Mike, you are one heck of a lucky guy, being able to probably be the only guy capturing the flying plane, and on top of it all you did it with your bigma handheld. You make these shots look so easy to take but we all know the skill involved so hats off to you.

If you can do this with the limitations of the K10 I can only imagine what you could come up with a K7 in your hands. Hmm hang on, I think with your ability it wouldn't matter what you are shooting with, be it a a cranky old K10, K7 or even a D** or C***N you will always come up with shots like this

One and three for me look great, although I do like the second one too, but definitely the colour version tops up. The vignetting spoils it a little but the image looks really great

Karl, its not Penice but Peniche.
To a person who speaks portuguese that "h" missing in the name turns the term into a very odd sounding name, particularly because the "h" after any "c" in portuguese its pronounced "sh" and without it changes dramatically the pronunciation.

Peniche is a beautiful place in Portugal and people are very proud of how it is pronounced, there is quite an emphasis on the "ch" in the way the name is pronounced, used as "sh"

Well, I can't see the EXIF so not sure if the settings were exactly the same under precisely the same conditions, but at first glance it seems the K7 shot is a bit soft. The K20 one seems sharper. But that could be due to a host of reasons, its hard to compare shots like this as Mark pointed out.

If you want to make a direct comparison you have to mount the bodies on a tripod and use precisely the same settings under the same exact lighting conditions.
Hope this helps

You see everyone? , Sorry I have to use the words "Told you so" .

Told you also that Watford branch seems to be flourishing but I noticed also that its always packed to the seams, Chris these extra stock will need some extra room, I sense some big changes around , yupiii, if it happens do not forget we want a nice studio area for trying our kits and a nice comfy couch with cold drinks handy. I will provide the cooler if needed be

I am sure there must be some other good news to come from SRS to counter balance the sad news of the Rayners Lane branch closure.

The Watford branch is flourishing and business seems great from what I have seen and I am sure Chris must have something in the pipeline planned for the Watford branch I would assume.

Every time I have been to the Watford shop it is packed with customers. I wonder if the closure of the Rayner's Lane shop would mean that may be Chris is planning to expand the Watford shop or may even be opening a branch in a different location with bigger premises and some extra photography facilities . A studio within the shop would be nice to try lenses and various kits . What do other members think about the idea?

Hi

Sorry the GX20 bodies are not available anymore.

Only the Samsung 12-24mm are still available if anyone interested.

Thanks

Amin

I have two new Samsung GX20 for sale including the kit lens.
One of them is an ex display model but still brand new. Price for this £300 plus postage costs.

The other one still boxed selling for £400 plus postage costs.

Samsung 12-24mm lenses, brand new and still boxed available individually or if preferred with the GX20 body. Lens only £400 plus PP, or with either of the bodies, PM and we can work out the prices.

Thanks

Amin

I actaully like all of the images, but the ones that really stand out for me is the B&W and the chains.
The first one also looks like with a bit more thought probably you would have managed something more exciting, but I sincerely have no idea how . All I know is that looks to have more potential, and RR's suggestion seems right as he seems to have already formed the process of thought for the end result.

I am in the Jennifer's corner here, still . I like the first one and in your shoes Jack I too would want to make the grand daughter happy and turn an occasional portrait of hers like this, just the way she would dictate. I know what you mean Jack .

Besides, I really love the glow and smoothening general effect that overall the picture gives. It does make a very nice poster image for the wall in your living room Jack
