Wow something we agree on, that doesn't happen often

My first comment was not aimed at the government directly but by all the rules and other things you've in England to protect children and yourself against very bad people... like photographers and teachers it seems
Here in the Netherlands at least it's quite a bit simpler to go around as a photographer and do your thing and to work with children (depending how off course).

Well so at the end of the year we know what the new things are.

Two new camera's
K-5
K-r

Two new lenses.
DA-l 35mm
DA 18-135mm WR

Lets see who got the most right...

Graham came very close he had at least the camera's right and the lion battery for the K-r so that's quite impressive. Wished they also had put in WR in the K-r though.
No body guessed the lenses which is not really surprising.
Although we had some discussion that good cheap prime lenses might be interesting, wished they made it a DA instead of a DAL but once again you can't have everything

And we are still waiting for the 1.4x tc
At least one shop here was so optimistic to put it in their sales list though

Who knows... maybe next year with WR.

Wasn't it already going bad before the new government?

Bummer
What a wonderful country you live in *sighs*

You can't use a wired remote though since the socket is missing but you can use an
infrared remote.

It's weekend now so don't forget to vote

I like the experiment with your first photo but the glitter in the water ask so much attention that it doesn't work for me

Now that the bad thing is said all your other shots are great.
Love the two in the water, the angled horizon with the kitesurfer and the dof with the kid walking.
As for the two portraits... those people look quite weird

But needing is something else than wanting

It's quote easy to see with the review shots.

FA35 at f/2.0 = 1/4"
DAL35 at f/2.4 = 1/2.5"
FA35 at f/2.5 = 1/2.5"

So problem solved, f/2.4 on the DAL is really f/2.4

I use a system based on date. Most of the time i know the day a photo is taken so i can most of the time find it.

With lightroom i should definitely need to use small description for my photos to make them easier to sort and find if i need a particular photo.
It's getting too many of them to know out of my head now

At least i got a good thing to change about me in 2011
