@Barrie, @Gwyn

Have a couple of sets of triple spots showing. Normally I live at wider than f/5.6 so have not noticed this before. Will have to get a K-3 I suppose

Thanks for the comments, Will see if I can process a bit more.

Yep. Had a trio of lenses as a travel kit, 16-45, 50 f/1.4 and 55-300. All three punched above their respective weights.

Stains, but unfortunately out of warranty, Bought when released in 2010. By detail in foreground you mean the main rock structure?

Thanks Ronnie.

A bit of background to the shot. It was an outing with my photo club and I arrived home late from work to a text message telling me that as the weather was fine we were going to pop out and head to the beach
My K-5 was battery drained and charger had gone missing so figured I might get a couple of shots in with a manual lens. I took along tripod and a ND8 filter.
I started off with K-5 mounted on tripod and then for some reason or other got it into my head that I wanted to do a couple of f/1.2 shots handheld and then remounted. Mistake no 1, forgot to reset iso from 400 back to 80. Mistake no 2, was that I closed down completely to f/22 and seriously in the realms of diffraction territory (or so I am told). I was down on knees with waves just about reaching me. Mistake no 3 was that I probably should have set it to portrait instead of landscape. Set the K-5 to mirror up with 3 second delay and exposed for 20 seconds to smooth out the surf. When I got home, I cropped both sides and pulled in the top and tail slightly. As taken, it had a brownish / beige hue so I lowered the white balance temp and nudged vibrancy. We are reviewing our seascapes tonight and I expect to get hammered by one or two I don't care as I have a lovely A3 printout of this hanging in the hallway.

Another learning that I got is that my K-5 has oil spots on sensor. £280 to replace

I was using 'Clique' in this form DEFINITION
Paranoia does not come into it, it was / is an observation. Funny how you jumped on that though, very tetchy response methinks

I think people are generally quietly leaving the Pentax fold, or at least some of the characters have. On the Interweb in general it is all mirrorless this and mirrorless that with Fujifilm getting most of the attention. Great lenses are being developed by Sigma, Zeiss, Voigtlander and they are not coming to K-mount. K-3 may well be the best APS-C camera on the market, but it has been forgotten. You can see that in the classifieds section, great lenses at great value hanging around for days and weeks, whereas this time 2 years ago, would have been snapped up in hours.
As to the gallery, I think everyone is too polite , i'm sure I've put up 2 sets of images and they quietly disappeared after a day or two with a hundred views or more but no comments. My reading from that is that the subject matter was too boring, possibly, they didn't follow the correct photographic rules, possibly or that my technique was off, again more than possible. For one reason or another, they were crap but everyone who looked was either too polite to say so or just couldn't be bothered because I wasn't in the right clique
