Going over the River Tamar at Calstock, Cornwall in the UK. An old railway viaduct that's still In use.
This is actually a 2 part panorama, but I decided to edit it so that the top of the bridge was the top of the frame, as there was enough interest in the rest of the shot (imho).

Devon, UK has some very interesting beaches, some sand, some ... craggy rocks.
This was taken in Challaborough Bay, Devon, just around the corner from a holiday park. Not actual Mordor. Promise ;-)
This a 3 part HDR exposure times were actually 1/5-1/80th of a second at f/14
(Google) map position 50.28784285155458, -3.9017854598441826

Coming back from a different view, this popped up. Handheld panorama.
The original could be printed 3m wide at 200dpi
And it might be. 🙂
Not bad for a 12 year old camera

How does any of that information help you decide which is the better picture? Try thinking about composition, light, feel, colour, aesthetics ....

Quite literally. A tea strainer, some water, a macro lens, the view from my garden. Bisto!

Hi all, after a bit of a 'fractiousness' on Flickr with Rupert, about a tongue-in-cheek comment I made about how, against the odds, I've got a camera (K-5) and lens combination (Tammy 70-200 f/2.8) that could actually focus, he asked me to post here with results from a low light tugsten focus test. The reason I'm doing this is not to start more disagreement, but merely to show that it is possible to get a K-5 that works (it's not all doom and gloom)
So a quick intro to me, I've got 25 years of engineering experience and have worked in the movie industry for a while (as well as military and high end telecomms), so I have a fairly methodical approach to look for and solve problems. As I think this is probably my first post I thought I'd better give you a little heads .... I realise this doesn't mean I DO know what I'm talking about, but I've got a fair idea.
So first, a shot that was taken with the 70-200, and a 100%ish crop. I took two lenses, this and the 28-75 f/2.8, before I went I checked for ff/bf, in daylight, and adjusted both lenses slightly (as I had to do for the K-7 beforehand). I should report that the adjustment was pretty much the same for both cameras, but the 28-75 was pretty much spot on anyway.
The good stuff
200mm f/4, ISO 400. 1/500th sec
and the crop
So anyway, enough of the that stuff.
This I posted in response to a question from Rupert
ISO160, 1.0s, tungsten lit with tungsten WB (and a bit from the tv)
Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 at 75mm and 2.8, about 3m away.
The focal point is at the top of the radiator
and a crop
I should also say, the focussing assist light did come on when taking this shot. Focus was hit first time and quickly.
Please feel free to fire any questions or comments, but I'm off to bed now (in the uk) so it might be a while before I respond.

Taken at Wastwater, Lake District, UK.
There was a lot of waiting for the light for this shot, and the slightly longer than normal exposure allowed the water's edge to smooth out a bit and allow the rocks underneath the surface to be more clearly visible ...
Turned out alright I thought.
