Second one is much closer to what I'd expect - 1st one is way to yellow

That's the one I have - very good !!

I use photobox at the moment but am also looking elsewhere..

These guys have been recommended to me, they supply ICC profiles which is a big help - prices are very good too.
I print quite a lot at 18x12" & Photobox charge £5.99, DSCL charge £0.99

I'll be using them for my next order so will post my "results"

I use RAW 100% of the time, just gives you that "safety net" if you don't quite nail the shot

simon

As John mentions the 1st too don't look 100% sharp, the other 2 look very nice..

The colour/contrast rendition of the 55-300 is something I'm very pleased with - this is one of the weaker areas of the Tamron 70-300 imho

I've a couple of Porth Dafarch shots I haven't processed yet, not great ones though - I've a distant South Stack shot on the site & after this recent visit I have other shots in mind for the area, I'm awaiting the best sun position & some nice colourful foreground heather though !!

The coastline along Trearddur isn't ideally placed for shooting at this time of year

thanks

simon

Another shot from the same position, think I prefer this one

simon

Thanks for the replies...

The shot was taken at 1/50sec & to be honest I did make the mistake of not using a tripod - this limits my PP options as the iso was quite high

simon

Had a stroll along the coastal path from Trearddur on Anglesey last night & took a couple of shots, here's one

All comments welcome

Whilst the K20D certainly improves upon the K10D I'm also in the line of thinking that its not such a radical improvement that its a "must have" over the K10D.
The Live View is unfortunately very limited regarding functionality in most DSLRs, including the K20D - if I was buying based on this feature only Sony seems to be making the best of it.
I'm hoping that now the sensor development costs have been spent on the K20D more money will be available to spend on other features on the K20D replacement - if so that's the one I'm much more likely to upgrade to
