The off camera flash gives them a very natural lighting look, particularly for no. 2. No. 1 might be a bit too back lit, at least it looks that way on my monitor. Could the shadow detail be brought out a bit unless it was the intention to be quite dark?

Some people don't even put 5000 on a camera in 4 or 5 years can't see the point in that you spend all that money on cameras and lenses

I did 5000 in the first 6 months of getting my k3ii

Just try scanning 5000 colour slides! It really is quite lot.

And Just because you can take multiple shots for each photo doesn't mean you have to. Cameras with high shutter counts I'd expect to have been used in machine gun mode rather than carefully composed and executed single shots. It doesn't mean the photographer has ended up with any more usable images.

Thanks for the comments all. Having rubbished ICM where there's a need....
For info they were all taken at ISO100 using a 3 stop Tiffen ND filter so effectively half the speed of Kodachrome 25 film to get a long enough exposure and sensible f stop. I feel they do have a 'sort of' Kodachromish appearance.

Ever realised half way through exposing a film you forgot to set the ISO?

Hello Mr Processor, I would like the first six negatives pushed two stops, and rest pulled one stop please.

Most high street processors couldn't cope with push processing at all.

As to TAv and Sv, mine were either fully manual or aperture only. The term Av came in later!

#2 looks like a typical English village scene. The convicts got their revenge with the bridge!
The weather in #1 looks typically British too!
Thanks.

If either of those are too cheap for PU readers, there's always this one for £777:

i'm not sure if some of these sellers come from the same planet as the rest of us! It must be the intergalactic postage rates to incur such a price differential, hence the need for an astrotracer.
