Pentax Photo Gallery (PPG) entries · **4 Likes**

Hello all! I am going to make this a sticky post in hopes that I can get all of you who have submitted pictures to the Pentax Photo Gallery (PPG) and have had them accepted please post a couple of them here and please link back to your gallery so we can see your work. We have so many incredible photogs on this site I am curious to see what Pentax considers your best work.

Thanks!

Nice shots all round. Pleased these two got in as these type of shots are more difficult to get accepted than an out of focus butterfly:

Other acceptances are the usual fodder.

Beautiful images, Mark.

RE: image compression quality, I'll let you be the judge. Here's an image uploaded to three different locations:

Great shots Dr. Orloff. You are right about the difficulty in getting shots like those in. Glad these made it.
bbluesman, I just voted on those first two yesterday but didn't see the third one come up. Congrats.

I have submitted one image taken with my new K-30 and was accepted. Ironically I was out trying to get a shot with a moonrise in the background. Unfortunately, the moon didn't become visible until it was up 10-15 degrees. But I did turn around to a beautiful sky as the sun sunk.

slowpez · 08-19-2012, 11:46 AM

That's an eye-popper Tom. Brilliant colors. Aren't you glad you turned around?

Not sure wich bird, but took this shot on my way home from work. One of my first shots with the DA* 300mm

Tim, that looks like a sparrow.

Yes it is. I have now found the english name, and it's a House Sparrow.

Five more of my images got into PPG:

v5planet · 08-23-2012, 06:41 PM

Well, those went through pretty quickly. I'll show the flickr versions instead of the mutilated PPG ones:

Space Needle

Waterfront Ferris Wheel

Motion of a Storm

Photographer's Mountain

Sahale Arm

Maybe one of these days I'll get something in the Premier Gallery!

[edit] Seems these were all taken with the DA15, too. I think that's my most heavily-represented PPG lens by a wide margin.

Beautiful series, love #1 & #2 most.

Excellent set Chris - some real beauties in there. Just the one in for me.
