I found this Jules...

These are beautiful Shaun - the third is my favourite; superb composition with the red boat (I won't make any comments about how you could colour pop it - I think it's getting old now! :lol

How did you process the skies? When I look very closely, there's a slight blur to the skyline. They are really lovely skies though, with beautiful subtle colours.

Nice spot, Dave. Great to cool off on a day like today.

I reckon you should be more worried about your lenses being up to the resolving power of your K30's sensor, than the other way around. The K30 has excellent IQ, probably a dead heat with the K5ii. And better than the original K5. Pentaxforums called it the 'best Pentax DSLR ever' when they reviewed it. And remember, good lenses don't lose value like bodies do, and they'll serve you for years to come, after you get the next body, and the next one...

Only time I've seen lenses clearly not up to the resolving power of a sensor, is when people mount their K-mount lenses to their Pentax Q.

RAW shooters always just want that 'little bit more' though. I've been using OOC jpegs from my K10D more and more often (although I usually shoot RAW+, just in case!) The jpegs look a bit dodgy at 100%, but already have a nice pop that saves a ton of editing time. For me it's a balance between wanting to use RAW to primp every last drop of quality from the sensor, and my eagerness to get finished shots from a shoot which are certainly good enough - especially if you're displaying on the web anyway

Any update on this John? Or have you tossed it in the bin

Yeah, these old members always come crawling back when they've got something to flog

Cheers Pentaxprime - I did do it like you said but it still didn't work. Never mind - as I don't have my own resized versions, I've downloaded from flickr at 800 size, and re-uploaded here:

Thanks Gary, you're right - I've no excuse cos I did have a little homeycomb grid, and another flash, on me. With some helpful comments on the first three already, I'll drop another few shots - one flash and two ambient.

I agree Steven. Luckily we got some full length shots with a more neutral background too.
