Richard, What I was trying to state is that eyes look better when there is white on either side of the Iris, they then look balanced and more attractive in my opinion.

This is something camera club judges tend to look for, personally I think it's a load of codswallop

Shaun: we've seen you can take a good portrait a number of times as others in this set proove, but I'm sorry to say that the second shot (the one in question) is probably your worst ever A classic horror movie sprung to mind as soon as I looked at it, does anyone remember The Beast with Five Fingers

That disjointed hand is just WRONG! crop it for just a head shot.

A member of my camera club has brought in a list of kit that a work colleague is selling, I thought it may be of interest to PU members so nabbed the list

As I understand it the guy is wanting to sell it as a bundle for £650.

K7 6000 actuations
18-55 WR
50-200 WR
50mm f1.8 K (manual)
28mm f2.8 K (manual)
35-80 K (manual)
Hoya UV filters
YN560 flashgun fired about 10 times
Macro ring flash (led type) never used
spare battery
tamron bag that carries everything
samsonite case for body and 1 lens
mini tripod
lens/camera cleaning kit

all lenses are Pentax

thats about all the details I have, if anyone is interested drop me a PM for the guys email address.

I should point out I have never met this guy but if it means a PU user getting a good deal then I don't mind passing on his details.

I like the first shot the best, the juxstaposition between old and new (is that how you spell juxstapawhatotsits?) though I'd have preferred not to see the figures that appear to be hurrying out of the frame in the bottom right hand corner.

last shot also also peaks my interest in wanting to know what the reflected scene actually looked like, although you have already shown us in shot 4.

I think the K10D was an improvement on the K20 before it even came out

Looking back over some of the best images I have taken, competition winners and PPG acceptances etc, most of them were shot on either the K10D or K5, I mustn't have got out enough with the K20 I agree it did have a very nice card slot though.

Do you need a second opinion Barrie? I can tell the wife you do, it'll be a good excuse to go buy some

When I found that out I thought I'd save some money on my next glasses, but getting the 50mm primes to stay in the old frames was too much bother

Also, don't forget to put the eyepiece cover on the viewfinder before using the remote. Light coming in the viewfinder can really confuse the lightmeter, thus causing poor exposure. This would also degrade the picture quality.
Good thought Yves, I never considered that, although I've never really had a problem with it.
And it's quicker to take a meter reading then set the camera to manual than mess about with the eyepiece cover
