Hey thanks Ricardo, I'm glad you found it interesting.
In retrospect I'm thinking its not going to make the first stage though as its more of a 'slow burn' rather than 'Wow' shot so I appreciate your comment :)
The shot is of an old Roman Road here in the UK that is completely dead straight and exactly 2 miles long. At night the mist forms in the peat ditches either side and spill out over the road - pretty ghostly at night when driving as often your car lights are 'under' the mist and make for an eerie experience.
Good luck yourself if you've entered the contest - A K3 looks a lovely piece of kit!
Cheers,
Jay

Thanks guys, that's really helpful information :)
THoog - please let us know how you get on with the new RF-603 II when you get your hands on it. Very, very interested to hear your results. Looks like these are only available in the States so far.

@kdre - Well, looking at the article on the FlashHavoc site underneath the 'Versions' section there is a link for 'More version details'.
In here, listed under the C1 Version are: Pentax K20D / K200D / K10D / K100D.
I've assumed that this would also imply Kr, K7, K5 etc. But as assumption is the mother of all '%*$£-ups', I've most likely got the wrong end of the stick here and that isn't the case at all - please correct me if I'm wrong :)
They also mention:
Am I right in thinking that flash wake up activated by a half-press of the shutter button in conjunction with having the correct pin configuration between the flash and the camera's hot-shoe, so actually the Nikon version would be a better fit?
I currently use CowboyStudio triggers along with YN560ii's and when they go to sleep I just manually fire the test button on the transmitter to wake them up so its not really a deal breaker if this never works - I take it the 603's do have a 'Test' button?

Well fellow Pentaxians, looks like the RF-603 II triggers have finally been released! Can't seem to find them in the UK yet but is early days I guess. Can't wait to try a set of these, more info on flashhavoc here: YONGNUO RF-603 II – Now Available | FLASH HAVOC - looks like this page was only updated last week.
I'm interested to find out how these work with my K5II but oddly enough it looks like we'll need to get the C1 (Canon) version and not the (N1) Nikon variant..
The list of improved features looks good too, interested to know if they work reliably at 1/180..
Anyone got hold of a set yet?
