    Stunning!

    I expect you will use the macro lens for landscapes!

        It obviously works well - that's another excellent shot!

          The butterfly is fine Paul

          I love that shot of the church though.

            I took another shot of this church with my new Sigma DP1M. I'm waiting (and if you've used the Sigma software you'll know that "waiting" is definitely the operative word!!) to see how that turns out.

                Two great shots Paul. The dramatic lighting on the church is stunning. I love those dense shadows.

                  Here's one I took with the Sigma Ron (but I lightened those shadows a tad). Hope it's OK to post it here (it not being from an Oly camera):

                    That's nice too Paul but I have to say that in this case colour is best. I find lighting like that, with the sun breaking out against a stormy grey sky, achingly beautiful and thrilling.

                      A great set. That butterfly on the flower is a masterpiece of posing!

                        Three fine shots Paul, but I'm voting with Ron and going for the colour one of the church, that is my favourite kind of lighting for landscapes.
