Thanks for commenting on a couple of recent posts; it's always nice to get some positive feedback. I'm constantly trying to travel light so I avoid DSLRs. These were all taken on a Pentax MX1, which has a quite limited zoom but a better than average quality lens. It has a wonderful tilting viewing screen which allows shooting from the hip or ground level (if you bend down a bit) and also shooting over the heads of the crowd; these options were all used at Whittlesea. I also tweak most of my photos on the computer with Corel Paintshop Pro, which is a poor man's Photoshop-type program, usually just a bit of sharpening and cropping.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-10495035051350921152014-01-20T23:22:25.438+00:002014-01-20T23:22:25.438+00:00Marvelous photographs John.What camera do you use?...Marvelous photographs John.What camera do you use?Bob Swindellsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-29145420938407505832014-01-16T09:36:48.184+00:002014-01-16T09:36:48.184+00:00Fabulous series of photos and a lovely looking blo...Fabulous series of photos and a lovely looking blog.
