What Bob said. Whew, someone else said it so I don't have to. Yup, looks like some nice images, but way, way too time consuming for me to look at them all. Or even more than one. You have to bear in mind that PDMlers are busy people and that looking at other's photos is a courtesy and some

Re: PESO - Tyn Church

That's really nice. Like the atmospheric quality of the sky. However, I have a sneaking suspicion you lightened up the buildings in front (shadow recovery), and in this case I wouldn't mind them darker. Contrast is okay in this kind of shot. If I am wrong, totally ignore me. Well, actually

Cool. Very nice photo, like it a lot, especially you putting the road off to the side and not dead center (but it's still balanced out by the clouds on the left). Heck, probably a lot of them have never heard of Pentax. ;-) Marnie aka Doe In a message dated 12/17/2012 8:05:32 A.M. Pacific

Re: Any thoughts on what might cause this?

I was going to suggest that, but felt it might be too obvious. In my new laptop, occasionally it essentially locks the control key as down, so I can't type in emails. I've googled and googled to find out what the problem is and evidentially, according to lots of posts in various discussion
