I also had a 126 fixed-focus instamatic. Can't remember the brand, but it wasn't good! Then after a few 110 cameras, a Zenit E showed me what cameras ought to be like.

Wow! (I love the phrase 'Backside Illumination' ...:lol

OT: Evolutionists often point out that the human eye has the 'wiring' (nerves and blood vessels) in front of the photo-receptors, which makes no sense if 'god' was designing the eye from scratch. Looks like the same holds true for CMOS sensors and the designers at Sony have either gone one better than natural selection, or God, depending on your outlook!

Just in case the K-7 is feeling a little left out with all the praise the k-x is currently getting:

1st Place: Pentax K-7

Choosing a digital SLR for our top award for 2009 has been a very difficult decision. We've seen some superb cameras this year, including the Nikon D300s, D5000 and D3x, the Canon EOS 5D MkII, 500D and 50D, the Sony A300 and A330, and the Olympus E-620. One camera stands out even in such esteemed company though, and that is the Pentax K-7. Although Pentax lags some way behind Canon and Nikon in worldwide sales, its digital SLR cameras have seldom been less than excellent, and at their best can match or exceed anything the mass-market competition can offer.

Well done Pentax

Re dpreview, I think they have always been very fair to Pentax, in fact I went with my first Pentax DSLR on the strength of a positive dpreview write up. My K200D got a 'Highly Recommended' from them and I believe the K-7 also won praise. Yes they point out flaws - but that is their job!

I think viewfinder wants Pentax to break from the rest of the DSLR pack, and really innovate. I would like to see that also, but I can't agree that Pentax cameras are poorly designed or problematic in the context of the Canikon competition. Quite the reverse, which is remarkable for a smaller company.

I haven't got HDR in my version of PSE, and didn't want to buy HDR software, so I was pleased to come across this freeware and have a play.

The site is here: link

I've already managed to get some HDR images using the software: link

Anyone else tried this software? If so is there any way of aligning the bracketed source images?

I've seen these in the UK a couple of times, but didn't manage to photograph the phenomenon as well as JudithAnn has here. It's an interesting phenomenomenon!

Yep. Beautiful shot!

Some great colour! I would certainly crop out the pipe on the extreme left and the car on the extreme right. In fact I might have gone for portrait format.

Juxtaposition or not, it's a belter of a shot!!
