The quality of these is wonderful.

I put the Jupiter 21M onto my K5 to see what it would do.




It's one heck of a performer.

Super shots and a great advert for the lens.

I took the liberty of editing your image slightly .....




Fantastic shot, by the way!

Both problems above solved at once with Faststone Image Viewer. It's a first class editor minus the hooters, bells and whistles that complicate the posh editors. And it's free. The add text option gives fully editable any colour, font, size or opacity and the noise reducing facility is quite stunning. I don't use anything else. I can't see the point.

I have loaded one or two random shots copied from these pages and queried them with P.I.E. and Photome. These programs are designed to go through the metadata attached to images with a fine toothcomb but I have not been able to find ANY copyright data transferred over with them. The usual mountain of technical stuff was indeed present. Similar interrogations with my own images on my own drive show full copyright and artistic rights to them. (Needless to say, since they are not mine, I have now deleted the downloaded files).
Have we uncovered a problem with the site here? If what I am finding is correct then NONE of our uploaded images contain any sort of copyright at all - never mind the (rather elderly case of) attribution that got added to Niklas's image. On the other hand, I am no coding geek so I might have got it wrong? Can some of you other learned guys have a go and see what you get?

The vole is ten times the value of a woodpecker to my mind. You got your time's worth just with that one shot (the others are pretty good too!).

Some very nice patterns came out of that. Messing about time well spent!

To be presented with that opportunity is rare; to be able to capture an image that completely fulfills it is even more rare as it passes so quickly.

How many people will actually use all those gizmos and whizz bangs?
