Just catching up as I haven't posted on here in a while, mainly I post to the UK Pentax forum. This is what I've been up to recently, playing with ICM for capturing landscapes.
All with the K1ii and either D FA 24-70mm or DA* 60-250mm

So where I live the main road etc is higher altitude wise than the village I live in and as you drive down the road to the village, you're greeted with a wonderful view of the village below, the Bristol channel and then England opposite. A few days ago we had, what can only be described as a cloud inversion over the sea. Thinking it would be great to shoot I headed down to the water edge:

The above image as well as the panoramic image below ( 7 images I think from memory) shows the clouds over the sea:

Following on from other post regarding a missed image, this set also has one. When I thought the light was gone as the sun was down past the horizon, I placed the filters back into their pouch, camera back in the backpack, wiped the tripod legs dry with a microfibre drying cloths, checked everything was there and nothing left and headed for home via the break in the cliffs we have here. The whole process probably 10 minutes max.
As I walked through the gap in the cliff and looked left I couldn't believe it, the clouds had rolled in and the distant chimney from the decommissioned power station was being enveloped by arms of thick cloud. It truly looked like something from an Avengers movie with how these arms of cloud were consuming the chimney, leaving parts exposed and visible arms engulfing it.
After a loud expletive I ran literally 20 seconds to the top of the cliff where the coastal path was to get an uninterrupted view of it and take an image but within that 20 or so seconds, the chimney was gone. Gutted didn't cut it. It's still burned in my minds eye and for me, probably would have been one of the best images I could ever have shot - a shot in a million. GUTTED!
Still, I got the camera out and the clouds had now well and truly made land fall and I was also now in them. So I managed to shoot these images

Took a stroll with my family around Porthcawl last week. To travel light I took the K3ii with the DA 35mm on it, as well as the cheap Tamron 70-300mm.
Here are some of the images from the shoot, it's a bit image heavy sorry!

Took a series of images from this location and the owner (I think) came over telling me I was breaking the law. I told her I wasn't as the pavement I was on was classed as a footpath and therefore public property. She was having none of it and after I had repeated the law and taking an image from the location I was at meant no law was broken. She then changes tune and said she was fine with me taking a pic of the shop but without the staff in it and kept saying I was breaking the law for taking images of her staff! Seems she didn't want her staff being photographed and she wanted to see the images. I didn't have too but to keep the peace as my wife and kids are with me and my wife hates confrontation I showed her the images I had taken as well as others taken to that point to re-enforce that I'm shooting street images. She wanted the 2 images that had her in them deleted so again to keep the peace I do so knowing full well that the camera is shooting to 2 memories cards simultaneously and they're still on memory card 2 in the camera!

Had a spare half hour or so earlier so popped down the road to the beach at the end of my village to test the DA* 60-250mm with the rear baffle out on the K1. In post all I have to do is hit lens correction and then add +29 vignetting to nuke the ever so slightly dark edges.
All these were taken at 200mm to 250mm so all top end of the zoom. These are not great images, poor light and a rush to capture then but wanted to see how the lens performed and what the vignetting was like with the baffle out. Anyone else thinking of getting this lens for the K1 i say do it, the baffle was less than a 5 minute job to do!

I can't remember who but someone said ditch the stem so I have and here is the result!
I've had it on my Flickr for a while but forgot to post it up and share so you may possibly have seen it already there!

All taken with the K5ii and the DA* 16-50mm. Saw that high tide was after the kids were in bed so managed to pop out to my local beach for a quick few images. The weather? It started foggy and damp with everything getting soaked through due to the fine mist but then it started raining and it rained pretty good! Fair to say the weathe rproofing has been throughly tested!
