Admittedly, the surrounding 'landscaping' isn't quite as impressive...

I think it's understandable to be honest, but couldn't they just ask people to be respectful of the gravestones and not climb on them, rather than ban them entirely? I presume there are paths you can stand on etc.

It does tend to look less obvious if you set your brush softness to maximum. I didn't attempt to erase perfectly to the outline of the bee - just a large soft eraser brush applied over the general area, fairly loosely, avoiding the petals which needed to remain dark.

Very good printers they are too. Mine produces acceptable photo prints if you use their branded paper.

Well spotted Ken, I shall clone that black spot out, it's doing nothing for the shot.

Agree the humdrum houses and background clutter aren't helping much in the first shot as well. I think I only included it to give context to the others. Thanks for commenting, appreciate it.

Take the DA55, might be handy for low light stuff and night shooting, the 50-200 is not going to be useful to you in such situations. Daytime - 16-50 + 50-200, nighttime and indoor shots, 16-50 + 55mm

Pentax was the name Asahi gave to their reflex cameras. These cameras became synonymous with the company so they changed the company name from Asahi Optical Company to Pentax.

I think Pentax will stay!

I think there's a 28mm f2 which does justify a hefty price, as it posesses 'Zeiss DNA'. Perhaps the sellers of 35mm f2 lenses see the price of those and mark their prices up accordingly, or maybe even hope a purchaser gets confused?

Went back to where I shot this night shot, to take some more pictures for my company, who designed the memorial and the park landscaping. K7, SMC135mm f2.5 and DA15mm. C&C as straight to the point as your like.
