These are from a holiday during July:
1. West Lulworth taken from the hillside above the Stair Hole:
2. Lulworth Cove, captured in three shots and combined in Microsoft ICE:
3. A couple of the bays along the coastal path - interesting wave interference:
4. Durdle Door, as seen from the coastal path:
The photos were taken using a K-5 IIs and a 20-40 zoom. They are JPEGs from the camera, with adjustments applied in PaintShop Pro X8.
Any comments always welcomed.
Cheers.

I like these, Nigel, and my choice is number 2 - partly because of the attractive colour contrast (almost green-magenta complementaries), and also it is somewhat unusual in the flowers not being the subject.

I missed this set at the time it was posted. Steam fairs are always fascinating and enjoyable events, with their wide variety of old vehicles on display. I think the old traction engines are wonderful, so I am pleased to see one at work in your first shot. Has that photo had some special processing, e.g. with the Nik software?
Cheers.

A neat church tower and the photo has good colours and perspective. It seems rather tightly framed (or cropped) - if it were possible, I would have preferred a bit more of the foreground below the wall and a bit more sky above the tower. Also it might be a touch over-sharpened - some of the edges seem a bit sparkly. Nevertheless, I like photos of churches and I would be pleased to have captured this one.
Cheers.

I really like the second photo for its composition, colours and the misty effect of the rain - just wish the train was on the viaduct!
Cheers.

Louise, the K-5 II is a robust high quality camera and this one looks like a real bargain. It can be compared in specifications with the K-30 here:

That website also has full reviews and there are many other favourable reviews to be found on the Web.

It might be worth searching around for a used Pentax K-5 II at a similar price level. The K-5 series seem to be bomb proof!
