More December Desert Photos · 09:19 PM

Shot 4 hours ago at the McDowell Mountain Foothills.

Mosphotos.com Gallery- 25 Photos

I only took 2 primes with me

SMC Pentax-FA* 24mm

SMC Pentax-FA 77mm Limited

Also, carrying over from the "Zoo" thread:

Roentarre, I don't see any softness here. F2- wide open, no PP

Hi Mo, planning to have a consipracy to get me hooked into LBA of fa* 24mm?

The first one has the colour and texture in the sky I woudl die for. Just like how fashion critics judge the nature of fabric among the catwalks of models - good materials for good fashion inspirations.

Your 77 ltd shot reveals the beauty of bokeh from this lens in dim environment. It indeed reveals better colour and bokeh in dim lighting or under overcast sky.

They are great shots!

I have to agree with James, Adam it is a conspiricy to LBA I want both of those Primes But I have a wife who is watching my LBA very closely.

They are great shots I like the color and the comp of all of them You sure do have some really nice places to shoot around you.

Good Shooting.
Cheers: David

Well Mo, if you only are going to carry 2 lenses..... how can you go wrong with those 2?

Seriously, very nice. Love the last shot of the cactus.

Is it my old eyes or the spines on the cactus on the last shot, but it seems OOF. I keep roaming up and down the barrel of the cactus looking for that place to land my vision and I don't get a lock.

Hehe, thanks guys

Clarence, I'll post a 100% crop when I get the chance.

Happy New Year Adam!

The composition in #s 1 and 4 is fantastic. I really like these pictures. Nice and warm for a cold night like we're having here. The cactus seems quite sharp to me! Congratulations on your new lenses!

As promised, here it is. I don't think you could ask for any more hand-held!

You are right. My hand helds are not as sharp. Thanks.
