Electrifying
Lens: Tamron 80.210mm F/3.8-4 Adaptall2 Camera: Pentax K-5 II Photo Location: Southern Finland ISO: 1600 Shutter Speed: 1/200s Aperture: F8

I was hoping to find some birds or even elk or deer to test my Pentax with my old adaptall lens. But some landscape shots were all I got.
Back in 1980's I used to have an Olympus OM-1. I saved all those gear all these years. Last week I managed to buy an adapter to a K-mount. And I found out, my adaptall is more than usefull again.

Never throw anything away, even your wife may not be happy about it!

This photo of the local power line has been cropped a little and I gave it a gentle HDR-treatment to bring hidden tones up.

Nice use of the rule of thirds, although I see no fur-ball here..

Been there many times out looking for wildlife and getting skunked so to speak. Have fun with the new / old lenses.

If you have it they will come, eventually. I swear wildlife can see the sun glint off a camera lens from miles away and they spread the news. At least you came up with a nice landscape.

"a gentle HDR-treatment" - and rightly so.
excesses aren't necessary here.

There is a waterproof trick to get all the interesting creatures out of their hides - leave your camera home.
