Those giraffes are just wonderful. MUST be a marketableb shot, if you care about such things...
No, hadn't given it any thought tbh, I did think it would look nice on canvas on a wall though.

Thanks for all the comments everyone, I've edited the Giraffe picture due to popular demand!

Do we prefer this at 6x4?

Thanks for the comments!

We got lucky with the weather on the day, driving up it went from blue skies to dark and looked like rain was threatening, luckily it didn't rain and stayed nice and light.

It's a good park, even better with Tesco clubcard vouchers giving us free entry

I think 2 is my personal fav, the lions were such posers.

Dhumpy, I got it off an ebay shop, I'd imagine it's a grey import, but still, for the price it's an excellent lens.

Here are 3 of my fav's from my trip to Woburn on Friday.

You can view the rest of the set here.

This was my first proper time out with the DAL 55-300, I'm very happy with it.

No probs. Nothing worst than going out on a shoot and not realising you've left the camera in the wrong mode for 50% of your shoot... lol.

Enjoy.
I did this not long ago, I had the KX set to exposure bracketing without realising...resulted in lot's of swans with varying levels of exposure, wasn't impressed.

Oh and OP, k-x is a brilliant bit of kit, enjoy it!

Yeah driving back we went along the sea front, I was spotting shots out of the car window, loads of old boats, bits of engine and other junk by the looks of it.

looking forward to going back when the sky isn't grey and I need a coat.

nice shot btw.

Scrap that it's gone now, I restarted LR and it went.

Thanks again!

Thanks, I set the ICC profile in windows to sRBG IEC61966-2.1. This fixed the problem with photoshop and photo viewer but in lightroom I still get a yellow cast. It's not just the image either, looking at the histogram that's yellow aswell.

Yeah I think I prefer it with a bit of space too.

Any idea why photo viewer, light room, and photoshop seem to display whites with a yellowish tone to them?

In the picture, on the right hand side is how it looks in photo viewer, light room and photoshop, and on the left is how my browser displays the image. Also if I set the image as my desktop wallpaper the yellow tone is gone and it looks like the image on the left.

I have no idea how it looks on other peoples machines as a result.

Thanks Gareth, unfortunately I didn't get any more of this one, there was a load of kids crowding round it and for this split second it was all clear, only to have another kid stood in front of it moments later.

But yeah, I was quite chuffed with this one.

I used the Pentax M 50mm f1.7 for this, amazing lens for aquarium work, performs so well in the low light.
