What a great set, I really enjoyed these. Arlington Row, Broadway Tower and the mariner's chapel at Gloucester Docks are all subjects I've also photographed at various times. The stand out one for me is the IR colour shot of St Cyrs Church. I never realised how beautiful colour IR can be as I've always imagined it as a mono treatment.

Yes Joe, Cotswold Window is Broadway. I've shot pictures through that same window on previous occasions, its in the Lygon Arms but I can't guarantee the same view each time.
I didn't realise north Cotswold stone was a different shade to that in the south of the region.
Many thanks for the comments folks, much appreciated.

Dariusz, Your Welsh Highland Railway scene looks like the same location as mine, the Aberglaslyn Pass, which is near to Beddgelert.

What an excellent set. I particularly like the North Wales mountain scenes in winter, the contours of the Fellside photo and the Samarian mountain gorge.A really good selection Tim.

At this time its become a custom to select around a dozen of your favourite pictures of the previous year, month by month. Because I lost almost three months of photography from the beginning of September due to my wife becoming ill and requiring a serious operation I have instead selected some favourites from random times of the year in 2016. They are presented in roughly chronological order.
The images include Flying Scotsman's first mainline revenue earning run after its lengthy multi million pound restoration, events such as the Edinburgh Fringe, Durham's annual Streets of Brass Festival, a World War 2 veteran with a remarkable life story, a three day visit to North wales to photograph narrow gauge railways and a holiday in Somerset.

Keen observation and good photography, that's what this hobby is all about. Happy 2019.

Well worth the effort Ted.

It already has Nigel; here's a couple I took with the K3 and D FA* 70-200mm lens at York Station when two Christmas White Rose charter trains, one from Birmingham, the other London, pulled by Castle and Duchess class steam locomotives visited on December 10.
Thanks for the comments folks, much appreciated.

The 60-250 would indeed have been a very good alternative choice but I'm sure it's still quite a hefty piece of kit. The 70-200 is heavy but, depending on what I'm shooting, it can free me up to go out with just one camera body and lens whereas previously with the DA* fixed focal length 200 I always carried another camera, the K5 or K30 with me plus a shorter zoom. So I'm quite used to carrying a lot of weight around
Then the max aperture of the 60-250 is 4.5 opposed to 2.8 on the 70-200..
And if I ever go for a full frame Pentax then the D FA* will be more suitable.

No JAK, I don't have a K1 but although the lens is designed for full frame it works well enough on my crop sensor cameras, the 200 giving me 300mm.
