Oh yeah just to add: if you're internet is fast enough try looking at some of the 4k videos on youtube. That certainly shows off the screen.

Had mine about a week and I'm very impressed by the screen. Photos look amazing on it to be fair. I upgraded from a 2010 MBP and now looking at the screen on that one looks poor. Although as others had said, if a program is not retina-compatible then they can look awful. Also screen content is...

Great shots. It's an amazingly photogenic place. I remember walking around and thinking every street looked like the set of a Woody Allen film! I tried to get the same view point as you in the second photo you posted but it was about minus 18 degrees C wind chill as I was there in January. My...

An interesting little tree island on Tarn Hows in the Lake District. If I remember it was an otherwise dull day, but this little island grabbed my attention: Any thoughts?

Second is my favourite for the perfectly placed cloud on top of the mountain.

I think the vignette works for this image as it draws me to the detail on the stonework.

I really quite like these - love the long shadows they cast.

A view of Ingleborough through the arches of the Ribblehead Viaduct in North Yorkshire. Taken in September 2014

Had a little go and came up with this from the RAW file: Straightened, turned exposure down a tad. And cropped a bit off the top. Desaturated a bit, contrast, sharpening and selective definition and exposure/contrast of certain areas. Plus a slight post-crop vignette.

Cheers guys. Unfortunately I don't have a colour version (as I shot this as a JPEG in B&W mode I think). Colour would definitely have made the flag more interesting but it was a fairly gloomy day if I remember and was about -12 degrees C at the time! I think the top of the building is just in...

Not sure if this image has any particular photographic merit but just fancied sharing this alternative view of the otherwise famous Chrysler Building in New York: Reflected in the building on the other side of the street.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looking back at number one it does seem to need to be a tad wider - although unfortunately 14mm is my widest lens at the moment. Do you think this kind of image would lend itself to a stitched panorama? Not too keen on HDR myself (although done properly it can look...

View from the Top of the Rock.

After a trip to Cheddar a couple of weeks ago we decided to come home via Wells and I'm glad we did as this tiny city is awesome. Walked around inside the impressive Cathedral and a couple of things caught my eye: the vaulted ceiling and the organ pipes. 1. 2. Any thoughts...
