I've had mine switched on my GX10 from day one, never had any dust issues so I'm not tempting fate by turning it off

Iuse Photobox, aswell as DSCL and whilst I think the quality of the DSCL prints are slightly better I've never had any problems with colour reproduction from Photobox..

Just to repeat what's already been said a calibrated monitor is essential if you want to try and assess your images...just to throw something else into the mix though modern TN LCD panels aren't particularly the best for accurate colour reproduction either !!

I've thought about it & I'm sticking with the GX10 for now, plan to upgrade with the next pentax/Samsung offering (K30d ?)

simon

looking around a bit they don't sound very promising, I won't be taking the risk

looks an excellent deal and i'm very tempted to upgrade my gx10...read some not so great reviews about saverstore though so i'm not 100% convinced

Thanks for the comments,

These were really intended more as "trial" shots to see how the composition worked out, the lighting wasn't great and I've tweaked shot 1 a little which has given it the magenta look..I've every intention of revisiting in better conditions, I think shot 1 probably conveys what I was trying to achieve composition wise

I appreciate what has been said about the watermark but a few past "incidents" has recently made me think I need to use them

Howard,

Not really sure I'm ready for Oriel Mon/Ucheldre..something I might consider in future though

thanks

Went for a walk along the Anglesey coastal path today, of course I had the camera too...walked from Trearrdur to a lovely little place called Rhoscolyn and I shot these 2 to see if they'd work..would appreciate some feedback

thanks

Hi Ian,

I recently bought the 10-20 too, find it a great lens but it's not for all occasions..initially I tried using it much of the time but because of the wide view the main subject of landscape shots can easily be lost..it really needs strong foreground too. I'm still learning with it myself as it does need a slightly different thought process.

Just one more thing about the Llyn in the shots I forgot to mention, it has a Celtic fairytale associated with it, here's the link for anyone interested..

Thanks for the comments/feedback..to answer a couple of questions etc..

I've reworked shot 1 to give it a little more "oomph", I do tend to err very much on the natural look side of things so rarely do much heavy processing. I've also looked at my other shots from the morning and have posted here another version of shot 3. (sorry for the smaller size but these are hosted on my website)

These were all taken with my Sigma 17-70, I did consider the 10-20 but didn't need the extra width for these.

thanks

Simon
