Lovely set I-Berg, #3 is my favourite too. I like Doc Mhuni's idea about cropping the top of the strap. Pity we couldn't catch up today, though had a good wander round Melbourne with a colleague from work (a Nikon user )

I agree

Excellent set David! 2and 3 are my favourites, 3 especially so. It could perhaps do with a sliver off the left hand side to get it completely symmetrical. Great sense of scale in the first one. I have never been to Bath iy looks like a beautiful city!

Couldn't have put it better myself

Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6
Sigma 24mm f2.8 Super-Wide II
Sigma 18-250
Tamron 90mm
Pentax-A smc 50mm f1.4

Great shot, look forward to seeing the re-toned version..

Great set, I really like reflections, and these are excellent, with 1, 3 and 5 being my favourites, especially #5. I like 4 too, especially the way the guy with the headset appears to be smiling down at the family, but the mirrored writing looks a bit odd to me. I might be tempted to flip it so the writing is the right way round, but then the writing at the bottom would be mirrored.... I suppose that could then be flipped....but I'm waffling...

Thanks for the comments, and the tips on how to get the best out of the camera. I am looking forward to getting out with the new toy again asap! What surprised me was the picture here I took at 1600 ISO lost more detail than I expected when I reduced the noise. However that could be caused by something else. I haven't had a chance to put the K5 through its paces properly yet, so need to get more pictures to see its full potential. I have no regrets at all about getting it, I was amazed how little noise there was at 800 ISO, and have been very impressed with a lot of the pictures I have seen on here. I am especially looking forward to trying it out at work, where being able to use a significantly higher ISO than with my K7 will be very useful.

Thanks Tim, that's put my mind at rest a bit, I was starting to wonder what all the fuss was about! Still only taken 20 shots with it, so I will experiment a bit more when I get time. It's nice it's so much like the K7 in menus etc. so no learning involved apart from how to get the best out of it!

Well caught! An iconic machine, unmistakable silhouette, and it works well in mono. I agree about the crop.
