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!

Congrats on the recent entry Steve, I have been tempted many times by the Jupiter's bokeh to puchase that lens and there ya go and did it again.

yeatzee, I just voted on that one. Nice shot!

The Jup is definitely worth having in the bag. A bit of a pain to work with, but fun and capable of great results.

As for yeatzee's bug...someone should spray his place with pesticide. He is getting altogether too many bug shots accepted!

@orenmc...I really like #2 and #3. Great work and congratulations on the recognition!

Another one I was doubtful but made it in YaY! I had my fingers crossed for it!

First time I tried using fill in flash for a scene.

Oh man I would be devistated... all i am semi decent at is bug shots

The worst part is that all my images in PPG are with the sigma 105mm.... I need to try entering some of my pentax lens shots

Added link to PPG in my signature.
This is the among most recently selected.

WTF???

casil403 · 03-06-2010, 03:52 PM

Lol....It's ice fog. The flash lit up all the little ice crystals in the air....at least that's what I hope you are getting at?! I was after the hoar-frosted shoes on the line and when I used the lash to light up the shoes, it lit up all the tiny ice crystals too...purely happenstance shot!
I thought it would go in the reject bin for certain as no one would know what it was.

It is high ART, can't you tell?! I have noticed that PPG seems to be lightening up a little and passing a few images that are more artsy.

BTW...I really like that shoe shot...like I said, high art.

What a lucky shot. And what a GREAT shot, I like this a lot.

rustynail925 · 03-08-2010, 09:48 AM

Can you post the the original of that shot Casil?

casil403 · 03-08-2010, 01:08 PM

Sure but can I ask why first?

PrimeObjectif · 03-08-2010, 02:52 PM

Just got two in, so I'm up to three.

I really like the train depot (?) picture.

I got my seventh in, and it's also the first I've gotten accepted that was taken with my new (to me) K20d. I haven't submitted anything in about four weeks now... need more time in the day/week/month/year.

emilf · 03-08-2010, 07:56 PM

I submitted 10 racing photos just over two weeks ago, and just got one accepted and 3 rejected. It seems like people like motorcycle shots more than cars

Here's the one that got accepted:

The bike # is a little bit soft, but personally my eyes always end up getting drawn towards the torso and helmet/face that just seem really 'rich' looking (color-wise)
