Fascinating- thanks for the explanation.

I agree

Me too.

Welcome - I look forward to seeing some of your images.

Thanks for all the advice, it's much appreciated. I now have an idea of what to put on my next birthday list!!!

I'm interested in doing a bit of experimentation with using flash. I'll principally be working in manual mode so can anyone recommend which of the Youngnuo flash units and triggers will work with my K-5iis?

I'm avoiding the Pentax flash units as they are far too expensive for my pocket. However, a Canon using colleague only uses Yongnuo as his speedlights and strongly recommends them as excellent value for money but he didn't know which models work on Pentax.

Some crackers in here. I particularly like the Sheep, the snow drift with twig, the monochrome figure through the snow and the dogs. Good job.

I'm always going through Ripley, but I rarely stop and look as you obviously have done. Is no. 3 the guitar shop?

Some more from the Butterfly display at RHS Wisley. These were taken last week while the snow was around which meant that the glasshouse was very much quieter than usual. Maybe they should arrange for snow every year! All were taken with K-5iis and Tamron 70-200 with an on-camera Metz 44 AF-1 flash, all handheld.
