Thanks all - I had a hard time getting the picture #1 right - regarding the angels.

It is indeed a funny building to look at - all different angels all over the place.

I guess I got it straight now - I was a bit confused doing it in CS3 yesterday.

The last one is from Bornholm - a small island in the baltic sea - the island where my family have our sommerhouse. Lovely little island.

And another one - just finished PP on.

This is the ruins of Hammerhus - Castle.

This is the typical sight of the Copenhagen waterfront atm. All new builidngs all over the place.

This is my typical HDR style - a bit saturated for some of you - I know. Hope you like it.

DA* 50-135# 75 mm, iso 100.

I like you images as always - lovely foreground on the seond one.

Excellent shots. Overall very well done with the HDR.

I particually love the second shot. Very dramatic. Lovely.

Welcome to PU.

Yes we have..... It is quite common and some say it is on purpose that pentax wanted the camera to underexpose a bit. + 1 seems to be on the high side perhaps.

Try search the forum for underexposure and you will find a lot of threads about it.

Nothing wrong with the camera - just something that is normal and wanted.

I just had a IR filter from Cokin this weekend. I was very keen to try it out with my new P-system.

I mounted it on the Da* 50-135 and snapped away. All pictures were black....very littel visable on the screen....hmm....went on the internet to surf. Found a few places to read - but didn't find anything that included the k10D.

What seems to be the problem was the meetering. When I tried to use Av mode - the shutterspeed was 0,3 to 1/10 #f4-f8, iso 100.

I know I needed a much slower shutterspeed to get some results. So I switched to Bulb - And had exposures at 13 seconds or so - that helped - but still didn't got great results.

I was wondering if anyone around here have tried these IR filters and have experience?? Why is Av mode not working correctly?? Ideas?

(I might have used it at a to long focal lenght. I was just playing around.)

Sounds very interesting - now we just need to see some of the shots

Probably a lot better thant you think....

I think you still need to play with the program alot more.

What you need to try out is the black and white point slides. These will make a big effect. The light smoothing will also change the light all over the shot as well. Try combine these and you will have some very different shots.

Last - you need to experience with the ev spacing. I'm not sure what you have done to these. It looks like 3 frames with 1 ev spacing.

To add more contrast try use 2 ev spacing.

To get the best tonal range try 5 frames with 1 ev spacing.

I do like the church a lot.

(by the way - it is easier to just tonemap a single image instead of producing 3 or 5 different exposures. It will have the same effect)

Just a very quick IR conversion.
