All great captures! 2 is the best IMO with beautiful subtle side-lighting. 3 doesn't really have any decent light on the ground, but the low viewpoint works well - perhaps you'll get another chance in better light?

No need to fight about cameras here at all I think all of our great Pentax models would have done admirably in these locations and conditions

A few from early December, around 4-6pm. I was warned I'd be deported for shooting pics around this area, and I feared the big Manfrotto clutched under my arm would provoke at least a tasering. But there were no dramas luckily - I was left alone to my solo photographic pursuit, undetected lurking in the shadows.

All with the K7, mirror lock-up & remote control.



































Thanks for checking them out, and all feedback gratefully received

Ah, yes, but if someones's photos are not up to scratch FF will surely help, won't it? I mean, its going to make them better, like, sharper or something, is that right?

All very 'Decisive Moment' !

All beautifully shot and presented. No 3 is my favourite with its unusual composition. Also the last - the wider view works better with those steps I think. Any chance to see it in colour?

Well he said he didn't need a new camera just yet !

I think the wider long exposure river shots work best here - the spinning London Eye is great!

Lovely peaceful and atmospheric images I prefer the sky colours in the first. I think the 'blob' is one of those OK candidates for cloning out - yes, it was part of the scene, but its actual effect is just distraction, and of course it doesn't look natural.

All 3 are great ! My favourite is No 2, it has an unusual composition but it works well.

For JPEG capture - any settings activated are processed and 'edited in' to the JPEG. Activated settings (such as distortion / CA corrections, high ISO noise reduction, shadow correction & highlight adjustment) all add to the time it takes to display the review image on the rear screen. They do not affect burst shooting rates, only the time it takes to display the final image of the burst at the end.

For RAW capture - any activated settings are stored in the file as metadata. They will also add to the review image display time, but only because this is a small embedded JPEG in the RAW which the camera will process and 'edit in' the various settings, so taking the extra time for that.

Custom image settings, white balance fine tuning or exposure compensation setting changes will not add anything to the processing or review image disaply times.

For RAW shooting I believe there is no point in activating any of these correction settings - they will just slow down the image display. The data will not be read and acted upon by software other than Pentax Digital Camera Utility. If you use PDCU then it takes almost no time to make the settings in the software anyway, so not worth slowing down the display on the camera.
