Thanks everyone for the useful feedback.

Regarding "central horizons" I admit that I often concentrate much of my attention on picking out foreground detail & forget to check the horizon position. As with all rules sometimes I get away with breaking it & sometimes I don't.
It is one of the advantages of having 10MP too, at least it still possible to crop images when needed without losing the ability to print at a decent size !!

Following on from my previous post I thought it might be interesting to post several of the lighthouse photos I shot during the "session" I ask for preference & the reason why. Appreciate all the feedback I can get !!

thanks

Hi,

I'm seriously considering the 10-20 to compliment my Sigma 17-70 (which I'm delighted with), looks like it takes equally good shots

Howard - well spotted, Llanddwyn it its - must surely be one of the UKs best beaches

Tony,

Thanks for the suggestions - I've cropped the 4th shot as suggested, definitely works better.

As a follow-up to this thread I've created a new one hoping for peoples thoughts/preferences of the lighthouse shots

thanks

Thanks for the comments - to be honest I have around 20 different shots taken of the lighthouse, spent 1.5hrs there just watching the tide - pretty impressive (& colder than it looks in the photos too!!)

The 3rd shot was one of the "spur of the moment" ones. I was walking around Beaumaris looking for something to shoot & it just appeared infront of me & then disappeared with 2 minutes.

Weather forecast was good yesterday so out of bed early & off to Anglesey again, main objective was to catch a decent Penmon lighthouse shot - managed a few others too

Thanks for the reply - just also came across the Tamrac adventure 6, seems to have the advantage of straps to attach a tripod to - Low Pro doesn't seem to provide this

Just looking for a bag to use whilst "day hiking" with my GX10 (K10D) & wondered if anyone has the Orion Trekker II by Lowepro

Ideally I would be able to fit some waterproofs, perhaps a small fleece etc in with the camera gear

Thanks for the links - very helpful.

the second link states the FA 1.4 stopped production in 2004 though, I have just seen one onsale brand new - I'm guessing they've started remanufacturing again ?

Currently looking a lens purchases - (Christmas is coming !!) & have already posted about a wide angle options.

I'm also looking for a decent portrait prime - mainly for indoor use. I just came across this whilst browsing, seems a decent enough price, anyone any user experience - does it autofocus on the K10D ?
