Well done Matt - I really like #2, you often get these weird light & shadows when in shallow water, it's less pronounced the deeper you go but can stil get gorgeous shafts of sunlight. I like the way the disturbed water has reflected in #6. The B&W works surprisingly well !

Try taking a powerful UW torch with you next time and just lighting up your subjects if they are in shadow - one handed works surprisingly well because as salt water is ca. x100 denser than air at sea level it helps stabilise your hand.

What's with these big price drops in the Far East Nass ? I haven't heard anything but haven't been to my stockist in a month.

Looks great there. Love the street busker shot !

Lovely shots - thanks for posting the link. I was surprised at how many of these ignore the Rule of Thirds and positioned their subjects dead centre and that an armchair was considered a landscape shot !

A lovely set indeed !

I really like #2 but would have liked it much more if you have made a pano of that sky whilst there ! #8 looks very serene and attractive because of that.

Oops (must not be droll)

I do notice that your kit list is well long. I got no end of complaints and a pm when I added a long list of kit. What is your secret?

Best regards[/quote]What are you ? Like 12 years old

Keep : K-5, K10D, Sigma 10-20 EXDC, DA17-70, FA50 F1.4, A100 F4 Macro, A400 F5.6 (AF), Bigma
You have 10-500mm, macro, UWA, birding, tele and low light covered.

Sell : DA18-55 MkI, DA18-135, DA55-300 ( I have a 50-150 and a *300 and have not used this lens once since buying them - I doubt yours will see the light of day now either), FA28-200, A28 F2.8, A50 F1.7, A400 F5.6.

TBH the only real gap there is a lens like the 50-135, 50-150 or a 70-200 (though the 60-250 would be even better)

Oh how droll. If you read the opening post again then it will all make sense.

This should tell you all you need to know link. The K5 knocks the 5D out in the first round. Now the 5DII is a very different proposition

Oh yes. Now we are talking about my misspent youth !

NIce (but short) set - really like 1&2 ! Should have put up a few more.

Schools out forever !
