Yeah, bought a little $15 Pentax K to Canon EF-S mount adapter from Amazon. Seems to work fine. Without a split screen I feel like I’m searching for focus, but in a weird sense that’s kinda part of the idea, so to speak.

Big sky but little water at Little Lake
This is Little Lake in the Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge near Whitehall, Louisiana. Despite getting some rain (but not a lot), it’s still down following our unusually hot and dry summer this year. Normally, there would be nothing but water visible here. Not deep, but totally flooded. This is typical of many – if not most – lakes in Louisiana right now.
In this image I went for a more minimalist approach than I usually take. This was shot through a manual Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm f/1.7 lens (at f/5.6).
An alternate, even more minimalist, image of three isolated bald cypress trees.

So, we arrived in Glencoe, staying at Kingshouse for Christmas. The weather wasn’t all that great:
On Christmas morning, we drove down to Loch Etive, on a road that is single track with occasional passing places. The weather was better, but still not good, this is Loch Etive
Then on Boxing day:
These were taken on a circular tour of Loch Leven, starting in Glencoe village
Finishing off with (probably) the most photographed building in Glencoe, that of the Ladies Scottish Mountaineering Club Blackrock Cottage:

Nice ! The use of wide angle in combination with remarkable geometry goes nicely in some of those. Very clean look !
That’s just a lovely set of pics - those mountains! 
Looking forward to having a go at the Play Raws too. 
Oh what a tangled web…

Well… I guess I was a bit deceptive with a sunny blue sky conversion to hard-edged high contrast monochrome!

Maybe this one should be called “Charge your battery and took some photos”…
It a re-process of a blue hour shot taken in November 2009 with my old 8mp* Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D), on Irons Fork Lake in western central Arkansas.
* Cropped, no less!

From my visit today in Hamburg (and no, I did not go to the Dix exhibition).
Shot with Konica Hexanon 50mm F1.4.

I like the way each storefront has symmetrical visual elements of its own.

Just some birdies from a walk on this afternoon…
It was the first time I got so close to it.
Number 2 and 3 not perfect, but I like the dynamic.

There was some beautiful soft, golden evening light on the neighbouring house, I wanted to capture. Came out surprisingly well, given that I had to shoot through a pretty dirty window

Nice image. Would getting rid of the tree on the left-hand side, and number “3” in the centre improve it? I find both a little distracting, the former more than the latter.
I agree about the tree, I already cropped a bit more than I wanted due to it. I didn’t try cloning it away yet. It’s a rather large area, so maybe a bit tricky (at least with my limited retouch skills) but might be worth a try.
I’m not so sure about the number. I see that it can draw attention but since it’s a natural part of the building, I think I’d rather keep it.
