I must say the quality of the prints you showed last night Barrie was superb. Up against all the Canons and Nikons in our camera club the work from your K3 was outstanding.
I've almost got Irene talked round about the value of the K3- now got to work out what the deal with her will be when I get mine.

Well done Alan, they are fantastic, as good as any I've seen of the Aurora. You must have shot out of the house and up the coast as soon as you heard about this.

Shot from the High Level Bridge I presume? Very nice control of light and colour. One of these days I might get round to doing some night shots along the Newcastle Quayside, its a fantastic location but I'm always there in the daytime.

2 1/2 hours Inverness to Thurso even at a busy time of day. I do that run regularly and often manage it in 2 hrs 15 driving a van at max 50mph. Unless you are including stops for photography
Also I think you should do Scotch Corner - Inverness via Perth and the A9 in quite a bit less than 8 hours.

Arresting images Barrie. Good practise for this year's Goths and the Fringe.

I've no experience whatever with the KR but I have a K30 and the image quality is superb - comparable to that of the Mk1 K5, which I also have. I imagine the IQ is better on the K30 than the KR which is a much earlier model. The K30 also has weather sealing - does the KR? Price wise, I haven't a clue of the difference between the KR and the K30.

Each and every one of these has two fine photographic qualities - character and image quality. An enjoyable set.

Peter I'm sure the National Railway Museum were aware of the interest for enthusiasts in this event but they have to make ends meet and Joe Public turned up in his tens of thousands and that's where most of the cash was raised.
Yes it was Sir Ralph Wedgewood that was destroyed at York during the war. This name was later transferred to another A4 which had been originally named in the bird series.

Our camera club has monthly assignment outings. Among members Canon then Nikon are the most common cameras. Talk over coffee and lunch is usually about the pictures we are getting not who has the latest model. Inter brand rivalry is always good natured and if anyone has something new the interest across the board is genuine. We all show respect for each other's gear, regardless of the name on the front of the camera.
