Wow, stunning! Wonderful detail and the reflections are eye popping.

This guy was featured in PU this time round, in one of the best articles I've read in the magazine.

Very nice JudithAnn, but yes, I can see noise and a bit of blur! My advice is to use a tripod, with the ISo set to 100. (Use the 2sec self timer so the camera is absolutely steady!) Without a tripod, you need to find something solid to hold the camera against and use a higher ISO to keep the exposure time reasonable.

Can I borrow your tinfoil helmet, K10D!

Hurray, no more snow overnight in Brum!

Had a lovely time in the snow in Derbyshire on Sunday morning (the snow in Birmingham today I could do without to be honest, as I'm commuting to Leamington )

Anyway, Sunday:

I love hings that are transformed by a covering of snow... hogweed seedheads, the remains of sprigs of blackberries, drystone walls etc. Landscapes are difficult as an expanse of snow is not a very interesting foreground! I have to admit the excitement of photographing a world transformed by snow sometimes doesn't translate too well into my pictures...

This thread is for discussion of the latest competition - see here for entries: link

Like Haworth, I may have to announce the winner on Monday morning (11th Jan). But I'll do my best

No.5 is just brilliant Judith! Was up in Derbyshire this morning... very similar scenes, such fun to photograph.

Agree on the 50mm, but also consider either the sigma mini-wideII or super-wideII, both fairly fast and close focusing, sharp manual lenses (28mm and 24mm).

That said, I agree the 18-55 is fine for most purposes...

The K-7 will only come down in price if you wait. I would get a slightly smaller TV and put some money into the K-7 fund though - I am sure your wife will understand! A few lenses sold would also make a contribution - you admitted you don't know why you keep some of them!

Enjoy your TV and your K10D and enjoy the anticipation of getting a K-7 in a few months.

(Edit - alternatively, get your son to break something else! :lol
