The club were at Astley Green Colliery Museum last night. Usually one per year they open up late for us and we have a model shoot. Here's a selection of lovely ladies for you:

Despite their misgivings, a bit of reluctant love shines through. After the review was written I wonder which one of them sneaked the camera home for a weekend of fun shooting?

Ah, but the statutory rights are not as clear cut as all that. In the first six months the onus is on the supplier to prove an item was not defective. After that, the onus is on the buyer to show that the item was defective. This is an area for argument and negotiation and, finally, the law.

A 2 year warranty is just that. It fails within two years, they fix it. And it's quite true it has no effect on our statutory rights.

Or their perception isn't good enough. Not everyone understands art and sometimes we need guidance to understanding. We are not born knowing all things.

Loch Awe is home to one of my favourite castles, Innis Chonnell. We made the trip over to it from Dalavich, hiring a boat from there.

A real abandoned castle on its own tiny carrog. Beautiful!

The K-5 mechanism is ultrasonic, so you won't hear it.

I think you've already made up your mind....

The 35mm is the "standard lens" and the 50mm is a modest telephoto most suitable for portraiture.

You could always buy the Pentax hood for the lens, but failing that a Chinese copy from eBay or Amazon.

I don't watermark images as I don't want to clutter them up and spoil them.
