thanks. I agree with your comment David , I thought it may have bee a mist-light interaction as it shows on the RAW file as well but that shot was more to show the scale of the place .so I was not too worried. an ethereal halo perhaps:

thanks again for the comments

thanks for the comments. the only thing scary about the place is you might step on an Adder in the Summer if you stray into the undergrowth apart from that it is a perfect place for photography, lots of subject matter, use the tripod without upsetting anyone , no hustle and bustle just wonderful peace and quiet

had a misty morning Tuesday so went to Stroud Cemetery to see if there were any "atmospheric" shots, this is the result with a bit of help from the NIK collection but no added fog as nature provided that.

1. A view over about a third of the Cemetery, the mist had cleared all but the top of the hills

3, Two Crosses



4. Blue Cross

i use back button and do prefer it but for CIF use "shutter button half press" for af must be on

thanks for all the comments, i loved that little harbour and could have spent the week there but "she who must be obeyed" was in tow so no chance. the pp on the car was to try to keep it but hide the car park it was in. the concrete barge had very little processing just a structure and saturation boost really. caught me out there Nigel

i only want it to be able to hand hold my macro lens as i can get a high shutter speed in poor light to overcome camera shake to help CIF in being accurate and a very shot burst of light that just lights the subject. this is what i got, the background was blacked out easily as it was quite dark anyway

thanks Nigel, you are right. i did go on and try other lenses and it does work with any lens where the camera controls the aperture . so A type lenses and all the Tamron Adaptall lenses as long as you use a PK/A adaptor are fine.

cannot seem to get higher shutter than 180 to show using manual lens such as Pentax M28 f3.5. the camera shows a higher speed until the flash is switched on when it drops to 180, flash unit is AF360FGZ. works fine with the Pentax 17-70. am i missing something or is it a limitation of this flash model that it does not allow HSS with M type lenses

seemed to loose interest a bit but a week away at the beginning of the month got me motivated again so a few of my favourites for perusal and comment

1.Sea Mist at Teignmouth



2. Cockwood Harbour between Starcross and Dawlish Warren



3. A couple of well used boats at Cockwood
