Nice set, but Stubble Field's really good, with that subtle minimalist approach to composition. X marks the spot!

Here's a K-7 shot at ISO640 link

I don't think twice about going to ISO 1000 - the grain is there but it's not going to show in a print unless you're talking larger than A3.

My only reservation about recommending this superb camera is the slight shutter blur on wide angle shots at around 1/80. This sees me avoiding shooting at 1/40-1/200 on wide angle shots where sharpness really counts, even thought the effect is slight.

The black and white unifies the image much better. In the colour shot the signs and the fountain fight for attention. The high shutter speed also works better with the water droplets.

The lubitel image is spot on Kris.

The site works fine, including the way pics are linked to externally! I really don't get the controversy about that. One thing i'd like to see is a video section, now our cameras have that facility. With the ability to play youtube clips within the thread as on the other forum.

I used to sit with the laptop on my lap (as you do lol) and often I would get up and trip over the power cables to my 3.5" drive, sending it flying across the room. After a while of course, it died! Since then I've always gone with USB powered ones that are much tidier. Might get a 1TB one for backing up stuff to though.

Is that a USB powered one Matt? Can't be bothered with yet another power adapter plug, which is why I've stuck to the WD Passport drives so far.
