The best kind of weather for photography! Great shots with those varied skies.

Thanks for your comments. In common with all screen viewers it's difficult to see what your taking in bright light. What about a viewfinder on the hotshoe? Any of you guys got one? I was looking at a Youtube video where the presenter made one from a single-use camera, it worked for him, but is it any good without a dioptre adjustment for differing eyesights?

I've just bought a GR3X as a pocketable companion to my K-70. So far we're getting on fine and I thought I'd share our first day out! All shot in RAW and PP in LR Classic.

2 The Motte - or Moat - which has a Camera Obscura inside. It's a 19th century gunpowder store on a 12th century moat.

Agreed, great picture, my favourites probably 3 and 5, but that could change tomorrow depending on my mood!
Whilst 8 and 9 show the same scene, they are different pictures conveying different messages - if that makes sense! I'm wondering if we are too much hooked onto 'leading the eye' these days? I'm thinking of old paintings from the Middle Ages in which every part has details to look at and study. In no. 9 there many parts with details to see - the heather, water, trees, hillside, countryside behind and sky etc. I can spend more time on 9 than 8, yet 8 must be the better composition.

A great picture. I'm happy with the foreground rocks - to me they give a foreground lead-in.

I've rarely used this lens and is in excellent condition as far as I can see. Manual aperture and focus, Pentax fit (of course!). Advertises itself for "video DSLR camera" but will take stills of course.
£170 ono. UK/Ireland, bank transfer please

The lights from No 2 with everything else from No 1, please! I rather like the darkier, moodier feel of the first.

Agreed.
