Lovely scene, Bruce. Until Ken mentioned it, I didn't even notice that LH bit of tree. Now I can't un-see it, and I think it spoils the composition. So I agree with Ken. On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 12:07 AM, wrote: > Great capture! But if it were mine I'd eliminate about 1/3rd of the > foreground a

Re: New K-3 Image

I have not mentioned it in this thread, but I did in a similar post I made on PentaxForums this morning. Under the PRIME III family I grouped the "K3?, 645DII?, FF?" A poster on dpreview's Pentax forum wisely (i think) suggested that Pentax's progress has been delayed in waiting for this Fujitsu M

Re: New K-3 Image

Re: New K-3 Image

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the K-3 is going to be the most significant leap in model features in the history of the company. There are really four big components to a DSLR: Sensor, Image Processor, Exposure System, AF system I would suggest that the K-3 is going to be the most

Also, I'd make an effort to eliminate that bit of tree trunk peaking out from behind the primary right center tree. In time I'd probably have to try reforming the left side of it's base into a more conventional shape I know... I need help.. Jack   - Original Message - From: "kwal...@pe

Fun gallery. Matthew's Bighorn Sheep is just perfect; great composition and light. And thank you, Brian. Gandalf appreciates (indeed expects) the admiration. :-) On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 2:29 AM, Brian Walters wrote: > G'day all > > Lots to like in this gallery but my favourite is "Will work for
