This isn't at all scientific. I was just wandering around The Cloisters at Durham Cathedral and took pictures of this carved symbol on the wall. I believe it to be a mason's mark less then 10 inches across. The K5 was handheld and no post processing noise reduction or sharpening has been added. I think it demonstrates the amazing performance at high ISO by the K5. The lens was a DA*16-50mm at 50mm.

Lovely subdued colours but like Gareth I would be interested in seeing a mono version. The tiny silhouetted figure makes it for me.
David

Congratulations elscotto. You must be just about the youngest member on PU. You must be very proud JudithAnn.

First classs selection of pictures Andrew, as always. While black and white suits this type of subject very well I must confess some of the colour pictures, particularly the rusty roof against the blue sky, are very harmonious.

Hope this is OK. I uploaded it into The Forum a few days ago when we were discussing the new K5 but this is a different crop which I think works better than the original.

What can I add to the great reaction already shown to these images? They are truly wonderful.

Those cormorants silhouetted against the pond make a wonderful black and white image Mike. Well done.
David

Good comments from Tim and Colin and I would add that its a pity you've chopped off his finger tips. But its a good candid grab shot and I'm sure if you went back he'd be happy to pose again so you could include his Apple logo and fingers.

I recall that the Pentax Spotmatic was THE camera for press photographers late 1960s until well into into the 1970s. Before that they used Rollies and before that old fashioned plate cameras.
Because my photographer colleagues at work had Pentax Spotmatics I had to replace my first SLR, a Zenit E, with one. I got the slightly cheaper version, a Spotmatic 500 as opposed to the Spotmatic 1000. But there was no difference, the 500 still had a 1/1000th second top shutter speed.
