Howdy All

Does anyone know how photos get 'approved' for the Pentax Photo Gallery?

OK - so those with photos already in the gallery get to vote - but is acceptance based on some sort of approval %, or a fixed number of folk who give it the thumbs up, or what?

Without wanting to diss the Gallery - I do appreciate it as an means to display images I'm pleased with in 'large' format - I wonder exactly how strict the criteria are for images sneaking through. You may have gathered this from my signature

I've heard rumours that the DA40 Ltd is FF compatible.

In which case... I have one lens

Nice varied set John of one of my favourite parts of the world. The (last) shot of Blaven/Clach Glas is not a view of them I've seen before - and clever use of the foreground interest!

Wonderful colour and a terrific subject.

Did you take some closer shots / zooms (for instance of the windows at the top right hand side?)?

Really frustrating when you can't get the angles etc, but I really like this.

"Not my thing". Pah! Great set. All strong, and I can see why #2 is the pull, but I'm also really drawn to #1 !

You go away for a couple of days and what happens? MarkLJ returns to the Forum. All is now well with the world

Typically excellent landscapes, and the mono shots stunning.

4, 5 and 6 are standouts for me.

Mark - hopefully you'll find time to keep posting here. And I hope your new photography teaching thing is going well. Looks great/tempting!

#1 is cracking. Gotta love it when it comes together like this.
