Ever tried jumping in the air before taking a long shadow pic? Set the camera to a high shutter speed first. You get a very spooky looking disembodied shadow.

A K20D, 31 & 77 Ltds, and a full spec photoshop will not leave you much change (if any) out of your £1500. Possibly just enough left for another bottle of vodka and maybe some beers for the fridge. Enjoy.

PS: If you think the DA*'s are good, wait 'til you've seen some results from the Ltd's.

Glad you got it sorted. You can probably get a refund for the unused goat.

Are you running the right version of Remote Assistant for your camera. You need version 3 for the K10D, which I believe contains drivers for the camera.

One mistake you made though, it should have been a large goat . . . signed by Microsoft. Small unsigned goats just don't work with Vista

I think the composition of your second posting is much better than the first. I'm not sure which I prefer for lighting, maybe the first one is better. I'm sure you could reduce the exposure of the second one to obscure the background trees or paint over them with your preferred editor.

Great subject.

I have the 70-300mm APO Macro Super and it is a superb performer for it's price.

I prefer no watermark but yes, it's improved. It doesn't distract attention too much from the main image.

I'm still not happy about the lower 50% of the pic, but that's just my preference.

I appreciate the need for a watermark, but yours, is overstated. Looking through the watermark is difficult, but to me, all of the interest is above a line around the middle (above your watermark), the foreground does nothing, and I would lose most of it. Exposure seems spot on.

That'll be true for any camera, and most everything else, if it's bought in any EU member country. It's an EU wide statutory requirement of manufacturers to provide it, and has been since about 2003 I think.

As I understand it, the DA and DA* lenses have an image circle to suit APS-C sized sensors. If used on film (35mm) SLR's, severe vignetting will occur at large aperture settings.The D-FA lenses have a 35mm image circle and will suit both film and digital SLR's.

Anybody want my SMC Pentax-A 135mm 1:2.8? Only £500 and I'll post for free.

At that price I think you should include personal delivery

You drive a hard bargain ! Such a wonderful lens at a bargain price and you want personal delivery too, nah, I think I'll keep it (as if I had a choice, but you never know, one day . . . .).
