The shots are excellent, but I don't think I really like the effect applied, the grain pattern and the diffusion of detail. I'm not sure what you've done, but a natural shot would IMHO have looked much better.

Comment Image

This one is a 5 exposure HDR, used to create this look rather than any need in terms of dynamic range.

Fair point Ken.

ePHOTOzine is already set up to do all the things suggested - feedback, voting, POTW, it's all there.

PU has a different purpose, so the two sites together gel very well. Would there be any point to making them more and more the same?

And another. Please take on board - no personal jibes or attacks.

Now that's quite enough sniping at each other. Please remember, attack the argument, not the person.

So back on topic please, or if you can't stay on topic then at least please refrain from the personal jibes.

It doesn't need chairing, just start a thread discussing the week's images if you want to. It will be moderated if necessary in the usual way.

A suitable place would be General Chat. We'll soon get a feel for who is interested.

The high ISO performance of Pentax is so impressive you could even consider the weather resistant and very fast focusing 18-135mm.

Basically a good idea. I'm a little concerned that not all judges would actually look at all the pictures in the week, so there might be an unfair tendency to select from a very small sample. To actually look at and think about every picture in one week would actually be quite a lot of effort.

Would people do it?

Being Pentax User, we use...Pentax. But the K-5 models are well worth thinking about. There are many advantages, but to get comparison data I would look at the various review sites such as the sister site to this one www.ephotozine.com and others.

Perhaps the fast primes are the lenses for you?
