I find with the weight of the K1 + short or long zoom being on the heavy side, I often now use a prime on its own if I want a walkabout lens for a day.

I don't find this restrictive as long as I have given some thought to the focal length beforehand. Indeed a bit like my recent forays into b+w film, I find working with a single FL concentrates the mind more regards framing and thus make one think more about the shot beforehand.

the processing is a little better but the crop is what really makes it
Thanks. I wish the dodging/burning took as long as the cropping did !

And the bridge is now so clear that it justifies the title.

Thanks Steve.

Yes well done. Very interesting too for you to be the "subject" this time.

Some lovely shots too from the day

Great angle on the first and I too like the second. The light shining through the "gloves" is lovely

OK here is the final version. I used a 16:9 ratio. After Dodging/burning I added a Gaussian blur to everything except the bridge and added a vignette for good luck !

We have all been in the garden enjoying the sunshine !!

The two colour ones display a nice bokeh and show off the skills of that lens (and you of course) well.

The first b+w i don't like. I find the negative space a bit too big, and the change in background tone distracting.

2 is a cracker. Model communicating with the viewer, hair gone a bit scrunchy....perfect.

Thanks for the input. I had a few recommendations for the pano format on another site too. I will give it a go.

I had lacklustre comments on various fora for the original of this picture. I decided to give it a makeover and try again in b+w

Am I wasting my time or is there something here ? Please be honest.
