Sounding Out: from a New Zealand Ship cruise
Lens: smc PENTAX-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 Camera: Pentax K-50 Photo Location: New Zealand South ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/2000s Aperture: F11

In Feb 2019 I took a 12-night Ovation of the Seas Ship cruise around New Zealand. The last time I had used a camera was back in the early 1980s, a Pentax ME. I had bought a cheap 2nd hand Pentax K-50 for the trip (as I still had my old late 1970s Pentax lenses).
Since that trip, Pentax KP, and Pentax K3 iii, and the experience of gradually gaining a small understanding of computer photographic software tricks, and got the urge to re-process some of the NZ photos.

Thanks Tony.

Yes - southern tip of South Island. We went into 2 or 3 of the "Sounds" or fjiords. I think this one is in Milford Sound, taken from the back of the ship as we moving back out.

Beautiful shot Peter. I was there in 2020, right before Covid shut everything down. The fjords there are stunning.

Your history of Pentax use sounds a lot like my own!
Your K5 and "vintage" lenses worked very well together.
And your eye for seeing a good shot and getting it!
