been looking at some of the over-exposed shots from the series .

I've worked on this one - and a bit happier with this result

#4 now looks like this - still not idea - but I've learnt a lot working on this

Can anyone suggest any further improvements ?

Tim - the 16th 'box' is , if I recall correctly , the whole of the black bottom area . John explained that to us at the beginning when the boxes first appeared and a few of us queried it.

This is true - I do take things for granted so obviously will have to be more careful .

BIG lesson learned

Thanks everyone for the help

That's true and I didn't spot it

In fact all the shots after that were affected the same way - and I was not aware of having changed that. I'll have to look into that . The same thing happened to me last Summer in Belgium and it took me a while to spot it then . Hmmmmmmm

Ummmmm

Go and enjoy the Lakes Tony - good food [ do you trust anyone else's cooking ? ] and some good wine .

Glad things look good re the new drug - anything to keep Chemo away

OK - will see what I can do another day - thanks

At least the few decent ones I've got today have proved to me I can take some almost respectable shots .

Hmm John you may have got something there .

Between the 2 pics I had taken some shots of the weir - some good, some bad and then took one more of the 2 flowers - why they were there I can't imagine . I'd moved about 2 feet to my left for the weir
then back again and just decided to take one more of the flowers.

OK - will go back on another day and have another go with some more in the area - but the flowers won't be there

No Tim , not confident in Manual so avoid it when I'm out for a wander like this . I moved my body very slightly - it was at a slightly different angle and the sun was to my left in both pics . If you compare the position of the flowers you can see that the 2 pics vary slightly.

OK back to #s 1 & 2
not easy to get I know - but I've managed better ones in the past though they've not had the pale colours in the sky . I have to position myself for those ones so that a security light [ movement triggered but it stays on for a long time ] is hidden by the wall at the gatepost .

Not tried to do any bracketing with the K-x as yet - hasn't been needed till now.

OK - I think it's going to be time to get the manual out again and try and understand , spot metering , matrix and centre weighting . I've not managed it before which is why the K-x is left in centre weighting

They are centre- weighted .

Agreed #4 is over-exposed - but why ? It was taken about 5 mins later than #3 from a very very slightly different angle with the same fstop .
