And the most dramatic so far!
Stunning image.

I do indeed, Mat.The last one being my favourite.
How did you achieve the look of these images?
I find the tonal range v. interesting. There seems to be a big jump between the highlights, which are really sparky, & the darker tones. The "upper/middle" greys seem to be missing(?). The slight colour temperature difference is interesting, too.
Am I missing the point. Or what's going on here?
Roger.
P.S.
Hang on, is this ring flash?

Saw the other one first, but my comments apply to this image as well!
Lovely. Well taken.
(Sorry, but don't like the border.Let the beauty of the flower & your excellent work work their own wonder!)

No.3 for me!
Really crisp, great location / context, & I like it when the shape of the subject is slightly "cut", as with the blade of grass here.
Grand image,
Thanks for letting us see.

Thanks for your comments, Kris.
I like the shot because the top yellows merge into the light b/g.
My RAF was, from what I remember, a not-expensive purchase about 10-12 years ago & was resurrected from the drawer for a play this afternoon. It's not a Pentax one (no markings at all) & laterally reverses images in the viewfinder.
I don't think the focus prob. is down to the finder per se, rather it was a case of a breath misting it up & my pressing-on without letting it clear!
I'll try again because, as I said, I think it opens up a new perspective on subjects.
Thanks again,
Roger.

Your lack of any further comment/apology (for getting my name incorrect) is notable by its absence, pentax expert.
In this, previous & other, current, threads you have, unlike anyone else in the months I have been pleased to be a member here, managed to cause me offense & frustration to the extent that I now consider any further comments or contact between us not welcome.
I have learnt much from the folks here & I hope I have contributed, in some small way, to the ambiance of this lovely place.
I find your, apparent, lack of any humility in your dealings with all here quite impossible to deal with.
I wish you all good fortune for your future.
Goodbye.

It was in the former owners' charge for about 30 years, the buiding being about 300 years old.
Took some time off to take these.

1. Door furniture detail. Can it take much more paint?
