so as you guys said the 31mm was to short the f/1.8 thou was fantastic.
for now until I will get a tele lens this will have to do

as I said I am trying to post some thing every week even if its not the best

trying to learn different scenes and situations

C&C are more then welcome as usual

I think they are all quite good.
The one with the woman seemingly capturing images on her cell phone has some humor to it and was post processed with interesting light but other than that is the least liked of this bunch for me. And the others are very good.
I really wish number 5 had stronger and brighter whites to make the scene easier to see and all have captured the mood well.

thanks man!
well this exercise was though. but I really learned how great my Pentax gear is. the only thing I was missing was the focal length. 31mm too short
as you could see from the last image this place is very dark with crazy chanching lights. the f/1.8 really helped a lot. the woman in with the cell phone had an orange light on her. its not PP.
not my best shoot by any means but its was a fun day and with a longer lens definitely a fun challenging location.

for full size of all the pictures and more you can hit my flickr gallery in my signature.

Thanks for your comment!!!

I wish I was part of the show. Very cool in deed.

I do not mind the blurr. That does not hurt the images. The stories are well illustrated.

Very cool shots, but as an English Lit major... "medieval".

Ha thanks!
English is not my first language but I've been living the US and with an American girlfriend for so long that I have no excuses.

I am working on my spelling I know I have a problem

I was trying to get a "tracking" shot of the horses. it was very hard I was too far away.
the picture of the blurry horses that you see is more then 50% crop.
I love this lens so so much!!!
some times I forget that its only a little 31mm lens.

Forget the English. I am sure your English is better than my foreign language. Do you speak IMAGE (ination) Good, then you fit in nicely. Love your images, some are too small to see the real substance of the image. I really like the knights- very dynamic. Also like the woman serving drinks. Not only has a triangular light area, but all the colours are balanced as well.

Thanks!! and..
I know ...still I've been talking and writing in English for so many years now.... and my brain just don't want to get it.

and to be honest I am slowly forgetting my home language. so I guess by the end all I will have left is a Pentax camera to communicate with

It's ok.

That one is a particularly tricky one anyway.

gawan · 02-26-2009, 10:13 AM

Great shots! Must have been a fantastic show!

Bramela · 02-26-2009, 01:16 PM

Excellent shots. Great light effects that you have caught very well.

Glad to see the "Medieval" mobile phone as well

redpigeons · 02-26-2009, 01:20 PM

Thanks guys!!! next month I will be buying me second lens
I love the 31mm so much that I think I wold get the 77 as my telephoto lens for now.

and later the sigma 70-200

pcarfan · 02-26-2009, 06:10 PM

Very nice...you've done well.

mithrandir · 02-26-2009, 07:10 PM

You did your homework (prep) then you did the venue. Excellent job in conditions that are designed (I firmly believe) to deny good shots. Congratulations.
