Nothing wrong with the quality from what I can see!
It looks like you have a very good lens in your arsenal.

I am fascinated by the curves of those trees in the first image. Almost like Liberty Style art.

My luck. Very Happy

Very Happy Great!
What about me, Peter? Have I got a written accent?
Or should I rather ask: "Do I have a written accent?" Wink

Now and then, Carsten, I can tell that English is not your native language, but I don't pick up any particular accent. Sometimes you mix up prepositions (e.g you have a lens "at" your camera, not "on" it). Michael does the same sometimes too, so perhaps this is a German thing. Attila and Orio often use American spelling but not American phrases, and fairly often their English grammar is slightly wrong, so for me they still write with Hungarian and Italian accents. Lahnet spells "colors" instead of "colours" and says "sure is" - straight from Dodge City Laughing

Let me now say I how much I admire all of you for being able to speak and write so well in a language you have had to learn from books. I am ashamed that I can't.

Very nice,

Good colour and sharp very good.

The only thing is that I see a light CA in the pictures.
But I repeat a light.

A digi sensor is far more sensitive for over exposure as for underexposure. Opposite to analog were its the other way arround.
Try to use a -1 correction or so, it might improve a lot.

Yep, those pesky prepositions! Really hard for Germans!
I am somewhat relieved to hear your "verdict", since I've got an MA in English literature and took some classes in linguistics.
Would be a shame for me, if you could easily sound out a German accent in my texts. Wink

Actually, I think that in this forum especially Michael and Orio - among others - have a very good command of the English language.

I think you all do, and the very slight errors are attractive anyway - they sort of pin you to your roots. If we all spoke perfect English how boring it would be! Smile

(The "if" word (conditional) is very difficult for Germans, is it not?)

I often use MSN to chat with a friend in NL when we are are working on music together. He likes me to correct him if he makes a grammattical error. I can speak only one word of Dutch, and I don't like to correct him too often because it seems I am being very critical. But if it would help you, I would be happy to correct your prepositions from time to time! Smile

If-clauses are a pest. Wink
At university German learners have to distinguish between 9 different types.
At Germans school this number is reduced to three.
This works quite well.

1) If I see a cheap lens, I will buy it.
2) If I saw George Bush, I would ask him about his plans.
3) If I had won the lottery, I would have bought many lenses.

1) Condition is possible and likely.
2) Condition is nearly impossible or very unlikely.
3) Condition is not (no longer) possible, since it happened in the past.

This is OK for a proper communication but not all there is!

It's good that you find errors attracting, you'll keep finding the experience of my messages freshly exciting every day! Laughing

My ex wife (Norwegian) had a superb English language command. She got a degree in Oxford with which she was allowed to teach English to Englishmen. A lot of her English friends used to tell her that she was speaking a better English than the Englishmen, because her accent was neutral (not regional) and the expressions were of high English, not street language.

I think you are forgetting about Veijo here. I am not an English connaisseur so i should not really speak about this, but I find the English language in Veijo messages extremely pleasant to read, very well commanded and very "pure" (if I should use this word").

Worse - "If I had had my camera with me, I could have had a good time!" Smile

That's right, Orio!

Whenever I read Veijo's posts I completely forget he's not English!

I did not learn English at school, No German Either even speak some Russian and French.
I learned it all by myself, sure I make lots of mistakes. But its far better to communicate and make spelling errors then to hesitate and communicate less or not..

I can write better but then I have to slow down, I hate it that my writting is slower then my thinking!
