Well done - really impressive images.

Welcome Kevin. You've found a really friendly, helpful forum - look forward to your posts!

Welcome Dave

Nice catch! Colours on the flowers are very saturated... which just very slightly draws attentions away from the beastie, but impressive.

Had a two night stopover in New York last month. Was supposed to be three nights, but spent 12 hours in Terminal 3 at Manchester waiting for the flight .

Giofi posted some NY pics back in May which I really liked - including some in B&W. So at the risk of extreme Woody Allen 'Manhattan' style pretension (Risk? A sure thing isn't a risk :roll...

Thanks for looking. All C&C / opinions gratefully received

Gosh. Following Mike's set another absolute corker.

Very jealous

Enjoy. Look forward to seeing your posts with it

There have been various RA pics on the forum recently but, for me, these are class above. Terrific. Particularly like 2, 5 and 6 (the trails are fabulous).

But viewing is still poignant given last weeks events...

Really interesting ship. Thanks for posting.

Though yet another demo of such ISO performance does absolutely no good for my camera envy (K5E? :wink. I spend quite a bit of time in museums on this summers vac... but was limited by the K7 (I rarely pushed beyond ISO 800... 1600 at most... which is clearly inadequate for this kind of stuff).

Given the number of photos they get sent, and the number of calenders sold, this is a very big deal indeed.

Many many congrats Steve. Excellent image that nailed their brief for this year. And just brilliant that they'll be pentax representation on the calender.
