There's also a derelict Engine House from a Tim Mine close to the car park to Cheese Rings, just remembered.

The Rocks themselves, and there's many are a reasonable walk from the car park, prob a good 30 mins.

Superbly done, #2's excellent, I use a K5iis and found back button focussing works a treat, only tried it last year and my hit rate got 75% better, i.e keep your thumb on the AF button on the back of the camera whilst also your trigger finger on the shutter button.

Takes a little getting used to but may improve your hit rate.

I don't have Silkypix, but is it not a case of opening the DNG then " Save As " ?

The software would be the better option than the in camera facility your currently using.

Personally I wouldn't worry about calibrating your screen, adjust the image so it looks correct to the eye and how you remember the scene when you took the image.

The landscape before you edited the image looks to be about right, but you can recover the shadows without increasing the saturation toooo much, the landscape format with the gate and the shadow again looks about right without enhancing the greens and cyans.

You've got some good images there, May I suggest though, the saturation on my monitor looks a tad overcooked on all the shots,

Have a look at your setting Auro Todd and I'm happy to stand corrected if other PU users don't agree.

The mono one is cracking, it just needs the church wall being made vertical, but you may lose the cross on the top in doing so, unless you've cropped it from the original

It should be able to be switched off, I've done it on my K5"s , think the K7 as well and u can do it on the Z.

That's a Lot, I ordered a lens from the USA last year, value £350 ish, paid £60 in fees and duty, well worth it as I'd saved £500 on the lens anyway.

If I've understood your Q as above, when looking throu Live View your seeing the image your about to shoot, if the image you've then shot is blank, or possibly an under-exposed image ( Black ) its easy to think the screen is blank.

Just to test, set an exposure of 15 seconds or more, if you then get anything from a correctly exposed image to something drastically over-exposed, just refine you shutter speed / aperture combination.

Hope this helps
