Perhaps for now 12MP is as far as the 4/3 sensor can be pushed. It is quite small.

Those last two hit the spot in their different ways. Nice work.

If you crop out the bottom third of version two I think we end up with a very powerful image.

It was changed to increase the resolution to match the 14.6MP sensor of the K20D.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was a battered 50mm lens, possible one of the Praktika ones such as the Domiplan.

I'm not sure that his books are banned as such, but there was bad publicity a few years ago. At one time they were standard coffee-table stuff, but tastes and times change.

EDIT: I've had a look at Amazon and his books are still readily available.

David Hamilton built an entire photo and film making career on using a poor lens, so never say never...but I admit the exceptions are rare.

I used to visit Penrhyndeudraeth every month on business, arriving when all was quiet just after 8am...

Now we pass by sometimes on our way to Portmeirion and Porthmadog.

Very nice area and very photogenic.

I am intrigued by your literary style paulyrichard.

It's not an abbreviation as it takes just as long to type playin' as playing, so what is the function of the very consistent use of the apostrophe? Is it to mimic a regional accent of some sort?

Do please elucidate...:

Nice images, and proof enough that the kit lens is a good one.
