Can we look forward to future posts from Smeggy arguing for the over- riding importance of sharpness, all the time, and a series of shots with his new K5IIs of single trees in fields, blurred flow in waterfalls etc etc??
Don't do it Smeggy! We love you just the way you are

With 3 stop hard grad

With 3 stop hard grad plus 10 stopper

Had to do very little with these in Lightroom relative to my normal faffing about with digital grads.
The grads are from the Lee Sev5n series - not cheap but a great match for the DA Ltds. Very happy with them so far. Trip to the Lakes next week to get even better acquainted

Shoot me now
Thoughtful of you. Important to replicate these kinds of studies with different types of images.
Feel free to load up the RAW image at your convenience, Matt. No need to wait for someone to come and take a snap of you.

Missed out last year, but you just need to go for a date and a location, and if folk can make it they will. Go for something and they will come ( including me... Hopefully )

#2 is my pick of these... a very different take on this location and beautifully composed.

I think it's like a round of drinks in the pub. Must be when Steve cashes in his lottery ticket and buys us all one
See link
My guess is he's getting excited about Dave Edmunds 70th Birthday (he of pub rock and new wave fame with "numerous hits in the 1970s and early 1980s, his natural leaning has always been towards 1950s style rock and roll".). Certainly worth celebrating ... possibly by buying a shiny new camera?
