Just superb, one after the other, every one a winner!

A brilliant set of images!

Colours are magnificent in the rain. Hope you enjoy your new camera!

As I shoot mainly using JPEG, I also pay attention to using White Balance quite a bit. This discovery was Acton Burnell Castle, in Shropshire. The day was cloudy, the stone was a warm, glowing amber and the Cloudy setting on the K-3 III captured that beautifully.

I've read Ricoh's statement a few times and I'm not sure that it specifically says it's the end of the K mount, rather it's the end of the K-series DSLRs. Talking of "leverage" is the point where it becomes a little vague so I guess we'll have to wait and see what it actually means in due course.

Meanwhile, we have a few K mount DSLRs that will keep us going for a long time and a few more K mount lenses that can be kept in use on Pentax cameras, or others with adapters no doubt.

It's looked like a stock clearance for a while now, so not totally surprising, but a new concept will be interesting if and when it arrives.

That's an interesting thought. I don't think it arises, and we see tones and shapes and colour doesn't come into it. Perhaps because for most items we don't actually know what colour exactly or perhaps because the composition and tonal values in black and white carry the message and colour is irrelevant if it's done properly?

I think your intruders improve the pictures, the second one in particular.

It was the Damhouse Summer Garden party today, so we went over to have a look. Sadly, strip out the stuff we would expect to see on 1940s weekends or classic car shows and we are left with not very much. Fortunately we had a pleasant over lunch chat with friendswho are sometimes Pentax users.

There were quite a few people milling about, especially after the pasties and pies.



There were also a few Mustangs there, previously photographed so I made a few very selective shots of details.



And a picture of Damhouse itself, looking good in some brilliant direct lighting.



Camera was the Pentax K-3 III with SMC DA 18-135mm lens.

Did anyone get out and about somewhere interesting today?
