these were taken with an un converted K5 11s and Tamron adaptall lenses which have the IR focus points on. that means that if i buy a converted camera it can be any make that i can get an adaptall converter for so no need to buy more lenses. the downside to unconverted is the long exposure, you do need little or no wind for the vegetation but sometimes even that being a bit blurred can look ok

2, 6, 9, 11, 12 and 15 for me are just brilliant , they all belong on a gallery wall.

first one looks like the chap from "Poltergeist", quite scary

i always use a tripod at least once on holiday when using my 10 stop filter so would not travel without it. i have a "3 legged thing" punks version but i see now they appear to be only doing carbon fibre and no mag alloy ones so they have become very pricey compared to what they were. the other i have is the large Gorillapod which is very handy and versatile. you can literally wrap it around anything to gain a support and never had a problem supporting K5 11s plus DA*16-50 when i had one which is quite a heavy lens , now have a Pentax 17-70 again no problem or with the A70-210 ALL METAL lens

thanks peeps, went with Recuva. only one problem they have had the money yet i have no activation email , have sent three messages and had no reply so at the moment not a happy chappy

got home from holiday and was transferring images from camera to computer and deleted a folder in error, is there a decent free recovery tool to get them back or at least one not too expensive?

2 for me , love the colours in that sky, have seen very similar down on the Lizard and you just wonder where they come from. beautiful

does not work for me i'm afraid, not strong enough variations in tone

can't say i have seen a bad report on the 16-45 and it does not come up for sale very often so that to says to me people are still happy with it even after all this time. you can always carry a rain cover it does not take up much room then treat yourself to a Sigma 10-20

had a meet at Stratford organised by BlipPhoto, met a nice group of people and had a nice day. i am not that keen on Stratford personally as i feel it a bit over rated even more so when heaving with tourists as it was. still the sun shone and the ice cream was good

The Guild Chapel, considering how bright it was outside this place seemed to not let that in and was quite dark in comparison



Stannals Bridge, just outside Stratford by the race course (free seat). an old iron bridge supported by a stone one over the Avon which unfortunately was obscured by undergrowth so another trip needed later in the year i think.



Holy Trinity Church Stratford, again a lot of plant life in the way but the scene just had an air of tranquility about it amid all the activity going on around me
