Ouch. Thanks John, at least I know what to look for now and an idea of what price it could be.

I don't know if this is the correct forum for this, if not can a mod move it, thanks

I'm after lens hoods for 2 lenses. The F 50mm f1.7 and the F 28mm f 2. 8 if they exist. If anyone knows where to purchase them or the proper model Name that would be great.

Thanks.

Marvellous set of photos - blow the focus - you recorded it !

I can only offer the obvious territorial dispute, especially as she turns up with nest material. The closest I've seen is females having a set to over possession of my compost heap !
Cheers. I think you are correct on the territorial aspect. She was in gathering bits for nesting a couple of times, I guess this time he just happened to be around.
I've seen two males running and displaying a couple of weeks ago, I don't know if that was territorial or for the benefit of a female. Must keep a closer eye out.
You may set up watch on your compost heap

I spotted these two on the shed roof. The female landed first and as i was trying to focus the male arrived, I just started shooting any way. I know the focus is off im just curious about the aggressive males behavior. He was really giving it socks, and chased the female across a couple of gardens.

I often think that i should visit Dublin too, in a touristy type of way. See the sights that its kind of known for. I was lucky in a way, that theses shots were all along the Quays (the Liffey) and all quite close together.

Good job braving the elements that night, and you did well just to keep the water off the lens. The mono images work best for the ship because the colour casts don't really work with the subject I feel. I love the colourful climbing ring things in colour though, very effective.
Thanks Nigel, i presume the casts came about from long exposures with so many varied neon and other light sources, I probably should have colour balanced them. Something to keep in mind in the future.

Thanks again

It's no better here in Ireland either. There seems to be only one shop carrying pentax stock. And they have a k 30 a k5ii and a K5iis that's it. The K5iis is listed at €1049.99. Ìm lucky we're so close to the UK, and a couple of classified adverts sites. But no chance to get your hands on to try out new stuff.
