Fanstastic stuff Alan. The shots showing St Mary's Lighthouse must have been on a very long lens - was it the long end of the 500?.

Is this the discussion thread or the entry thread?

A few days I submitted my weekly quota of five and four were accepted. Maybe word's getting round that if everyone spends a bit more time voting the list will wizz through.

Frosty slates and particularly the oak leaf with rain drops are my favourites but they are all excellent. Must be a great little lens.
David

I submitted five a week ago. They have all just got accepted.
In the meantime I've been doing a lot of voting, perhaps there is a link between getting accepted and how much work you do with the voting finger.

Happy Christmas to you and your family as well Ken. Glad that's a red robin, not a grey.

At least the fish were underwater.

Underwater photography with a K5 - or at least the fish were underwater. Just had a session playing around with my son's tropical fish tank with a bunch of posing discus fish. K5 and a DA*16-50mm lens pressed hard against the glass. Three of these were at ISO 2000 but #3 was ISO 2500. These are quite big blow ups.

Congratulations on a super image. Very well done.

I don't think real photographers give a damn about what camera was used to get a fine photo. They are more interested in the image than the equipment.

As always your aerial shots are stunning. In the first pair I must admit I prefer the colour version but the IR shots of the Padma river estuary are quite sensational. Love the pictures of the Turkish mountains too.
I think its been suggested previously that you have material there for an excellent book. A Blurb would be good but you have material for a really high quality coffee table book.

Its a fine example of low key photography Shaun and a worthy winner. I'm sure the win meant far more to you than the prize.
