Another good set Adam. Must confess it has been decades since I last visited Blackpool, certainly looks well worth a revisit (out of season!)

Thanks Stephen
Lots more to come from this trip as well

I don't like to be above ISO 800 because of digital noise/grain.

Is that on the KP you're referring to?
I thought the KP had the accelerator (?) chip to help with high ISO shots/noise?

I'm still using the original K-3 and cap iso at 3200 on that, and ideally shoot below 1600. I know can be different between people but I'd hoped the KP would be much better than that.

Noise reduction on the very latest lightroom is really good now, and you can dial it up or down to suit - avoiding the fake aspect you mention when overdone. It's so capable these days I think higher ISO performance, once the standard go to feature of each new model release, is not as important any more.

Yes it is the KP and yes it is supposed to be great at high ISO
But not in my experience with it
Maybe it is me
But I also choose not to PP 9% of the time other than cropping/straightening

Amazing installation and nice shots of it. I think the bright sky got the better of the last one however. Had the exposure been dialed up a few EV it would have given you a longer open shutter time.

Thank you

Lots of detail and studies of things. Great stuff - and Blackpool will supply any amount of that sort of material. I like it.

Thank you
I have many more to post later this week

Right up my street love out of season at the coast, although guess Blackpool is still going with the illuminations.

Great photos and again that DA 16-45mm is proving to be a solid purchase

Out of season anywhere for me!
Prefer it when very few people are around

I am liking the lens a lot
Just about to give it some serious time on my K200D
