This is your fault Lilly, I'm colour popping everything since seeing your phone boxes in Helston! Anyway, shop keeper is out of sight inside shop.....

Well if you will go taking photos in that town Lilly............

That shot is close to where my wife works, and hence I know the town is quite depressed at the moment. The recent town improvements which dug up the main street for months have hit trade so badly, almost half of the shops have closed down. Additionally, there was a fairly major police operation centered on a house just out of shot of your picture a few months ago! Considering the above, local paranoia is running fairly high, and the traders are struggling to make a living. That said, it don't excuse such behavour!

Here's an attempt this afternoon- poor quality image, taken on my mobile! (Sorry it's so big and rotated, I have not sussed how to sort that out yet.)
Overall,
I'm quite pleased with it.





Lilly, if you had taken that photo Christmas eve you could have got an excellent action shot of me falling down that d@~! drain and almost breaking my leg!!

Whats the opinion on samsung kit? I'm looking at the 10-17 fisheye and the samsung is somewhat cheaper. Is it the same bit of glass with a different badge on? Or is it different and hence worth the extra for the pentax?

I have seen these advertised, and am guessing they are Cokin clones. Anyone tried them? Any good?

Time for a new type of photo competition:- pin-point the exact location!

Lilly, you are spot on

Dan, if i'm going to be picky, it's at least 150 meters up from Jessops, but you win for spotting it was Penzance in the first place

well deduced Dan, you are spot on!

Dan, I take my hat off to you! How could you possibly recognise Penzance from this image : I'm greatly impressed

A quick candid shot, K10 + tamron af70 - 300 at max zoom.

critique welcome- but be nice please, I've only had the camera a week and this was my second shot with this lens!

Ah ha! sussed with Picasa too
