Yves, would you be happy with the empty one's ?

Downed only the "Old Scatness" so far, very, very good !!!!

Got into Aberdeen, ( Scotland ), from a week in 'snow free' Shetland. The overnight ferry landed at 07:00 this morning, drove through the snow blizzards on the A90 to Dundee, and then on to my office in Edinburgh, then home

Unpacked my bags and put these beauties into the fridge, later I will poach my, Lerwick acquired, 'Shetland Smoked Haddock' in milk and serve with boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli , and drink one or two of the Valhalla Brewery beers, link , doesn't that sound bloody good !!!!

I understand that the f1:1.7 is preferred for macro work.

Spotted a Pentax FA 50mm f1:1.7 at ffordes, not for me, but I know they are sought after ?

Here is a link if anybody wants a look,

Nothing to do with me, I'm just giving anyone interested, a "head-up"

I bit the bullet, and finally got round to adjusting the back-focus problem I had with the K10D.

It didn't really show up unless I was shooting wide open or close to it, but after some shots last week, where I didn't get the results I was hoping for, I made the adjustments.

The two shots below show the before and after images. The first was taken last year and the second one taken today. I took about 20 shots the first time round, to make sure the back-focus wasn't a one off, and again the same today, I took about 20 shots to make sure it focused properly each time.

Both pictures were taken with the K10D + Pentax FA50mm @ f1.4, they are "as shot', just cropped to 800 pix wide for the forum.

I just hope my daughter doesn't see this

Slot machines

Lunches, Dinner and Pokies - I wanna go there

And maybe get the duster out ?

I'm about 15-20 minutes away from Knockhill, and go quite often, in the better weather, to see the motorcycle racing

I like the colours in the picture, and the low cloud on the hills.
