Excellent photos there Mattb.
Here are a few from Glastonbury 2014. For those who don't know it's a big music festival in England, renowned for great music and for not so great weather:

This with the old Sigma superwide 24mm, which works very well on the K1:

I spent a lot of money on the K5. It is an excellent camera capable of top results and I still owe it the opportunity to do it justice. It has had stood up well so far, the LCD screen is a bit scratched but it otherwise is in fine fettle. I will think about retiring my K5 once I have run it into the ground. I have no fickle to plans to abandon it for a younger model, it deserves better than that.

I don't know, I haven't got those so I can't test them. Suspect the K will be better than the M but I'd want to know about edges and corners before going for one.

Is this a 1.37795 inch which I see before me,
The grip toward my hand? Come, let me clutchthee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A 1.37795 inch of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?

The best photographic accessory you can buy is an alarm clock. Get up ridiculously early, it's when the magic happens:

For any of our North American friends who may not have heard of it Glastonbury is a music and performing arts festival in England. For one weekend in June it is the best place on the planet to be. This is my take on Sunday's headliners, The Who:

I have been busy and not taken many photos over the past few months, apart from some birds at the bottom of the garden, nor participated much in forums. However, I am able to get back to photography again and make up for lost time. Here are a few poultry portraits from my celebratory trip to the zoo. All K5 and DA*300:
Chicken
Peacock
African Goose
Egyptian Goose
Turkey
Silkie Bantam

Nice to get a little mention, especially from two top class landscape photographers. I don't deserve it, not yet but maybe some day. I know of the names named above and admire their work. I am a student of great photographs and of lesser known Pentaxians. I follow them closer than they know, but not in a creepy way. There are three more that I think are worthy of a particular mention for their inspiring work and uniqueness:
Gary Hickin for the most exquisite, classical still life that you will see. Now gone Nikon ff though.

Maria Gray (aka Autumnlight). Probably largely unknown to this forum but Maria takes the most ordinary, where many wouldn't even pick up the camera, and turns it into something extraordinary. Mood and feeling:

Jaromir Hron, a master of shades of grey:

They all have in common a natural eye, mastery of light and a meticulous attention to detail, as do MikeSF and Mark LJ. Take a look, I'm sure you'll agree with me.

Is this a 35mm which I see before me,
The grip toward my hand? Come, let me clutchthee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A 35mm of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
But I reckon we can now be sure that something wicked this way comes. no?
When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or with full frame?

I thought I would add a post for no good reason other than to be on the first page of a thread that will a few hundred pages long shortly after the Sun rises in New York.

Apart from an inabilty to spell words such as colour correctly there is little to suggest the PPG is USAcentric. I am a British photographer based in France and I have hundreds of images on the PPG.
