Groan!

That was bad.

Good luck on getting home Steve, we need some fresh photo's posting.

I'm not 53 until next year.

I'm still ONLY 52 and nobut a whipper snapper!

That's true Stefan, almost all images on a canon site I stumbled across had been 'tweaked' in some way.

In fact one guy showed the 'poor' original and 'improved' new image...

...give me Pentax IQ anytime, I can't PP and have no intention of spending hours 'tweaking' just one image.

I'd never get any shots taken if that was the case!

That must be because we're not trying.

Stew for supper followed by a G'n'T' and the news.

So that's an aeroplane is it?

The problem with 'lens type' is that people want the best image possible from their cameras.

I'm not that fussy, although there are lenses I don't use because the IQ is poor.

In a way I'm getting fed up of PP'd images that appear all over the web, if the shot needs so much work then something's wrong. Most of my posted images are straight from the camera, with maybe a little cropping, that's all.

I've posted a few B&Ws lately, but that's because it was B&W film I used. The rush to convert a bland colour to a slightly less bland B&W is starting to get to me.

What film did you use and who printed it?

I only ask as the colours are superb, my images from the same period are a little the worse for age.

Welcome lad, from over the hill.

Just ask away, we're here to help and somebody can always answer just about any question.

Hello John, thought you'd forgotten this little thread.

That tree's safe, it produces tasty apples!

Mine came from ebay last year for less than £5 delivered!

I just thought it was a cheap copy until it arrived...
