I have always been 'yah boo humbug I don't like fisheyes' but many of these images are so nice I am being tempted, again. Is there no end to LBA?

Phew... nothing I "need" in that batch...

Should read £220

I know that feeling...!

I prefer to use a tripod but often end up hand-holding as I don't have it with me Usually with dire results I am sad to say. I have used anything to hand when I can such as a shoe, motorcycle saddle, rucksack, camera bag... These usually end up with me swearing as I can never quite get the picture how I want it. I've never used a monopod so cannot comment.

Cheers, Kris.

To the nice shot or the site?

I agree about the site, it is annoying and slow. I find it distracts from the pleasure of looking at some fine photographs. I also find the maximum image size (600 pixels high) rather small to appreciate the images too.

Excellent images. Two minor suggestions. In the first clone out the ?bug just under the petal and in the second I would try a tighter crop as I find the area to the right slightly distracting and a bit unbalanced with what is happening to the left.

Both of these are minor considerations though!

The MX varies widely in price, anywhere between £30 and £22 depending on condition but usually sells for about 80 pounds in reasonable nick. Add about £40 pounds to that if it is a all black one. It partly depends on the lens too, of course. If, under the polariser you have a 50mm f/1.4 it will sell for a bit more, 1.7 about average, f/2 a little less. The Tamron will go for between £50 and £100 pounds depending on condition.

Hope that helps.

PS I might be interested in the Tammy, and possibly the MX if it is a black one!

I feel I ought to thank those who commented on my picture of St Juliot church last June as it has just been accepted to the PPG. That and getting my new K20D from James has made my day although many other things have been a bit less pleasant.

Best wishes, Kris.

This is why I use a filter.
