There's just something completely gleeful about Spaniel's ears when they flap like this

Great photos

Painful painful painful

Really hope it's not too serious, and you'll mend quickly

Whoa! That's some substantial kit Dave.

I'd love the k1. Bit then I'd have to get the 15-30 . And then I'd need to get a filter rig like this . So one day, but not now.

Be great to see some images with this setup.

I've the Sigma 10-20 (original version) and previously owned the Pentax 12-24. I've found both really excellence. Corner sharpness is better on the Pentax, but only by a smidge, and the colour rendering has a slightly warmer tone. But it has an absolutely huge hood, which eventually I got fed up with. The Sigma is a more compact lens, which suits my style, and has (had?) the bonus of being significantly cheaper - you can probably pick up a bargain second hand. I've been very happy with its IQ.

However, as others have said, I find myself doing less ultra wide angle work atm.

That's brilliant Danny! Great example of making a lot from limited resources 😊. After you've made those additions next year it'll be a palace! Look forward to hearing about your trips

We'll be jumping back into campervanning next year (yippee!). We had one when our boys were wee, then sold it when they grew up a bit. The big ones left now... so time to get another van. Very much looking forward to re-entering the world of campervan nerdery

Nice varied set.

Really love the image of the hats and aprons on the hooks. I'd be tempted to crop the table out, but that's a matter of taste

Really striking image, I really like this.

You must have quite a set of images of the Emley Moor mast by now... I've seen highly original takes on it from you before. Be great to see them all together sometime
