I really like this one. Beautiful colors and lighting. Glad I have some strawberries on hand!
 
It wasn't my birthday. It was my friend Eddie's 40th birthday. He is quite the friend and intentionally made this trip about celebrating his friendship with us, and not about himself. He organized the trip, paid for our lodging, paid for all of our golf related expenses, and paid for most meals. And then also gave us $280 Oakley sunglasses as party favors. So I'm looking forward to his 41st! :)

I like dense colors too. I'm pretty big on lots of contrast. Gives it more of a 3D pop, IMO. All part of the PP in LR3.4.
I thought that these had quite a 3D look about them too Armando. They seem really well focused too. I've been having the same trouble with focus as a lot of other people with the K5, in that you can adjust the focus and it will be tack sharp close up but when you try further distances outside they are not sharp at all! There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this so far:( Have you adjusted your fine focus at all for this lens?

Unfortunately my problem with the 18-135 wasn't because the AF is off by a couple of adjustments. The lens from time to time simply just refused to AF period. This only happened when the 18-135 was set anywhere from 19-134. Focusing on the same subject, as soon as I zoomed out to 18 or zoomed in to 135, the AF would kick in and work fine. Then I'd change back anywhere in 19-134, and the lens would just not AF again. This refusal to AF didn't happen all the time. It was about half of the time. But I could not pinpoint the condition that would trigger the problem.
 
You have some beautiful light in your neck of the woods Jono and you've shown England at it's best here. Beautiful pictures :)

Thank you! Dog walks come before 8 and after 6, so the light tends to be good at this time of year . . . could do with a hill or two and a bit of sea around here though!
 
Wow great photos here, its like a K-5 image thread now :D

I've got loads to share, but too little time to edit and upload. I went to Gary Neville's testimonial match (Man Utd vs Juventus) and have some great snaps. Hopefully will share soon.
