Love the B&W shot, agree with David about the Pelican shot, in fact it looks a little fake to me somehow, as though the pelican is superimposed?

Great stuff, haven't tried panos but having just bought a Sony RX100 which has brilliant pano execution I'll be giving them a go

Updated mine last night, no problems...having checked FF/BF of lenses yet but did do a before and after focus test with the DA17-70...no obvious difference as far as I could see

Not a pro but part-timer slowly building up...only really shoot landscapes, just managed to get my work into a 5th gallery/outlet and started last year running photography workshops...would love to go full time but I guess making a living from landscape photography alone would be difficult and portrait/wedding photography isn't really my thing

No brainer, 12-24mm over the 14mm every time...it's very sharp and obviously has a much greater zoom range

If you are newish member of a camera club, you will probably be baffled by the amount of letter that guest speakers and judges have after their names.

No idea what the majority of them stand for. Just know they take much longer to say than the persons actual name.

RPS doesn't appear to have the prominence it once had.
Funnily enough I've just been asked to do a talk at the local camera club in Mold, North Wales...maybe I need those letters after all

A couple of posts removed, do please remember that discussion of other marques is outside the Pentax User remit. Many thanks.
Just out of interest does anyone know of another photography forum which bans discussion on other camera makes...surely it's counter-productive to open debate. Wouldn't it be a positive move to create a section where members were allowed to discuss out marques?

The Nantlle ridge is one of the few areas I haven't walked in Snowdonia so it's still on my "must do" list, hopefully be up to it in a month or two, fingers crossed
