Is there an error in the link? It's not working from here.

You might need to check the file to make sure it's a JPEG and the extension is right. Upload again if needs be, there's no reason why it shouldn't show if it's a JPEG.

I'll delete that one as we can't see it anyway. Not sure if you can upload again, maybe it will need to be tomorrow.

Wow! Thank you so much for getting us back up to date!

What is noticeable is that the 28-105mm is sharper. Any difference in exposure is very small and the slightly lighter shot does take the muddiness out of the reds.

I would perhaps take a table top tripod, a good one like an old second hand Leica one, but wouldn't bother with any tripod that isn't heavy enough to be a nuisance.

You have SR in the camera, plus the use of all sorts of impromptu supports. Trees, walls, tables, all sorts of places to hold a camera firm.

Unless you have a specific purpose for the tripod, such as photographing small items in museums, then it probably won't get used and will just be one more thing to carry.

A lovely museum to visit, with so much to photograph.

It can happen for many reasons, but don't forget that illness or a family crisis can also be a reason, so best not to be too critical just in case.

I know what you're asking and a reminder has been sent.

stub is right that the intention was to have the harsh lighting and shadows, lots of shadows. We wanted to get away from glamour cliches. Some of the most contrasty lighting was substantially lit by just one of the small 64 LED light panels that are available on eBay and Amazon for £15 or less. A reflector was used to throw a whisker of light into the shadows, but only just.

PS All the images were shot with the pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 28-105mm lens.

The model was Kier and I shared the studio with my friend Neil. We were experimenting with light and although much of the shoot was a nude session, here are a few other shots to see what you think.
