A Panorama of several (I forget how many) photo's taken at Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, USA a couple of years ago.

Hope you like it.

Here are a few photo's I took a couple of years ago now.

I was going through some old photo's I hadn't done much with and decided to give these a pass through Photoshop.

Comments/suggestions welcome

2 & 6 are my personal favourites from this set.

Just to point out, the torch event in Dover is a ticketed event you have to pay to get into (despite it being on the sea front)

Presumably if I just stood somewhere in town with my camera they couldn't say anything.

My issue is more with the attitude of these event organisers towards SLR's.

Seems silly.

When I was in vegas I was setting up my KX on the tripod to get some shots under the Vegas sign when a real friendly guy with a 645D came up to me and offered to take a few shots for me.

Happily I agreed and got some nice shots as a result, he wasn't after anything just a friendly Pentax user, the complete opposite of this was the young lady also offering to take photos and then charging people for the service! Crazy.

This really annoys me tbh, the torch relay is coming through Dover tomorrow was hoping to get some good shots until I read this on their website:

"Additional prohibited items

Professional camera (SLR) with a lens bigger than 6 inches and/or video cameras or recording equipment. Standard compact cameras will be permitted."

Which seems to be in conflict with this, also on the site.

"Camera for personal use only. No pictures or video taken at the event may be used for commercial purposes."

It is for personal use, I wont be making any money from this, don't suppose that argument will have any weight though if the lens is over 6"

This has happened to me on a few occasions where I've been told to put my camera away, once was at a concert where I was sat with a VIP badge (I was with a band members family) and got told to put my camera away....blows my mind.

There seems to be a real issue with any organised event and SLR's, seems ridiculous considering we have such things as this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vtec-12x-Telephoto-Lens-iPhone/dp/B004V8VUXS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1342529413&sr=8-4

Would that not be allowed in??

Had a few keepers from the day, this is my favourite.

Hope you like it.

bump

From all the way back in January, the fun few hours I spent over the local park/hills, and left my KX on exposure bracketing for half a day by accident

Here's one of a swan that I liked.

£75 Delivered

Practically brand new, hardly used, not even 3 months out of the box yet.

Great lens for a great price.

And you get a lens hood.

I'll give it roughly a week before I try else where.
