Actually - the aim on this 'wander' was really to see how well I could get the detail on the stonework - it's fantastic - and I certainly am surprised at the ability of the K-x to get it so well defined. Building number three is actually about 4 floors up !

Thanks for the tip Kris, in sorting out the converging verticals - I needed that since I realised it had to be done , but wasn't sure how - I foresee some struggles here - I'm just not getting on with PSE - dunno why , but I'm not

Tim - these Glasgow buildings have lots of beautiful red sandstone or grey sandstone [ which is a misnomer 'cos they are a sort of pale honey ]in their construction - the colours are so lovely [ Gartmore and Mr Cynical ?? ] that I sometimes feel people should be made aware of this .

Oh I'll carry on shooting stuff like this till I get it 'spot on'

well some of them

Again - all straight from the camera - some tweaking is needed but this will take time due to lack of skill with PSE.

Now that's a brilliant idea

Once I can sort things out , trying to play with one in PSE at the moment and it's driving me bats , I'll put up some of the type of thing I really enjoy getting - bits of stonework - and we have some lovely stuff

I enjoyed this morning's wander - the first one I've been able to do with the K-x - all the other outings since it came home were to try and get specific things for my class - this lot are all for ME

Can't do anything about the wall/parapet - it's there And I only took the 18-55 with me - that was at 40 . I think to get the head properly is going to be difficult - I'll need the Samsung for that . Can always try - fortunately the street is pedestrianised

Felt a bit better , sun was out so hopped on bus and went to Town. Of course as soon as I did that the sun fled the scene and we were back to grey skies again. Took 64 pics on the K-x and I've kept 59 for a better look at them .

Never managed this one with the previous cameras . I realise there's a lot wrong with it , but it's a good start

Should say - this is straight out of the camera - no tweaking or anything has been done . What I got is what you see

My Optio P70 is white , very shiny and surprisingly heavy .

The only problem I have with it is the short wrist strap - it won't wrap twice round my wrist to keep it safe - it's too short and there isn't a slider on it to tighten it up to my wrist for security. I would prefer a thin lanyard round my neck for it

sitting on the fence like most of us ?

"Course not

It's 4 up from there and on the other side

Just about

Agreed Andrew - it's a great shot .

But does everything have to be converted to monochrome ?
