This one is of my dogs Zeus (Rottweilor) and Zena (Staffordshire Terrier). I love photographing them because it's nice to capture their craziness!
The one prior is of midnight fireworks.
Both have only had cropping applied.

Not sure if it's the best I have done with my K-r, but we can say it is probably the best of 2014 so far

Nice shot!

Thank you very much Genobreaker,

It's been the combination of luck, and a good spot what provided this picture

Red five, That really is a very fine shot. Very dramatic and a nice composition. I don't know how you took it without getting run over. You must be fast on your feet. Freddy

Thank you very much Freddy,
Hahaha no no I am not fast in my feed, it's taken from one side of the road, at the inside let's say, and so this is why you get this composition.
With a rally car, I hope I never test how fast am I in my feed

Check that out, to give you a better idea, I was at the inside, at the right side of the picture, where you can see some part of a tree

It is from there that I was shooting at the cars

Trying out the new Tamron 70-300 yesterday.

hope this is not the kiss of death for this feller, pheasants usually end up squashed on the road shortly after I photograph them

Excellent bokeh and great color. Looks like you have a very nice lens, there. Freddy

Hello from New Zealand,

Continuing the bird theme, here's one of my hens! And a Lemon! Got a Kr recently and also ditched the kit lens in favour of some old manual primes. This was taken with a Takumar 50mm 1.4

fevbusch · 03-10-2014, 02:46 PM

Nice shots, Gadge. Those Takumars are really special lenses. I have gotten amazing shots from my 55mm 1.8 Tak. I just don't like to bother with the adapters, so I just keep the lens on my K200D. My K30 carries my DA55-300 or plastic 35mm 2.4 and soon the DA50mm 1.8 plastic.
When I get the 50mm 1.8 end of March that will complete mylens buying, probably for the rest of my liife. I may have to choose between selling my Sigma 50mm 2.8 eX macro if I'm not happy the the plastic 50. Freddy

thegadge · 03-10-2014, 02:58 PM

Cheers Freddy. I'm very much learning all of this from scratch, but I do love those old manuals! Yer right about the adaptors though, but I only have the Kr, so on and off they go..Next stop maybe a modern zoom. Thinking about this one Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro HSM (Contemporary) Lens Reviews - Sigma Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database
Who knows..it's a bit pricey

I also splashed out for this lens. Only used it to take some photos of my house for selling purposes so far but I like the look of the results, and it is almost silent which is a great improvement over the kit lens.

Gadge, I read the reviews just know on that Sigma17-70. Great performance figures and it sure was impressive in low light, judging from the pictures shown. Probablly a great investment.
I'm just sticking with my DA55-300. It is a great lens for me, with remarkable bokeh as a bonus. As much as I loved my old DA50-200 I'm just more impressed with this beauty of a lens. Freddy

Yeah, it looks pretty damn good. I like the low light feature as I don't tend to use flash at all. Meanwhile I have acquired another Tak. A 55mm 1.8 strangely enough..
The price of new lens in New Zealand is really quite expensive, so the Sigma will have to wait a while. I'll try and put a Tak 1.8 snap up here when it arrives...Good ol Trademe (NZ equivalent of ebay) Got that Tak for about $40 U.S. you canny go wrong with that, laddie..!!!
