Hmmm?? Mine was sold as T ring adapter.
The one in the link is also advertised as a T mount, but definitely fits the K mount body.

I wonder if T mount has become a generic, but incorrect, term?

Crop the sea and sky off clone in a large Nautilus shell, convert it to B&W and you have an Edward Weston Masterpiece

Seriously though Ted, you have come a long way sine first joining this forum, just remember the tripod next time
Thanks. I had to go looking for Edward Weston...still got a long way to go before I reach that standard ( if ever! )

However far I've come since joining is soley down to the advice received on here.

OK folks. I took on board your comments and re-did the PP. I couldn't go back and re-take the shot yet, so the windmills couldn't be made more prominent, so I cloned them out.
I sorted the "bump" and a few other errors ( how did I miss them first time ).

Another one I took on the same evening.

But how much did Webster actually change? I lived in the US for 4 years and I can't think of more than a couple dozen words that are spelt differently.
Spelt / spelled being one of them

Are there any Latin words which have entered the English language which do retain the latin plural form?
Stadium = Stadia.
Refendum = Referenda. ( Although I have noticed this version of the plural dying in the last few years, in favour of referendums )

I actually didn't even consider making the windmills the subject. I did have my tripod with me, but this one was taken low down to the rocks and my tripod doesn't go that low. If I remember correctly, I think I rested the camera on a rock for support.

As for the horizon...I think it is, but I'll check.

You've given me some things to work on, and it's not far away so I can go back.

Good strong colours, spot on focussing and a fine composition, but the windmills bother me,
Yep, the windmills were bothering me, but I thought I'd say nothing and see what the feed back is. You've confirmed my gut instinct Nothing I can't clone out.

and about 3 inches in from the left there`s a "bump" on the sea horizon, not sure what this is but it is a bit distracting.
We need a smiley for DOH!, but I'll settle with It is an error with PP. I didn't spot it before I saved the image.

All in I think it`s a fine image, I would be pleased to have taken it.

Thanks.

Thanks Ted.

Purely depth of field as lens was set at f/4.

In that case, with DoF that low, I'm impressed at how well focused the petals are
