I might wait, I'm very pleased with the K5 at the moment so in no immediate rush..it does have something to compete with though so really needs to retain the qualities that have made me stay with Pentax so far

Thanks for the feedback, I'll have another look at the processing on 3.

Vic...sorry to catch you out but the Conwy Castle photograph was actually taken from Deganwy, it's a 250mm focal length shot, deliberatly so to try and get a slightly different angle on the castle...I also have quite a few more though taken from where you mention, so does everyone else who visits Conwy

Thanks for the feedback everyone...the last shot was taken at F16 to try for a starburst, here's another example of the same South Stack lighthouse

I mount all my own photos but don't have that much time on my hands so I buy the mounts precut from Cotswold Mounts - excellent company to deal with, sell the backs and plastic bags too.

I do frame some myself too but am moving increasingly more towards leaving that to the professionals, find your local framing company and see if they'll do you a deal

Hi Simon I have added you on Google + I hope you din't mind. How did you get a great website like the one that shows your photo's please?
Thanks, only setup the Google account this week....the new website has only been up & running a couple of weeks too. I used to use Clikpic but this is hosted by Zenfolio on the pro package which allows you to remove all of their branding...very pleased with the move so far, Zen provide a much more polished product than Clikpic

I like the one ot Penmon Point....I'm up for some serious photography up in N Wales this christmas holiday , you've inspired me Simon.

Mind you it's a shame that there's nothing worthy east of Moel Fammau to photograph
What are you trying to say about Flint, Shotton and Queensferry
Thanks everyone, the Penmon shot was taken this very week back in 2007 during sunrise, hence the strong lighting.

I'm certainly not getting involved in the conversation above
