Wonderful images Andrew, as usual. Ajar and barred and bolted stand out for me. The building's history and upcoming demolition makes this a particularly poignant set. Would make a great local exhibition. Perhaps even with some images from the building's heyday (if the owner has any), maybe also some shots of the demolition.

Excellent shots, and interesting write up. I think the vignette is a good idea but I wonder if it could be a bit subtler - perhaps in ps you'd have a bit more control?

Brilliant baffling and bizarre! Very Japanese. They relate to technology in a very unusual way.

Wonderful shots - yes, very 3 dimensional. The flowers look like the humble osteospermums you see in summer bedding displays in the uk. They have much more impact en masse in their natural environment.

Don't forget our figures include the mountainous areas of the uk, Stefan! It rains a lot more in the hills, which is a price more than worth paying for interesting terrain. I love the Netherlands but i'm a derbyshire lad and have a fondness for hills!

That little k200d is going to feel spoilt, with that lens! (Not to mention a bit small!) Delighted to see you're staying with Pentax and you've picked a really nice camera - a very sensible choice for a relatively modest outlay.

It does. The hood is retracted on the pics to allow the clean unscratched front element to be seen. The k is actually etched on the front of the lens barrel rather than the hood!

Battle scarred but optically sound 200mm Pentax M telephoto lens. I have used this lens and its very nice - but I tend to use my 80-200 zoom in preference, so its up for sale.

The paint is a little worn and chipped, and someone has etched a 'K' into the lens hood! (See pics).

Mint examples of this lens sell for around £90 or more on evilbay. I'm asking for £55 OVNO + postage, in recognition that the lens is not cosmetically perfect.







If no-one makes an acceptable offer, I will place it on ebay in a week's time.

Payment by DBT or cheque preferred.

That crop is very well judged Kris - really realises the shots potential to the fullest.

You post some pics to show us limeys what it's like that side of the pond. And what do you show us? A castle!

Just kidding of course. Nice shots. I like the graffiti. Weather looks nice - it was pretty good here too, sunny and verging on warm
