Ok i've been quiet on here and it's because i've been busy travelling and taking photos, about 5000 to be exact, ok i'm sure not much is usable but there are some gems.

I have to admit my most used lens has been the DA WR 18-55 and I must admit for a cheap kit lens it has consistently delivered. From time to time I whip out the Fisheye for those special temples, the FA50 for night shots in the Luxor temple and the DA50-135 every now and then.

These photos are mostly untouched aside from a LR Profile I use which combines the Punch preset with the K7 camera profile. Originally using LR my photos kept coming out dull and lifeless until I found that changing the camera profile from adobe default to the K7 one really brought out the colour. My poor K7 has been exposed to all sorts of desert sands, water, soft drink, changing lenses the time etc. It's pretty much performed without any major hiccups, other than one strange freeze up which was cured by removed the battery. Only drama I'm having is the rear E-dial is really twitchy however I compensate by using the dial on the grip.

I have been using a cheap Cokin CPL I bought in Istanbul which I am both happy and disliking of as it adds a colour cast.

Now I present my taste of Egypt, please take the time to go through and give feedback, a lot went into this. I tried to get away from the usual Cliches of Pyramids etc.

Now first my Panorama of the Aswan Dam

Some great shots. My favorite one was you on the bottom of the pyramid, looking up with the fish eye lens. It really showed how steep and tall they really are.

Just viewing in the forum for the first time in a few days so I'll give your excellent series a well deserved bump. I love the fisheye shots. I bring mine everywhere too. Well done!

But I thought i'd make a separate topic rather than stick it here.
