As long as the 'L' is remembered and deposited in the appropriate location George! Now there's a niche Pentax could exploit - the Flattercam!

Having spent a week in the Outback of NSW & SA, I've come back with some photos that include Lake Eyre - with water in it. It's been wet there two years running (pardon the pun) - that is rare in European history AFAIK.
Given it's isolated and remote, the only way I could take pictures of it was to fly and shoot at the same time. I had a CPL fitted to the 16-45, in front of the K5.
As can be seen, the CPL cannot compensate for the many reflections inside the cockpit on a harshly-lit Outback day (however it is rotated). Thus, these photos will not be posted on the 'Your Photos' forum - the quality just isn't there.
Pics taken below 10,000'.

While the images didn't turn out as I had hoped, at least I was privileged to see the Lake as something other than a dry salt pan - and it's worth seeing given it's size (9,500 sq km).

Many thanks all, appreciate your comments.
Diversity is vital for us all Alan! I may try a straight BW version on some of these as well - thank you for your thoughts.

Hear hear George.

A lake that has been dry for 15,000 years, with the sand dunes on the lee side still active and being blown Eastward at a rate of between 1 and 3 metres per year. The lake bed (about 240 square kilometres) was used as native pasture for a number of sheep stations in the 19th and earlier 20 centuries.
It is also the location where 'Mungo man' was located, who (depending on who one believes), is dated to c. 40,000 years ago (check the zeros...).

Only the K5 with 16-45, and the Kx with 50-135 were on hand, as it was blowing sand the whole time. No changing lenses here!
C&C welcome, as always.

I'm with Bernard on that. Especially for people in an industry where laser usage is widespread.

I see this is your first post ALan, so g'day and welcome.
Page 227 of the Kx manual explains what it is you are after. After you take the images, there are various effects you can apply to the pictures. One of those effects is BW.
