Lovely pictures and write up. And I know what you mean re small primes. People have seen my Pentax DSLR with a 50mm or 24mm attached and said 'Oh it's nice to see someone still shooting film'.

DA - does it stand for 'Designation: Amateur'?

My approach would be as above but change the layer mode to 'multiply' and then erase the lower part of the sky using a large eraser brush set to 40 percent and maximum softness - working it so the sky becomes paler towards where it meets the trees and so a little overlap between the sky and foreground doesn't look noticeable. In other words use the sky layer a bit like a soft grad filter rather than attempting to create a perfect join between the shots.

I don't want to know really, would rather the fun and games continued

I wonder if the Q sensor and features are going to make an appearance on future Optios, or would that damage sales of the Q itself?

The difference between 16 and 17mm is surprising isn't it? I noticed that going from my 16-45 to my 17-50mm.

Suspect you got a good deal though, somehow John

The re-worked shot looks fine. I don't see what else you could do... sometimes the light's just not with you and the sky is flat and white. On days like that, going for detail shots like the one of the sculpture will be more successful imo.

A little more contrast is needed I think - try a quick curves adjustment and the shots will become much richer. (Won't help the sky though! If you want to do a sky replacement - keep it extremely subtle, on a faded out layer... you just want a 'hint' of tones in the sky without looking dramatic.)

Actually I hold the lens and camera exactly the same way using CIF as when I manual focus - only difference is my finger is holding the shutter button down.
