I must be the only one who thinks the stones are better in colour, but the wood is better B&W

Lovely set of prints..

All very good points, but at the end of a review a cannon or a nikon is supeirior because of its video capabilities!
I bought a camera. I'm rich enough to also have a video camera which sits in the bottom of the cupbord because my phone does a better job, so that makes my camera not as goos as it should be..
After all they are camera's with video capabilities..
I personaly wouldn't mind if they dropped the video part and improved frames per second and the slighty glitchy focusing..

I have been watching a few reviews of the Pentax K1 lately, and I get realy wound up how they go on about its poor video option.
Why would you buy a dslr to take videos. They seam to give it a real downer,, go buy a video camera.
You wouldn't buy a city bike to go downhill riding, might be the best city bike in the world, but offroad downhilling it would suck...

rant over.
PS. have stopped watching reviews on you tube now..

welcome back, and a very nice set of photo's. It is difficult keeping motivated, I have missed out on loads of photo opportunities lately because I couldn't be bothered to carry my gear with me.. Getting my mojo back slowly. Hope to see more of you.

Got two accepted yesterday ( about 2 week wait )

That's a goodun. How long did it take to get an answer back, seems a very slow process.

very well executed

Profesional makes his/her living from his/her photos, an amatuer doesn't, that to me was not the question.
What makes a good photographer. An eye for a picture, and an eye for detail..Equipment only plays a small roll in the equation.. My tuppence worth on the subject..
