Dr. Romix, what can I say, just lovely photography. The most recent one of the Trevi Fountain is splendid. The lighting on the Colosseum shot is gorgeous! I see why they call you the Dr.

Thanks for your kind comment. I'm actually a physician and photography is one of my hobbies. I'm trying to learn from you guys who are lot more advance than me and educate myself so I enjoy this hobby lot more.

Love the grainy B&W look K-7creates.. ISO 1600 reminds me of old film camera.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I love the pictures you've taken. They are very well composed and are of beautiful subjects. But if you are trying to get better, I have a little constructive criticism for you. Find a good graduated neutral density filter and use it to darken the sky in situations like the two Grand Hotel pics from Florence and the one from the Florence rooftop. The two from the hotel are a little dark in the foreground, but the sky is perfect. The one from the rooftop, the sky is over exposed and the foreground is perfect. Using a graduated neutral density filter with the dark side up will help even out the exposure issue between the sky and ground. You can also tweek the exposure issue in post processing after the fact, but many find it easier to use the filter. Again, just a pointer. I love what you are doing and I can't wait to see more.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on it. I'm trying to learn more of CS5 for PP but I like natural colors more than PP. I will look into that filter for sure.

great pictures.

Greeting everyone, I'm very excited and pleased to "join the club".

There are so many wonderful images in this thread. Thank you all for the inspiration and for showing what's possible.

Here's one from my first outing with the Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6. This is about 2 hours before sunset, pretty wild sky for that time of day.

And another from yesterday, my second outing with the 10-20. I like this lens!

Designosophy, thanks for your generous comment. I've enjoyed may of your images too.
JHD, Thanks so much for the like and your generous comment.

A little praise goes a long way at this stage.

Forgot to mention the body is a K-5. This is my first DSLR and I've had it since early July. I'm sure having fun with the k-5 & 10-20. Light goes in, magic comes out.

Regards
