Can't get the EXIF data up on the shot but would think it was the 16mm, would be interested in the f setting and the shutter speed, find it well taken and appealing. The composition is spot on and really draws you into the shot; I like the colour of the original best although I too may well have produced something more like the second. When you say it is from two raw shots do you mean the sky from one or are we talking HDR type process. Being new to landscape work I am impressed and have found your shot interesting, beautiful and instructive, thank you.

Can't say I noticed a magenta tinge, noise yes, colour no, but I do not often venture into the realms of high ISO.

Welcome John, look forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome James, hope you enjoy being with us, you will find those who can give help and advice on your equipment or work that is helpful and understanding.

I am not the one to offer advice on lens I seem to have far more than I need and the moment my screen is not busy with something else it seems to find it's way to the lens page of suppliers websites.

Looks good, just need to get the head round it.

Mike I love it, keep coming back for another look and my monitor will not take it all in one view. Resisted the urge to print it out as I think it would loose a lot not just the back light but the quality. First class for me and I would be pleased to have it on my wall.

Kenty's shot does not please me so much, it does not have the dynamic effect and although I enjoy the repeated pattern there is nothing to draw the eye into the shot and retain the interest, somehow no where on the shot seems crisp something which I feel these sort of shots require or they have no punch.

It would seem this building would be perfect for a set of shots as it seems to offer many views and angles to the viewer and I would think it could be revisited on many occasions and never reproduce the same results.

Would add I was one who reported problems but it was not really a K7 problem more one of the specification not giving the expected results. The spec. on the K20 view finder and the K7 are the same but the actual hardware is different which means I am unable to focus my camera's view finder so that I can read it. This means that I can only use AF and have to look at the top readout to check my settings. I am hopping that when I have seen my optician we may be able to sort this problem.

Mine is a first batch camera but I think this is a problem with the design not suiting my eyes and not a fault as such although I wish in a way I had bought another K20 as a second body and not the K7 but the deed is done and I will get there in the end.

Really love the colour one but not the greyscale, the colour tones are so good, subtle changes with a metallic glow, for me a beautiful image.

Thanks, so far the posts have been very helpful, seems that at the moment Lee filters are almost unobtainable but then that’s alright because I don't have the money at the moment either. The Hi tec looks useful so I may well go for them but will wait and see if anyone has any more suggestions.

Although I usually prefer colour I find myself drawn to number one, love the texture and the slightly menacing feel of the sail shadow.
