Funnily enough, someone handed me a printout of this last night at ADAPS. I've actually seen it before with another name substituted and of course the answer I gave was the same then as now.

The classic simplicity of black and white every time.

This looks like a great program and we had a demo of it at ADAPS last night. A group of us are ordering licences, so the price does come down.

I don't really go for "HDR with everything" but there are certainly some images where it really makes a difference.

It depends on the effect you want to create. I've seen some interesting HDR with waving grass creating some excellent colour effects.

Go into the Custom Settings menu and you will find whatever options there are at setting the front and rear e-dials. Manual mode is not included because you have to have a way of setting shutter speed and aperture and need two dials for that.

Ugly is a more difficult theme that I rgought it would be. I like a challenge!

So there is no doubt that offensive language and behaviour is not acceptable both posts alluding to or actually using it have been deleted, as has ChrisA's mis-quote of the original in the previous post.

However it is not my intention to censor so the rest of this somewhat silly exchange has been left and I hope that now that will be the end of it.

The offensive language has been removed.

Just let the image speak for itself, with or without a title as the photographer wishes, and let the judge do the judging. It is for enjoyment as well as helping people to imrove and develop their style, so no need for any image to become an argument.

I think all the Pentax stuff is worth keeping if you want it and worth selling if you want to move it on. The exception might be the MV which will probably fetch a derisory amount.

The Vivitar lens leaves me a bit indifferent, but it might sell for £20 or so on eBay.

Well done all and especially Malo1961 our Worthy Winner. Over to you for the next installment...

Just a note about the judging - good call to not read the discussion until you had judged and another good call to not let it change your mind afterwards. Very thoughtful and very perceptive comments as well.
