Thanks for the 3rd, Lilly.

I did try a mono, but to get the contrast I wanted, I started to loose detail in the trolley, couldn't get it just right. In fact the whole picture started to look 'muddy'.

K10D + Pentax-A 50 f1:1.4

Just to up-date you, I paid £125 for the lens, and saw one like it on 'ebad' recently for £275. So I'm quite happy. I have wanted one of these for a while so I might have been tempted to go to £275, but then again maybe not.

I love it, here's tonight's dinner at f1:1.2 on the K10D

Seems in good condition, recently serviced and cleaned to remove internal dust, don't want to say what I paid for it, ( duh ), but what would you say I should have paid ???

D-of-F at f1.2 is as thin as a razor-blade,

But it does improve at f8.0, ( think I may have found what happened to the "Village People", well at least one of them ??? ).

That's the latest 'self-portrait', camera.

Have you not seen the reviews in "Woman's Own'.

I would agree with ChrisA, needs a bit more contrast to lift it a bit. I might have used f4.0 or more, if you had it on the lens, to blur the background a bit, and shift the focal point to the people and cow.

Not in the same league as Galoot, but does it work? C&C appreciated.
I was there to photograph a sunset, and failed, but ended up with the cows, you were recording interaction with people and the cow, so as ChrisA said, " not the same type of shot".

p.s. might clone out the guy with the white T-shirt on top left, it's strange the things that catch your eye in photographs

Are you saying, "Oh . . .ah nice "

I think Mannesty is right, the sharpening is more scary than the spider
