

If he was they probably thought they were having a visit from the Junk Food Inspector!

Be very careful listening to the Archers.... someone was on the
other days and they had been listening to the Archers in England
and the house was struck by Lightening...... A year later they were
in France listening to the Archers and that house was also
struck by Lightening

It was on a radio program talking about Bransons house.

A Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm f/2.8 - 3.8 went for £27 yesterday.
A lens that used to receive rave reviews. I bought mine from new
yonks ago. I've also got the Kiron version.

When you consider what 28-70mm f/2.8's go for £27 is ridiculous.
The lens won't be far off f/2.8 at 70mm and still has another
35mm left to go.

What I was trying to say was, that we have at our disposal cameras that can be set pretty accurately to allow for most situations that's what I mean when I say we have "no excuse".

We are very good at coming up with excuses!
Plus we are incompetent as well!

They can be excused, they didn't have the sophisticated equipment we have.

Why should they be excused?...... unless of course you think it was wrong and were around in the mid 1800's

Retouching the eyes is as old as photography its self
Early glass plates were so slow that long exposures were unavoidable
during which time the subject would have blinked or moved their eyes.

Some nice captures there
I remember when the F1 cars used to race at Oulton Park in the
days of Emerson Fitipaldi etc.

Compensation will vary from lens to lens. Older M and A lenses
especially non Pentax vary the most. It's probably due to light
transmission and the digital sensor. The aperture will
make a difference as well. Generally constant from
f/5.6 to f/16.
