Ditto, nice colors and textures here.

Stunning photograpy, once again. I have a personal preference for what I'd consider the more intimate shots (4, 8, 10), but you certainly have the Night Time Thing going!

Back from a two week stay in Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare, I'll be sharing a few landscapes as they get processed. Burren is such a beautiful place to drive/walk around, and the small town of Ballyvaughan a great place to simply relax and enjoy a cozy peat fire at the cottage before going out to O'Loclainn's pub for a pint or a dram (and a song or two or three...) And mid-april (our favored vacation time) is just on the edge of heavy tourism time, so we got to enjoy the locals without feeling part of the overnumbering party

I only took one lens, so all pictures were taken with the M28 f3.5.

For starters, a couple of images of a church ruin near the town of Carran:

Great!

Very nice textures and interesting light. I find most of the image is happening closer to the center so I would agree with pschlute that a square crop would work well.

Nice textures through the mono treatment, which pulls the muscari towards an abstract image. I'd probably go for a less contrasty look, as I'd be going for the delicate side of the flowers. Your perspective works

Nice tones overall. I like the last image in particular, it feels more engaged with the subject to me.
I appreciate "dull" days for photography - the very diffuse light brings out less blatant characteristics in subjects.

Ah, that's not what I meant. I've actually had little to no problem at all with the screen itself, it's simply that looking at it (in a landscape context) I just don't "feel" the view. I don't have that problem for other types of images (concerts, (environmental) portraits, objects... with which I feel much more physically engaged, even through the screen. Probably because I am much closer to them. I'll try draping something over the camera though, it may help to "focus" my mind on the subject.

That's always a good thing

As I said to David, the problem is more about "feeling" the image (which I "see" in my mind's eye) through the screen. A problem I only encounter when doing landscapes. Your suggestions are duly noted nonetheless!

...which I very much enjoy!

Thank you. I do appreciate colour photograpy, but I have a preference for B&W (and am quite aware of the extended set of skills I'd need to spend time developping if I wanted to delve more deeply into colour) .

Thanks

Thank you. It did turn out as I was hoping it to, but taking the shot felt like a guessing game.

I must admit I wasn't sure I was making the right choice when I bought the K-01 (but it was on closeout and half the price of the K-30). I felt comfortable right away though. I still think an ovf would suit me better but the lcd is generally fine. Evf's on the other hand... definitely not for me.

I agree. For people shots however I'm sufficiently close that I feel quite involved.

I'm near-sighted, so I hold the camera very close to my face and look at the screen over my glasses

Maybe I did And, thanks

I got those all of a sudden on my previous phone. They would show up when browsing one specific website/forum. My thinking is it got installed through a downloaded app (bundled with it, but not blatantly so). I've no idea which one though... I hate the malignant nature of much of today's "advertisement".
