Colours are a little rich for my eyes too (sorry) and look slightly out of focus, but then again it's 12.45am and I am a little tired or it just might be the colours.
Certainly a beautiful day for your trip and a lovely place to visit.
Thanks for sharing.

The 2nd image I feel that I can almost stroke it, what an excellent photo. Well done.

I've always said that we should just axe the road tax system, and put it on the fuel instead. This has many advantages:-
You pay for what you use.
Foreigners pay for what they use.
No way to avoid paying (without stealing the fuel!).
Eliminate the cost of running it (staff, post office, website etc etc.).
Less policing to do.
Less for us to do!
etc etc.
I would much prefer if the tax disc was replaced with an insurance disc and an MOT disc. Would feel a lot better knowing that everyone was insured, had a vehicle fit for the road, rather than knowing that some other tax was paid!

Our roads are a disgrace, it's no good putting down a layer of chippings every couple of years as that only hides the problem.
I do not object to paying the car tax but I do object to it being used for something other than it was originally introduced for.

I have a few specs of dust on my lens/filter which I want to remove.
A friend of mine has a cloth with a rubbery feel to it which he bought at Jessops,
With all the experiences here, which cloth would you recommend?
Please can you supply links where possible.
Thanks in advance.

I am struggling to get along with my K10D and although I have a strong desire for photography and want a great camera I am struggling with aperatures, exposures, shutter speeds, etc... etc...
I much prefer my old *ist DL camera.
What I have:-
Camera:-
Pentax K10D camera with original box and all content (hardly used (approx 3000 shots) bought March this year.
Lenses:-
Pentax 18-55mm DA AL (kit lens)
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO Macro DG (just a few weeks old, invoice date 24/04/200 with box
Sigma 70mm Macro f/2.8 EX DG (just a few weeks old, invoice date 24/04/200 with box
Extras:-
New spare genuine Pentax D-L150 r/charge battery (never used/boxed).
New Pentax AF-360 FGZ (never used but fired once to test/boxed).
New LCD screen protector (not yet fitted).
Remote shutter for Pentax (as new)
Remote IR control for Pentax (cheap but works well).
Magic Lantern Guide Pentax K10D by Peter K Burian (book)
Filters:-
Hoya UV filters for each of above lenses 52mm, 58mm, 62mm (all a few weeks old) plus other Hoya filters (mainly 52mm)
Everything is just a few weeks old and therefore as new condition.
I have spent in excess £1100 on the above items.
Nearly all of the items are in original boxes with warranties etc...
What's it all worth???? £1000 ? £900 ?
If anyone is interested then I will even deliver to within 100 miles of Hereford (very costly to post) for just £20 (150miles for £30).
PM only please if interested
This forum's members get first option, otherwise I will advertise locally in the next week or so.
Thanks
( ps I also have a hefty bill which has to be paid and something has to give to pay it)
