Red Chair, Waiting and the Sub in that order for me, out of a very pleasant series indeed.

Well worth keeping your hands dry for, nice shot Jon.

Great panning technique to capture it as it whizzed past!

The little bulbs are fascinating - fluid or air filled? A small amount of extra DoF might have been beneficial in the 2nd, to take advantage of all of the available detail.

Funnily enough, no snow survived our 36 C degree day yesterday here in Oz!

G'day and welcome.

G'day and welcome.

Something else that needs some consideration is that this comparison isn't 'apples with apples'.

The *istDS sensor has a pixel density of 1.7 Mp per square centimetre. The K7 has 4.0 (as does the K20) - that's a bit over double the density. That checks out with resolution too, given 14.x Mp in the K7 is a bit over double that of the *istDS.

Given they are all APS-C sized sensors, this is the way more resolution is squeezed onto a sensor that has to retain at least two of its physical dimensions (W x H).

While that isn't the whole story, it has a bearing on it.

Well done Darlene (my first pick - awesome), and to Adrian for getting this done under what are clearly trying circumstances.

Interesting conversation...
