Thanks for that Smeggy

Here is the first shot, with a tighter crop to remove the jump upright, and straightened in line with the jump bar. Also the face slightly lightened.

About time I posted some pics, so here are some from a dog agility competition I attended. Trickier to get good shots than I thought, as there were lots of people, dogs and background objects getting in the way. Also, all the arenas were quite compact, and full of agility jumps etc, so very hard to get clean shots and good focus.
All taken with K-3 and Tamron 70-200 f2.8, mostly wide open, and all quite heavily cropped.

I agree with Fletcher, I like the use of the roof shadows to give these images that point of difference.

Someone on the other forum made a small program that scans your folders and automatically corrects the Exif data for any shots taken with the Sigma 8-16mm.

It did not work "out of the box" for me, and thinking back I believe I had to use a different version of Exiftool and update one of the .dll files, but it works well for me now.

It can be found here:

One of the locations missing from the list is Jade Mountain in St Lucia.
This is my kind of hotel room

I have one of those as my travel/hiking tripod and it is an amazing bit of kit. You can easily walk around with it clipped to your belt, and it will hold a K-3 with Tamron 70-200mm no problem. Folded, it is about half the length of my Giottos 9351b.

If Banksy were a photographer, his images would look like this.

7287.5mm (35mm equivalent: 40664mm)??

Great shots!

Well I guess from a security point of view, not everyone wants their home address easily accessible to everyone, especially advertising the fact that your home contains lots of expensive camera and computer gear.

I have a 60l one that I bought off Ebay. I think there is only one UK seller that imports them from Singapore. I needed one due to living in a 300 year old cob and thatch cottage, at the bottom of a river valley, so my humidity is often above 70% The dry cabinet keeps everything at around 47% and is adjustable. Most homes of a standard construction in the UK should not need one though. I would recommend getting a cheap humidity meter(less than £10) to test your home's levels.
