I'm sorry folks, I forgot that with my old fashioned manual lenses and Pentax cameras that you can't do this sort of thing.

Must be Photoshopped. :-)

Aye and to add further insult to injury, apart from a crop this is SOC.

You're right. Always a bad angle, and it looks like he's sinking, too.

and what type of fake lens was used any way

"A Series Lens " is what the data says

clearly faked all the way I would even bet the model never left dry ground and was on a log so he could tilt the board

The decent weather sure helps too...was it a 3 lens 20/85/135mm travel kit you had with you!

Indeed it does, to get fast ish speeds at decent apertures at ISO 100.

How observant of you, have a gold star... but I also had my 50mm there too.

My "go to" kit for incognito travel Pentax wise tends to be... "Good Lady” (Pentax-A 20mm F2.8), "Special Lady” (Pentax-A 50mm F1.2) + "Unholy Alliance", “Sweetheart” (Pentax-A* 85mm F1.4) and "Lady Luck” (Pentax-A* 135mm F1.8).

Blast it KD, you'll give us a bad name with a crappy shot like that - stick to still lifes; that's what Pentax is good for.

**rod_grant** · 10-13-2016, 01:17 AM

and another thing...

your fancy dancy K-1 couldn't get the water smooth and milky in that shot (smooth and milky is very fashionable with water shots).

Just too much light about, I'd have to shoot this through an optically perfect piece of plywood to get a long exposure for "smooth and milky".
