I was going through my summer shots and came across some DA 18-135 images. I posted them in the 18-135 thread, but I'm guessing a lot of you don't follow that thread, so I'm putting them over here as well. If I'm going to do all that work, I'm going to make sure everyone gets a look-see.

Thanks for posting herel as I have no reason to look at the 18-135 thread. #3, #4 and #8 my favourites.

Ya I know how you feel... I can't possibly keep up with every thread... even ones I might be interested in. Show your bokeh, rust, thematic wildlife...there's only so much time in a day. Thanks for your input.

Brilliant colors. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

Probably one of the least stated axioms of colour photography on this website.... it's all about the colours. You can sell a photo with no contrast and no sharpness, but if hte colours are right, people don't even look at those things. Thanks for commenting.

Love the compostion in #4 Norm. (And the colors, of course!)

That's a wall-hanger for sure.

I had to do a double-take on #5. At first glance I didn't realize it was cloud REFLECTIONS behind the dog - and I thought he was standing way up on the edge of a cliff!

#'s 6 & 7 look like a pair for Tess' old "Photographer and the shot" thread from a while back.

My picture is probably the same as the photographer and image.... but she posted one of hers to go with it, she was using the DA10-17 and has a much wider field of view.. I was using the 18-135 at 18, but we were standing at the same place, with the same sunset, so I can understand why you think that. Mine was the K20D and DA 18-135, hers were taken with the DA 10-17 and the K-x. That's how we tell them apart.

These are very good Norm - nice colo pop on them and very good composition.

**usn ret** · 02-06-2012, 01:40 PM

Norm these are outstanding, I had to go back look to see if these were taken with a K5 but surprise a K20.. Colors are so vivid and clear, I like them all. Now I need to take my 18-135 out and treat it to some sunlight. TFS....Cliff

You have some great photos here Norm, magnificent scenery.

JinDesu · 02-06-2012, 03:04 PM

#6 is lovely, did she know you were taking a picture?

normhead · 02-06-2012, 03:51 PM

She's actually got her K-x in front of her there taking a picture, but she probably knew, I'm always taking her picture whether she wants me to or not. SHe sits over my shoulder when I load them from the camera and tells me which ones must be immediately deleted because they don't meet her artistic standards.

You can see a bit of the K-x strap here.
