Terrific. You are a master ambassador for the K3 and Pentax lenses. If all your 70+ photos from this year-long project are as good as these then you have a fantastic collection for an exhibition.

Very nice set Alan, I do love looking at puffin pictures, they are such a charming species. As a non-natural history photographer I can only admire the work of those who are good at it - among whom you rank very highly in my opinion.
As for when to turn off the SR; I'm told to do so when using a tripod ( an extremely rare occurrence for me, currently I don't even own one) but I've never done this when panning. Panning is always a bit hit or miss in action photography so my efforts have had mixed success. I've panned trains moving at high speed and a couple of sports such as Durham Regatta and cycle racing. You'd be amazed how fast the rowers go and panning is definitely one way of covering this sport. I think my best efforts have been when photographing cycle racing.

It takes a 'local' with intimate knowledge to identify and photograph scenes such as these, a far cry from the touristy shots. Well done and thanks for sharing this alternative view of a fascinating city.

I don't think you made a hash of the uploading, the way they seem to morph one into the next is very appealing. I like them all too but #2 is my fave.

Inspirational. I've been planning to try some IR photography for ages, now I really must get my finger out.

Heavens, what hard work but well worth the result. I reckon it'll make a great projection room for you to view your excellent photos really big.

The last one for me too, Its a good clear image with no distraction to the subject whatsoever, not even attractive bokeh.

What a fun project, well done you for photographing them. The reclining monk looks like he drunk a little too much ale.
Each of the barons has a furtive, almost guilty look, perhaps they were regretting forcing King John to sign the Magna Carta.
I can imagine that after a boisterous night out in the pubs of Salisbury at least one of the Barons is likely to end up in the river. Retribution for Runnymede perhaps?

These really are very good Bill. The vivid colour and mysterious but recognisable shapes, are very impressionistic and a delight to view. One of my favourites among them is #1 but do you think the dark pole shape - a tree trunk perhaps - right of centre is a little intrusive? The darker coloured trunk to its right doesn't have the same effect of dividing the picture. I think the 'pole' might be cloned out without damaging the image.
Just a thought.
