The last one is the best of a lovely set of images. I would be tempted to tone down the saturation of the greens a little though, they seems a bit day-glo (although I am looking at them on a unprofiled laptop monitor!).

Great stuff. K.

Hopefully they won't mess it up too badly! I know it gets criticised for being old fashioned and not updating very often, but personally I like a bit of stability.

The easiest way to post an image from flickr is to:

a) go to the image on flickr at the size you want to post it
b) right click on the image (in Firefox and Iron at least, I assume other browsers too).
c) choose "copy image url"
d) come here, click on the image button to get the image tags in your message and then paste the URL between them.

Pretty simple really and certainly less of a pain than setting up yet another image hosting account...

I've had split screens fitted in both my K10D and my K20D without any impact on the AF whatsoever. I managed to get a katzeye split screen second hand and have never looked back. Best thing I ever bought to go with the camera. Much more useful than, say, the grip which I never use.

I've just put eight rolls of Fuji Neopan 1600 in my freezer. Given that it has been discontinued and 7dayshop are selling five-packs for a reasonable price, I treated myself to ten rolls.

The first appeals to me the most of that set. I like the out-of-focus audience in the background. Makes more of a story.

As you have just bought an M50/1.7 for your macro work why not try it (the right way round) for portrait work to see if the focal length is what you would like? The DA 55 f/1.4 is an expensive lens and to be frank, the half stop and five mm difference isn't going to be hugely different, although the lack of AF will be. I'm assuming the IQ will be better on the DA but that is only an assumption. For a few test runs the M50 will at least give you a good feel for using a fast prime.

Some really excellent images in that set.

The de la Warr pavilion is a famous structure, especially the spiral staircases. Nice images of an architectural icon.

I'm impressed you spotted the wood mouse let alone managed to get an excellent photo of it. Great shots.
