Super shot, well done. The yellow colour cast could do with toning down a bit I think. I assume most (if not all) of the boats are white, how would it look if you chose one of them as the white reference for white balance? Would it ruin the other colours?

Lovely shots, but way to many. A few here and a link to the rest would have been better IMHO.

What software did you use for the watermark?

Lightroom 2.4 and the occasional PS/CS4 and Noise Ninja if necessary.

Sorry John, only a bit of fun .. won't hold it against you if you delete the post

I have one, the lens is free, delivery (personal collection is not an option) only £1299.00.

Or swap for a Sigma 500mm 1:4.5 EX DG.

To have the facility to change the actual shutter count would be like winding the clock back on a car, not advisable.

If the shutter were ever to require replacement, then it would be reset.

Thanks for your efforts Peter, Stefan and Tooks

You're welcome Steve.

Y'know, now I think back over the 4 or 5 years I've used Pentax DSLR's, I can think of only a handful of times when I might have used a high ISO setting, mostly at concerts.

So was it all worth it? Yes as an exercise, but I honestly doubt I will need it much. I'm sticking with my K20D's until something substantially better comes along at an affordable price (for me).

Stefan, It would seem that the D300 and a700 control noise better in camera.

1: The noise in all three of these images can be reduced or removed in PP.
2: Of these three images, the K20D renders the best colours.
3: I'll not be buying a D300 based on those colours, they are awful.

Thanks for taking the time.
