Thank you all for your comments.
@Gareth, those are my favourites as well and the first and last one compete in the competition here.
Won first place with the last shot in the fortynight.
@Andrew, welcome back. Did you had a nice vacation and did you had a lot of troubles with the aircrafts not flying?
Thank you for the kind words. The first two were shot on the market and aimed to do portraits there but at the port of Antwerp we got more time to look for shots so that's why it gets so varied.
The railroad shot #5 was more an experiment then anything else, wanted to try out the new HDR capabilities of the software, in Cs4 you can't get this effect so easily but now all can be done in the HDR menu which is very nice.
@Mat, thank you very much i'm glad you felt a nostalgic feel to them it was the feeling I want to get into them... hopefully I can make it into a signature.
@i-Berg, that was one of the better shots I made. I saw the man and than realize I could form a boarder with the rest of the people standing there, I only took one shot since I knew I had the shot. I'm very happy that I made such a shot in such manner. Most of the treatment is done in Lightroom 3, only played with the contrast in CS4.

It's all replacement stuff, they don't partially update the firmware but replace it fully.It might also be that the 7.1 mb contains at least some replacement 'stuff', rather than 'all new' material?

It's actually quite handy, you can still edit your send PM now until he opens it and when he has opened it you know he has done that.

For the K-X I would go for ISO200, if you see it needs to work hard you can up it to ISO400 that way the recharge time would be halved.
This the thread where Matt explains your problem but then for the K-7 but it's just as useful for the K-X

This has nothing to do with your problem but I also have a stofen but I found I get better photos with less shadows when I bounce the flash from the ceiling without the stofen, you could try that and see if you like.
I never use the Stofen now... maybe I should sell it.

Well that's your answer, I believe the K-7 had the same problem. I can't find the topic anymore...
If you used a fixed ISO things should go better, I think Matt had a solution though.

Very good shot, a bit dull like you said but nothing bad besides that.

Went on a trip with the photo-club to Antwerp and this are some shot.

All shots went through LR3b2 and then through CS4 or through a pre-release of a newer program. The HDR #5 and the photo with the HDR effect #3 are the product of that.
ps. I really should try to keep the size of my photos equal
