That looks like a really exciting and colourful day Stephen, and these shots convey that. Perhaps brightness slightly down and contrast slightly up would make them even more vibrant.

The kitchen ads are becoming something to look forward to.

It will be interesting to see how much difference/improvement the new coating makes in practice. Looks promising regarding the continuation of the Pentax name.

That is a great effect, Dave - a nice photo and a nice painting. The distortion is inevitable - magnifying the cow as much as you have is bound to put a huge strain on the frame.

Good photos from you three. And I agree with David, Neil - #2 is a great shot to capture the moment of the gun blast.

These are well-taken, sharp, panned images Mike, and experiments are always worth trying, but I'm going to be awkward and prefer 5 & 6 here. The tilted shots look oddly uphill/downhill to me, and I think that is because they are shot from the side. The technique seems to work better in shots taken from the front quarter, i.e. the car also angled as it comes towards you, as in examples 2, 4, and 8 from Simon (link). Just my opinion, of course.

It seems to me that both the original post and the direction it has taken are (to quote Edmund Blackadder) "like a broken pencil - - - - pointless."

These are very nice shots from the K-50, although if they were mine I would want a bit more brightness in the first two.
As usual, the watermark spoils them - "hideous" is an apt description. As is sadly often the case these days, a word has entered into common usage by repeatedly misusing it. Originally a watermark was an effect created to be invisible in normal viewing. Now they are not only visible but prominent.

The ethos of photography is to produce great images, how we get there is immaterial...
