I like the first one, the 'red' pitches look like running water !!!

The others appear very dark, with no actual focal point.

My eyes go from place to place and settle no where, but there may be other opinions.

I'm seeing ad's for "Weight Watchers" and "Money Lending" ?

How do they know I'm a fat bas*ard with no money ????

To any single women on the forum, I'm not that fat, and I'm only £5.00 in the red !

Thanks for the positive comments

I haven't been taking a lot of photographs recently, for one reason or another.

I did feel I had a good day on Saturday on the 'Royal Mile'. I tried to take my time, and compose each shot, rather than go for the 'machine gun' approach.

I had the Sigma 105, ( thanks to Dan for the recommendation ), on the K7 most of the time as I was after portrait style shots, but did whip out the 'fishy' a few times.

I have put a few more of the images here, if you are interested,

A lot of the Edinburgh Fringe shows have their last performance's today, Sat 14th.

So everyone was out on the 'Royal Mile' trying to capture the punters.

Lots and lots of photo opportunities.

This girl was stunning, I could have photographed her all day !!!

Not so scary when you speak to him, sound guy.

Loved the look, Red hair and Stockings too !!!

Magicians - Victorian style, so it had to be 'sepia'

Ok - here are the stockings !!!!

K7 and the Sigma 105 mostly, some with the 17-70 Pentax

The Pentax AF500FTZ works well on the DS model.

The 'PENTAX Digital Camera Utility 4' has also been updated to version 4.21.

Gwyn, I'm not sure I like the "face lift" myself.

New manager ?

That seems to be the usual driving force ?

"techno-terminator",

I complained about the shower pressure, they said, "open the window".

Got one of my pictures on the new web pages of BBC Scotand

Not the greatest ever achievement, but feels good.

( it's the Shetland one, p.s. don't open the windows at high tide if you have room 2 )

I liked the colours in the sky on Shetland last week.

I took a few with the 10-17mm Fisheye, but I thought I would try and straighten out the horizons.

I used 'PTLens' plug-in for Aperture and straightened the first taken at 13mm and the second taken at 10mm.

I know nothing I use will ever be perfect, and quite liked 'PTLens', but is there anything else you can recommend ?
