Last week I had a nice little walk around the little agricultural village of Ifonche, in Tenerife - on a wonderfully warm morning which seems a distant memory today

The farmland is terraced, with crops like potatoes and vines. It's high up, and the clouds enveloped the hillside briefly, before the sunshine broke through again.

All photos with the K-7 and 16-45, or Pentax-A 80-200mm.

Interesting face-like composition in 'Valve', great colours too!

Had to go out taking pics for work in Dudley yesterday. It was brutally cold, my extremeties were freezing and I mean all of them. I am not stepping out of the house today! Browsing flights to the Canaries seems a good way to while away the time, although i'm just back from Tenerife

Less than £60 return? Hmmm what am I doing next weekend...

If you go back to the article in the Kuwaiti Times, they have added a retraction and an apology. Heads are probably gonna roll in their editorial department!

I work at Jessops, and am not aware of Pentax being back on the books! I'd be pleased to hear that they are, mind - I recently bought my K-5 from another dealer...........

Welcome to the forum! I hope you won't take any denigration of Jessops on this forum too seriously, it's generally just tongue in cheek 'mock outrage'

Ian, you'll see the advantage of RAW when pulling detail back into 'burnt out' highlight areas and extremely dark shadow areas. The RAW file contains a little bit more information than a jpeg which allows this.

Typically RAW converters offer better noise reduction results compared to in camera jpeg processing, but the maybe that's more an issue for older bodies that struggle a bit more with noise than the K-r!

It looks good to me, 2.30pm looks more like the golden hour! It hasn't really added any dynamic effects from the motion of clouds and waves, but it seems to have done something interesting to the light. Don't suppose you took a regular shot to compare?

You have an incredible knack with that 10-17mm Mhuni. Even at the extreme end, your shots make great use of the distortion without looking gimmicky (which I guess is the fear, with a fisheye).

if someone wants to live in the stone age that's fine with me as long as it does not interfere with my life at all.

That's fine but I am guessing from the comments from photographers within the article itself, there are a lot of people in Kuwait who do not want to live in the Stone Age, and would like more freedom to express themselves and move the culture onwards. It's their battle not ours, but let's at least wish them well as they try to gain themselves more freedom of expression and less restriction regarding image-making.
