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!

I don't have much on there (yet) but here's what I have so far.
I am 3 for 3 hooray



Non cropped version


I didn't put the non watermarked version on Flickr.

Looks like some nice work there. The car on the road is awesome, the birds squabbling over the seeds is a very good capture.

And we'd appreciate it if you'd post the photos and not a link to the photos. Please!

Updated my post. Sorry about that.

I only have two photos posted, and more have been accepted, I got turned down on one, I'm still shocked.
I deal with rejection poorly.

I currently have 14 accepted, sorry about the small format size, it turns out very few of my selections for PPG are on flickr.... and locating them for reposting at 2650x1600 would mean lots of searching through archives.

More of the ones that were accepted...

This one was turned down twice before it was accepted (many years ago, 2011 maybe, when it only took a week or two). The third time I submitted it I cropped it slightly...

The website has been completely redesigned. To log in again I had to request a new password.

Yay.

Thanks for the update.

I have photos that have been waiting approval for a year and a half. Wonder if they will get approved or rejected now?

And several are no longer in the approval queue. Not approved, not rejected, simply gone.

Again, yay.

Those are great images Kobie! How did you achieve the first one? (The car shot)

I've not been on PPG for ages but I see it's been updated and voting is much quicker than in the past.

It just got updated a few days ago. Nobody had posted here since February...

I had already deleted most of my photos there. I uploaded 5 new ones, we'll see how long it takes for approval now.

Good to see the site has had some work done to it. Looks good.

Looks like they're still using Let's Encrypt for the site certificate. It expires in December, let's see if they remember to renew it...

Thanks Mark!

The car image is, hmmm, not a composite, but sort of is...
Okay, It was a static photo of my car on the road (not moving).

In post, I had to select all around the car, zoom blur the road, trees etc. Then select the wheels/tires and radial blur those slightly.
I was using a different program so at first I had to cut out the car and copy it as a new layer so the blur I added wouldn't effect the car itself once I combined the two car layers back together.
