The light is really attractive in this image. I agree with a crop of the sky - in fact, it looks good to me when the horizon is near the top third line (i.e. about half the sky removed). The image does need levelling - the water line where the boats are should be horizontal.

Just for anyone's interest: Microglobe show the 31mm at £599.

I like these daytime landscape shots (despite the light), and you have reproduced the colours in what to me seems a very natural way. My preferences are 3, 4 and 8 for their content, composition and tones. I'm less keen on the flower shots, possibly because the flowers seem so untidy - presumably not your fault! Of the low light shots I like number 2, as the foreground colour and detail are still visible, and the coastline curves to the illuminations in the distance.

Looks like motion blur from camera movement - exposure time changes from 1/20 sec for the first to 13 sec for the last one.

These were between 1 and 2 a.m. then cloud covered the Moon so I went back to bed!













Sorry there's nothing in the Earth's shadow region on the Moon but I'm not familiar with this sort of photography.

I have used Windows up to Version 7 and they have a Compatibility Mode feature - have you found that in Windows 10? If it's there it's worth trying. Right-clicking on a program's .exe file(s) and selecting Properties gives a tabbed options window, one of the tabs being Compatibility. That allows the selection of an older version of Windows with which the program worked.

The pricing seems crazy but, given that is the way they are, the K-3II + 16-85 looks like a great bargain.

Very pleasing colourful photos - especially the last one, although perhaps it could lose a bit off the sky.

Cheers.

I really enjoy these shots, thank you David.

Yes, it has good colour and detail, Nigel. This sort of photo would really benefit from filling the screen, but it doesn't seem to go more than 800 pixels wide. I forget the limitations of different web sites - please remind me, is 800 the most allowed here?

Cheers.
