Hope that is helpful
Mat, that's exceptionally helpful, detailed info. Just what I wanted to know and very much appreciated . I think this a genuine option for me.

Another cracking set. #1 and #9 for me - just fantastic images and compositions , and I suspect the processing has been very skilled too. You should run masterclasses...

Were some of these taken with that wee manfrotto tripod thing you mentioned?? If so, which model is it and how are you finding it with the K5? I'm potentially in the market for an ultra light camera support of some kind for travelling with...

Tim your comment on 7 made me smile - the reason being that this was the only shot I actually lightened the sky on - most of the others have some selected shadow enhancement. this one was so dark especially on the left I had to really beef up the exposure in LR4

Just shows you. Get a great exposure catching such a dramatic range of light, and some joker comes along and says.... (see above)

Look at the eyes

Stunning shot... and ISO 8000 deserves another

Great set, but #6 and #7 are standouts for me (although IMHO the sky on #7 is just a little over-gradded given the light on the moor).

Your doing me no favours in my 'resist LBA for a sigma 10-20 and grad kit' war at the moment, Carl .

Spent most of last night waiting, binoculars in hand, for a break in the clouds... two increasingly grumpy teens in tow. Without success

So great to see these- it really did happen

It was obviously rather fainter than I even imagined. Which makes these shots even more impressive.

Many thanks for posting. I'll be dragging the two teens round the computer screen later to show them these

Doingthebobs has one for sale on the forum at the moment link

I'm hoping someone else will step in and buy it to remove the temptation


But John's advice seems sound. My experience with the kit lens was good, and folk who have the 16-45 speak very highly of it.
