Nice shots, apart from the colour popped image which I presume you just did to stir controversy!

I particularly like the second image; the light glinting off the ship and the rock is sublime - I bet it would look amazing as a huge print.

You have to visit Bosherston Lily Ponds 51.613726,-4.926002 and nip across the coast path to Barafundle Bay 51.618176,-4.9033. On a sunny day you'd think you were on the Mediterranean!

This one's a must if you head up towards St Davids - a spectacular coastal walk with interesting industrial relics, deserted sandy beach and an excellent pub next to a tiny harbour:

Start at Abereiddy 51.936645,-5.206068 and go along the coast past the blue lagoon 51.937863,-5.209115 and down the steps to deserted sandy beach Traeth Llyfn 51.942678,-5.198858. From Traeth Llyfn go on to Porthgain 51.948392,-5.181777 for fresh Abercastle Crab and a pint at The Sloop!

How much thinner could the camera be though? Still needs a mirror box. By far the thickest part of my K30 is the grip. And I like that deep grip. The thickness of the body/lens mount seems pretty inconsequential.

OMG no, it would definitely not be worth it for DSLRs... ditching lens compatibility for what would be a few mm difference (since there is still a mirror to clear, albeit slightly smaller), and scrapping any possibility of developing a FF camera?

Very well noticed and taken!

The Q isn't K mount. No reason why they have to keep the K mount on ALL cameras they come up with in the future. The K-01 would have been nicer if it had a set of lenses designed for a shorter reg distance, and an adapter to use K-mount lenses. The body would have been more compact and there's no reason the lenses need to be massive. Not a pocketable package maybe, but perhaps more like a classic SLR and less like a housebrick.

But I don't think Pentax have (had) the resources to pull something like that off and go head to head with the NEX/NX's already in the market.

The ones taken by Middleton's Dad ARE the official ones, they have been released by 'Da Palace'. They looked pretty nice to me, yes the bleached out background looked amateurish but otherwise they were nice pics IMHO. I couldn't believe the amount of time given over to this on last night's news - 'do the pictures represent a change in how the monarchy wants to represent itself?' Nicholas Witchell was asking, as if this question somehow had earth shattering consequences....

Sony look like they're going to get there first. The silver lining is at least it will take Pentax lenses (MF only).

Sky still looks an unnatural, dull blue to me. Much less so in the second shot though. There are also blocked up highlights in the upper tree trunks. Beautiful crisp shots otherwise though!

Would be interested to see the originals. I'm not sure why the obsession with re-creating DR which the camera seems to have failed to actually record at the time of capture. (If that makes any sense!)

Yes its a sort of dirty cyan colour; and the edge of the selection is very obvious (to me). Using soft selection edges and accepting that the edges of the trees will be affected would probably look more natural. What's so wrong with white skies anyway? I'm happy with a white sky that includes just a little cloud detail. It looks more natural to me.
