It’s a good B&W image of a most suitable subject. Although easy to say after the event, maybe more of the far left rail line could have been included to capture the full pair. Do all steam train drivers stand and pose for photo’s?

The term "picturesque" comes to mind. Very green and calm.

Its close to end of chapter twelve.

So I'll propose that the lady of the year for the Pentax User Forum is Gwyn.

For some time somewhat quiet with respect to posting images.

Sagacious and always courteous to forum members.

Level headed and always helpful.

Wishing you all the very best for 2015.

Very best regards.

Gary

I don't think it would reach such status. I do see it as being THE best 16Mp camera that was produced though.

I am very very glad I bought mine a couple of weeks back. The down side for me was that I initially thought it was just a stop gap camera. I was wrong and I could have been using one for some time.

That then raises the question of just what do you do when Ricoh introduce these new or revised versions of a camera? Buy into it or sit tight and await the next model which is what I did, going from a K5 to the K3.

This may sound odd but I consider my K5 IIs to be in the same category as my *istD and K10D in that they are keepers as far as I'm concerned.

Classics in their own right.

Best regards

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at here Gary, my comment didn't make any reference to levels and I thought that you had previously praised Nigel's image? Isn't the haze integral to the scene and a reflection of lighting conditions at the time? I'm a bit confused.

Regardless, the second shot is probably more accomplished technically, but it doesn't attract my eye in the same way that the first one does.

Hello David,
I was referring to your comment of the first image being very sharp. I didn't see it as being sharp. I do agree that haze could be part of the scene but coming from a film background I try to avoid its effects where possible. No issues, and looking forward to image number three.

Best regards

My 1920 screen must be smudged or faulty? I dragged the image into Photoshop and just auto levels makes a large visible difference. I'll try and get my copy of photoshop checked as well.

The second image is a great shot. A lot more detail and sharper than the first image (IMO). A good choice of shutter speed and well framed with the ploughed soil running up from the lower right corner.

The only other time one sees this much gull activity is behind or around fishing boats.

Best regards
