I like the sense of the movement and constant shifting of the crowds, so I think you've achieved your objective. Very effective.

I'm getting a feeling that lockup seems to mainly happen when the grip is being used.

Maybe it's the switching from one battery to the other when the first runs too low?

I can't test that suggestion as I don't use a grip. I have never had a lockup with any Pentax DSLR.

Just as an aside, the HDR version as a print won first place for me at the Wigan 10 Gala Day a couple of years back. I've been pleased with the success the image has had.

You were lucky to get a IIs four months ago, in which case it was right off the first batch I would think. Not that it's a significant factor - the K-5 design is so well established I wouldn't expect any real teething troubles.

That's fair enough MrS, although much of that redness is actually due to the strongly mixed lighting. All those interior lights are very dull and very red.

Nonetheless, it could be toned down and you could get the result you indicate you want.

We were at Dunham Massey on Sunday, and the downstairs maid seemed to be everywhere, even upstairs. All for £14 per annum with half a day off each month. Amazing!

Might be USA only, but I'd love to able to buy a 645D. Sadly, the reserves will not stand that sort of a hit.

There is a request that posters limit their signatures to their name and a "best wishes" or something like that. Links to websites and any other information should be in the Profile.

However, we aren't about to do a cull of excess information, there's too much else that's more important. If you want people to read your posts then limit the waffle at the end, it just distracts.

Colour in the rain is gorgeous - you guys need to get out there and discover it all. Remember, people are water resistant....
