Great images Chris without exception. I do like No 2 the most

too true, I am with you and as far as wide angle I will


would be happy with a sharp and corrected F4 version as I would be shooting at f8 and above. I guess apart from an advantage for the focusing system and the creative technique of large apertures, obtaining the sweet spot of a lens should be easily achieved with an f4 version. I would rather have weather resistant capabilities to match the K series cameras

I think the point that is missed is that as a professional you need to be assured you camera nails focus as often as possible. The big aperture will give you an advantage of at least 1 stop and I shooting in low light or changing light conditions the large aperture would give the focusing system an advantage over slower lenses. I agree that for me it would only amount in an inconvenience but if you are making a living out of it, the extra investment may well and probably be worth the cost.

No 3 is great but No 2 is top draw. Lovely set

A great set, my favourites being 1,5 and 9. I think no.5 has a great look to it and the waves almost emulate valleys in a landscape. Looks like a windy day too.

Fantastic images Phil, the Indian leaf is a statement in how wonderfully incredible nature is and of course perfectly recorded

Thank you everybody, what a great surprise to get home and find so many kind comments. I think the hardest thing is to share your images with others not knowing if they will be liked.

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment,



Tony

Thank you Dereck, your comment made my day

Finally a dry day and an early finish giving me a chance to look at a local spot and try and find an interesting image. After a long string of excuses not to pick up the camera, I made an effort to keep it close to hand today hoping for a colourful sky at sunset. Once the sun went down it was obvious that the sky was not going to help me out but I managed a good shot out of a few rushed images avoiding the rising tide and unpredictable waves. The only negatives were wet feet and losing my lens cap to the sea gods.
