Nice set, number 8 is my favourite, great abstract lines and I love the two water splash rings. Was this photoshopped or as shot? Either way I really like it. I also really like numbers 3 and 9.

Nice sky and I like the windmills but I agree with Iqbal about the huge expanse of black at the bottom. I think it would have been better taken closer to the waters edge.

Interesting stuff, and I really like the last shot. It's a shame there's not someone looking at the camera from the cab.

Nothing mediocre about these! I really like the first two, and the last one's not bad either! At first the (burnt-out?) white of the steps put me off the first one, but I actually like it after looking again.

I just had to find out what the red and yellow sign in Ovids Square meant: "Danger of detachment of pieces of masonry or cornice."

Great set of pictures, agree about the title of the set though. Maybe "Dual" or "Brace" would be more appropiate.

Nice work nonetheless!!

Gosh it's all getting very scientific!

I like the idea of the Metz 50, especially if it will cover 10mm on the K7. With the flash used straight on, will there be any problem of the shadow of the lens appearing in the frame, as it does with the onboard flash at 10mm? Also, surely you can get round the problem of the diffuser reducing the power of the flash by using ev compensation?

I'm in Washington at the moment, so tomorrow will go and see if I can find the flash and diffuser.

Thanks for the info, I am a complete novice with flash, even though years ago I had a dedicated one for a Ricoh KR10 which was fun.

Rgds,
Jon.

Thanks for that, looks like a Metz 50 and a Sto-fen omnibounce might be the way to go

I need to get a flash for my first ever commissioned work, and I want one that can get to 10mm. It seems 18mm is the limit as advertised for all the flashes I have looked at (Metz, Pentax, Sigma) but does anyone know of any flash or attachment for a flash that will work with a Sigma 10-20? Or failing that, some advice on using slaves to get full coverage of both internal (complete coverage up to 10 meters or so) and external (fill-in} shots at 10mm?

Rgds,
Jon
