Thanks for the kind comment. I thought most people would have thought footballers

Arrrrrrg it's floating there like a Zeppelin how did I miss it.
thanks for the kind comment too

Next visit maybe I'll be able to try a different pov, less blocks ?
Only use off white/cream mounts now It does look better in a black frame though

Hi Mike, Phil and Bill. Thanks for the feedback. I think the castle lacks detail too and will see what I can do (selected curve ? ) When the raw image is viewed at 100% the detail is there, can see through the arch way, that white dot in the middle of the castle Will try and get more contrast in the sky and enhance the sunrays. Good thing about digital it's non destructive
Failing all else, I only live an hour away from Bamburgh so perhaps can pick a better day to go and shoot it again. Some wit (well a half anyway) has painted the two furthest away blocks as a pair of dice so an exercise in cloning needed too

I should have said the exif says K5 16-45mm@38mm f/16 1/50sec ISO 100

An image taken at Bamburgh to show ancient, the castle, and modern, the concrete blocks, means of defence. C & C's please

I like the foreground but to me the bidge looks a bit too distorted, each end arch leaning in opposite directions, I'd try and get rid of the white S's too.

But then you'll have all the fun of playing with the iRon

Have you ordered one or two Barrie I'm buying a lucky dip lotto entry for the euro millions so fingers crossed eh

There must be a point to being pointless otherwise what is the point of pointlessness

Just seen this from a well known dealer

£85 trade-in

So my £20 RS1000 is worth £85

+1

Thats why I paid £1 to vote in a recent competition for an image taken with a Nikon and another on a mobile phone. Didn't see any Pentax entries anyway

Is that ANY camera like the car part exchanges

I wonder how many K5's will appear in the classifieds at £100, might be tempted to get a back-up and I could junk the worthless K7
