OK folks - I've added a few more photos to my Flickr site. I know they won't be everyones cup of tea - I kinda like pretty dark B+W photos myself.
Anyway they've been taken with an array of cameras - from the newest, which is a K10D to an old Pentax ME from yester-year [damn I do like these old cameras
Anyway take a look & leave a comment if you want - I won't be offended if you don't think much of them..... mind you I told my last victim that
Cheers
John

Some interesting stuff there John. It's not all my cup of tea, there are a couple of crackers in there

I go for the 'dark' B&W shots too. In particular some of the graveyard ones, the kids bedrooms and your favourite Millenium path(?) with your daughters. Its to do with the mood/feelings they evoke in your mind - sometimes realworld, trucolor (tm) depictions of the world sell us well short of what we experience. So good on ya for going with what you like and not necesarily listening to the 'purists'.

And of course this means theres always a place in the bag for those older cameras. Certainly for me, most of my favourite/strong images (by me and others) aren't due to their 'technical' accuracy at the time of exposure. But hey, maybe I'm not a 'proper' photographer ;-)
