A very nice set of images David, I feel no2 would make a great mono conversion, thanks for sharing.

Both very nice and the second one for me.

Thank you Don and John.

Took this on yesterdays walk around the valley.



Pentax K-30, 100mm Macro, PP in LR5

Tried to place the yellow catkins against the blue patch of sky .

Not really as so much for DNG becoming a universal format, I cannot see anyone but Adobe supporting it now and in the future you will have to go on the cloud to open them when your old adobe software no longer works on the latest operating system!

So much for a universal raw format it seems it was just another way for adobe to tie you into them.

I feel sorry for all those that bought into the Adobe lie of the universal raw format and converted all their native raw file into DNG.

Nice shots John.

David funnily enough I tested the DA L 18-55 when it came with my K-r after which I vowed never to use it again, which I did not.

Then I traded it and the K-r in for the K-30 and twin WR lens kit, I had not used the 18-55 WR since having it thinking it would be just as bad.

This thread made me get it out and do some test shots with it and surprise surprise I would be happy to use this one.

Off course this begs the question especially after these posts. is Pentax's quality control rubbish!

Thank for the kind comments, I managed to get some more shots of them latter on,make hay while the sun shines or in this case while it snows.

Brave man!!

Great set of fall images,it's hard to pick a favourite as they are all so good.
