Payment received for IR filter

PM's replied.

Both sold subject to payment.

Trying to make a bit of space in my bag before I go on holiday and raise some cash towards a new lens........

First up I have a genuine Asahi Pentax K 50mm extension tube designed to go with the M and A series 50mm lenses for macro work. This is a fully manual tube with the aperture lever, but no contacts. Works great paired with the 50mm manual lens to give 1:1 macro. There are some examples on my portfolio and it's a cheap way to get into 1:1 macro with high quality.

I have the push fit end cap (for the 'lens' end), but not a spare cap for the mount end, unless I find one in the meantime. It's quite hard to find these days and I can't find another to check the price so I'll simply sell it for what I paid. £15 delivered by Royal Mail Recorded.

Also available is a 49mm Infrared R72 720nm filter. I bought this for my 50mm lens, but tend not to use that for IR. Very little used and in great condition. £9 delivered.

I did this too last week with my 'Towers' picture. I accidently posted the wrong version, deleted that, and re-posted the correct one. There was, at the very least, several hours between the original post and the re-post and possibly as much as 12 hours or so.

There is still a 'delete' option on the picture now, though obviously I couldn't re-post now that the competition has been judged/closed. Up until the point that the competition closed I can't see that anything would have prevented me from doing this.

I'm not sure it's worth losing any sleep over rule 6, but if it is important, I don't think it's correct.

Here's my go. I was trying for the grungy look, but also needed a subject with texture so it's neither one thing or the other in the end. It's one of my Shorthairs overlaid with the fur from the other one and given slightly grungy colours.

Both layers taken on 7/6/12

Pentax K-r with M 50mm f1.7, f4, 1/40 sec, ISO 250. Processed in Corel Paintshop Pro X2.

Probably not the best subject for the topic, but I was having a play for the fortnightly competition. It's one of my Shorthairs overlaid with the fur from the other. First go at this type of picture so any suggestions for improvements welcomed.

That's fine, thanks.

No moaning - just to clarify.

Given that it's a technical treatment of a photo this time, which is great as I was just about to try some of the grunge techniques, is this restricted to a photo taken during the fortnight as usual, or can it be an older photo processed during the fortnight?

I usually enter both the weekly and fortnightly competitions.

Guilty of indolence and lack of motivation this time, but due to personal circumstances, not the competition theme.

On the whole, as a relative newcomer to dslr photography, I prefer being set a challenge to picking something from the back catalogue, but the latter is easier. I still think having to link to a photo rather than uploading it puts people off. It's easy when you have done it once, but why put any barriers in place to entry?

Perhaps the fortnightly competition could concentrate on techniques rather than subject? Tutorials from experienced members would certainly be welcome.

I have one of these with a PK mount and it's a terrific match for an older manual 50mm. Very good price for a PKA mount, almost tempted to upgrade, but don't have anything to match it to.
