I really like number 1, and the contrast doesn't look too high on my monitor but it uncalibrated and not very good! Looking at it large it might be a tad too high. What does the histogram look like?

With the last one I wonder if a square crop with the bottom three yachts might work? Perhaps clone out the buoy and the motorboat? It works as it is, just playing with ideas as ever.

Nice to see some sun!

Best wishes, Kris.

Great shots from Herculaneum and Pompeii.

The spring loading you describe is a feature of the Auto Takumar series which was made between the Takumar presets (the first Asahi M42 lenses) and the Super Taks with the more standard automatic diaphragm. Lovely looking example of this lens. It would be nice to see some pictures taken with it.

Best wishes, Kris.

Hiya all.

I hope you'll allow my image as there is one cheat in it. Five of the six images are within the allowed time frame but I had to cheat and use an older image of the moon. They were, however, all merged and edited within the time frame. I hope that is OK?

Best wishes, Kris.

Composite of six images. Five taken 11/05/2010, all K20D and SMC-M 100mm f/2.8 lens with AF360FGZ and AF500FTZ flashes. Composite image created in PS 12/5/2010.

I hope I am allowed one cheat: the moon image was taken earlier although still with Pentax equipment.

Best wishes, Kris.

That explains the whacky bokeh! Unusual take on dandelions, excellent idea!

changing the mount is only sensible in this situation. The best way to go would be a new mount with a sufficiently short register distance to allow space for complex adaptors for a wide selection of DSLR lenses.
That is exactly what I was arguing for.

Absolutely fine.

It is interesting to those who do! It is making me rethink my approach to photographing war memorials.
