how old is this flash?

looks pretty sharp and stunning to me Scott, very impressed

)) Mike, this is great, finally I can see what a baby spider looks like
stunning images,

Paul, looks great, I love the the reflection and its just as Martin said, almost surrealistic. Very nice

Terry are you leaving us?

Scott, these images look sharp to me.

You got to give it a bit of time, I notice those birds you put up again on the thread shot with your previous lens are definitely extremely sharp, but light of the day, distance, circumstances might not have been the same, and a few more tries and you might find that its really very very shharp. You might even have to tinker a bit with pp, but from what I know this lens is one of the best in that range compared to the others in the group.

Having said that, I find the images you shot with your new lens pretty shapr. I would have been chuffed and over the moon with them. I do see that the colours are not as saturated as your previous images so may be you just need to work a little on the pp, but as for sharpness I think they are spot on, apart from the second image but that I think you missed on the focus

Carlos, you can post links yes, we are always eager to see nice images.
Ahhh, and you mention fado, Bairro Alto, Mouraria, etc, fantastic places to go soak the sun and enjoy a cold drink while nibbling on a pastel de bacalhau and then have the fantastic Bica to wash it all down .

Lovely images in the link, just briefly saw a few, going to explore some more now.

Keep showing us those lovely sites and the blue skies we get there Carlos. We have some lucky members here who are previledged to be living in the sunny Spain and they do upload some stunning scenes of the sorroundings .

Nice places around Cascais , seafront, casinos, and posh mansions around . And I know the towns around Cascais too, have friends around there . Also my brother was the GM at the Hard Rock Cafe there in Lisbon when they opened it a few years ago and recently he was then transferred to Prague.

Got to pay another visit to the good old Lisbon, miss the pasteis the nata from Belem and the seafood that we get from the restaurants all around the coast there . May be this time come with my K20 and take some shots too

Hi Carlos, welcome and nice to have a portuguese join us. I think you must be the first portuguese in our forum if I am not mistaken.
What area of Lisbon are you from? I know the city reasonably well.

Its nice to have you join us

We are a nice bunch here and people are pretty friendly and helpful.

Regards

Amin
