I agree, KP + 20-40 must be an amazing combo! I have 21 and 40 limiteds and still I am really thinking of buying 20-40.
Concerning the ND filter - KP provides many advanced features, including advanced shooting modes (multiexposure and interval shooting). Each of the two can be used to simulate ND filter. You can choose many things:
- number of shots (2-1999)
- the way of merging (average, bright, additive)
- and whether or not to save each particular shot
So, after one press the camera can combine up to 1999 shots in three different ways and give you a single (!) RAW output. This is amazing. ND filter is then simulated by the average merging. This feature is really unique among all cameras I know.

My last result... still working on it, but I am more than happy on details.

Most of the shots of wildlife I've taken with the DA* 300 I posted over at the 300mm+ thread. But here are a couple shots with the DA* 300 + DA 1.4x converter (I can't seem to find any shots with the DA* 300 sans converter):

This site was posted in another thread a few days ago and I bookmarked it in the hopes that I could get my wife and daughter to take a look at it (I may check it out in depth too).
Digital Photography
It's a complete course by a former Stanford professor that has been made available for free online. It consists of a number of video lessons, each with a challenge/assignment and the site also has a number of interesting applets that explain certain topics covered in the course.
I found that the Google Drive link in the first, red, paragraph was unusable but the link to the YouTube playlist works fine.

This photo reminds me of some Japanese or Chinese lithograph and the reeds look like hieroglyphs... I really like this photo, but I'm curious what others think of it in terms of technical quality etc.

They got the K1 to test, and the dynamic range went to the roof, the lab exploded and they now have to rescale all their charts.

Thanks again everybody for sending in such inspiring photos. Before I head to my local bar, here are my thoughts:
ramseybuckeye - A well taken shot. I like the combination of the threedimensional effect with an almost claustrophic feeling.
SpecialK - A very funny interpretation!
Gobuster - Your photo almost looks like a painting, and it somehow gives me the impression of "being there". I like the reduction of colour to basically orange and blue. Great work!
Bruce Clark - Cool. Having met several Aussie blokes (and girls) myself in Munich at the Oktoberfest, I obviously knew what they would do before the bar opens...
StephanHampshire - The cheerfulness of your photo is infectious!
slowpez - A fascinating approach to the subject. The reduced imagery, the colours and the fine composition are very appealing. The high ISO results in a beautiful granularity which provides a mystical atmosphere.
Mike L - A very nice, threedimensional rendition of the out-of-focus area that still lets you know what you're looking at. Every time I look at your photo I'm tempted to grab that glass...
charliezap - He thinks: 'How do I look on that photo?' Great snapshot.
jcdoss - A very atmospheric, yet unsentimental bar scene. Great use of black and white!
swanlefitte - Indeed, your photo gave me a smile!
noelcmn - A nice panorama-like wide angle shot with an interesting distorting effect that makes the bar almost look like a globe. Great colours.
mattb123 - Another atmospheric scene. I like the skilful use of the light the bar emits in contrast to the surrounging darkness.
geomez - A very artful play with light, resulting in an intriguingly surreal scene. And a beutiful woman is never out of place!
Arjay Bee - An interesting, different approach to the subject. Very absorbing threedimensional effect.
barada - Strict lines and clear structures, artfully broken by the shapes of the people. Beautiful, glowing colours form a strong contrast to the otherwise prevailing darkness. A great photo.
Hattifnatt - You're right - that look is fascinating. A great composition as well, with a beautiful rendition of the out-of-focus area (FA 77-bokeh, that is!).
Choosing the winners was a long and painful process. I liked every single entry to "my" contest, but as in real life, not everybody can win. There you are:
Honourable mention: Gobuster
Joint third place: Hattifnatt and geomez.
Second place: barada
First place: slowpez. Your photo was the one that amazed me the most.
Cheers, Christoph
