I really like the first one - great texture and colour.

Wow these are super sharp and I too like the backgrounds. I often find it a pain to lug around a tripod, but when I do I always notice the effect it has on pics. Well demonstrated here. Are these spiders dangerous? (to humans). I know there are some in Australia which are...

I rather like number 2 of these, with the symmetry of the converging trees, which seem to 'loom' in the pic You really are making the IR medium your own

Great luck! and a nice capture. There's a bit more about this particular aircraft here:

Thanks for posting the links - including the cute kitten . Some truly aspirational shots...

Great sharp pics! really nicely done.

Thanks A'grove. You are right about NY. I definitely hope to go back there one day...

Nice one(s) Danny - I particularly like the light in number 3, which has just a tinge of gold, with still a bit of mist. I was up at the park on Sunday morning too in the fog. I was optimistic for mist given the clear night on saturday (saturday day-time was stunning!) but the fog was thick! especially on a push-bike in the dark.

From a pentax perspective I would echo John's thoughts on the WG-1. I have one of these and whilst it clearly has some limitations against a DSLR, I have been pretty impressed with the pics I have managed to get, especially with a bit of PP. I can confirm that it has so far stood up a range of things... seawater (snorkelling), sand, being dropped, tropical storm etc. no problems, and when it gets grubby I just wash it in the sink! It won't shoot RAW but as long as you don't push the ISO the quality of pics is actually pretty good considering the teeny sensor/lens combo. The zoom range goes so far physically and then a bit further digitally. Personally I don't use anything beyond the physical zoom as the quality does appear to drop beyond that. There is a fair degree of control as you can dial in EV compensation and adjust the settings for highlights and shadows, with plenty of pre-set shooting modes as well. It also focusses down to 1cm and has a useable macro function. Certanly worth a look I would have thought but if you don't need weatherproofing then a similar spec less the ruggedness would probably be cheaper. I have examples of PP'd WG-1 shots on my flickr and within recent threads here if you want to check them out (recent thread of pics of New York had some in as I recall)...

EDIT - link to NY thread with some sample shots...

Thanks again all for the comments! The Times Square pic is the full frame from the camera (or as near as dammit - i think i have just straightened it by about a degree), so I think I would lose a fair bit from the top corners if I straighten out the verticals...

I have now completed processing all my New York pics (I have to say Kris, on the strength of this (my only) visit, I am rather taken with the place myself) so if anyone wants to see any more they can be found on my flickr. Now onto Grand Bahama...

Best Regards
