Fantastically useful explanation, Mark. Many thanks

Following greynolds post, another incredible demonstration of the power of photographs, although in a much much more sober vein. 10 years and I'm still profoundly shocked and moved by images of this.

Warning - difficult viewing.

Just what I thought. They're mesmerising . And as for the hair on his fangs (or whatever they are)...

Great set.

Stunning location . So it's not suprising we're all wanting to know where it is

You've captured some lovely lines in the waterfall itself. Did you take any close ups?

All quite astounding stuff , but I found the one of the space station in front of the sun particularly incredible

Thanks for posting greynolds

Welcome Dave. Great part of the world, Skye. I've had both the 18-55 and 50-200 WR on the K7 out in pretty heavy rain with no problems. One of the joys of Pentaxt - you can keep snapping when others would have to tuck their cameras away . Good advice above on cleanig products.

I really love the expression of the guy in #1 - for me that's a great catch. But there's quite a bit going on colour and shape wise in the background which is just slightly distracting. Maybe worth trying mono like Aliengrove suggests or similar to try to tone this down and keep attention on the geezer.

I know that family vs photos feeling all too well

Terrific set - and like the others #6 is the pick.

But given recent price trends, I wish you folk would stop showing such great high ISO K5 shots.
