Hello Mike.

After about half a minute the screen will go dim - half-pressing the shutter, or using any button or dial, will restore its brightness. In difficult light, try not only changing the screen angle but also experiment with how you hold the camera. E.g. In bright sunshine, I find it often helps to hold the camera against my body (near the bottom of the rib-cage), with the screen angled upwards so that I'm looking down on it.

Cheers.
Philip

#9 and #10 look a bit over-exposed, but otherwise they all look fine to me.

Cheers.

Unusual and interesting shots of these wonderful aircraft - I like them all but my choice is #3.

Cheers.

I like these interesting shots and I agree that, in most cases, the colours look very natural. On the other hand, they might also convert well to B&W, to give the period look. For the first, is there space to move right a bit, to exclude the hall roof while still including the street lamp?

Cheers.

I know the feeling, Stu.

These are of one of the subjects that I enjoy and I like your photos, particularly the close in shots.

Cheers.

These are wonderful, Mat, and really seem to have a 3D look about them.

Cheers.

Thank you for viewing, and for your encouraging comments, Nigel.

I am pleasantly surprised by the 55-300mm and by my first attempts at using it - it does seem to deserve a good reputation. Also, it seems user-friendly for a relative novice, it is nicely balanced on the K-5, and I like its fairly compact form for carrying around. Although I don't have the other one to compare it with, the WR version that I chose to buy seems to be very well made.

Cheers.

These were taken this afternoon at London Colney in Hertfordshire. This is not a subject I'm used to photographing, but it seemed a good way of trying out the 55-300 WR lens. They are hand-held K-5II camera JPEG images taken on Natural setting, plus a bit of contrast and sharpening in PaintShop Pro X6. The one of a very timid robin is about half of the frame.

1. At 150mm

2. At 210mm

3. At 260mm

4. At 300mm

Any comments always welcome.

Cheers.

Nigel, I agree with Stan and Andrew. I will also add that, in my opinion, #6 could do with a bit more colour and contrast when compared with the others and particularly compared with #4. My pick is #3 for its mixture of countryside and industry.

Cheers.

Nigel, that looks like a very pleasant area. If you are aiming for the natural colours of the vegetation, in my opinion they are best in 3 and 6. The greens of the grass look unnatural to me in several of the others. They look right in 5 but I would like a bit more contrast in the image. I also think that some e.g. 1, 7 and 8 would be better brighter and/or warmer. A couple of quick edits:

Cheers.
