We need a supertelephoto lens!

The supertelephoto lens is too expensive, we need a long zoom...

It'll be expensive...

We need a mirrorless camera!

It's too small, why can't we have a k-mount one?

Wow that K mount mirrorless is big and boxy... we need a smaller mirrorless...

Pentax need s pro-spec camera.

Blimey, that 645D is expensive, Pentax should make a FF camera!

There have been some quite astonishingly good sets on the 'Your Photos Forum' this weekend. I therefore feel the need to balance this talent with some examples of howling incompetence.

Nevertheless, useful lessons were learned

Semi-salvageable if I were to use the wizardry of lightroom, but still a schoolboy error.


C+C NOT required in this instance, thankyou

Smashing set. I too like the Black Cats & the Chinook, although the cats look a little to close for comfort

Really great image, and nice sunburst effect. Which lens?
