Excellent Pics as usual jsherman! You and this forum was one of my major reasons to go pentax instead of nikon. Is it possible to see the exif of your pics? Would love to know what settings you used.

Thanks! Flickr doesn't show Exif with these links, but every outdoor shot is f/8, ISO 100, varying fast SS, except for the night/car/bus shots which are f/4, ISO 1600, 1/125s. Both indoor shots are f/4, ISO 1600, 1/8s.

Jay, you are an absolute master of dark and light in high contrast scenes. I notice this again and again. Photo #1 and especially photo #3 are stunning. Some day I will have to study your exposure and pp techniques

Thanks! I use Lightroom for PP mostly, almost all these shots have varied, experimental things going on. Let me know if you have any particular question.

The Minneapolis Skyway is a street system one story up. In a winter like this, many downtowners don't leave it. But the first-story streets are still there, for people who are a bit more hardy and willing to risk frostbite for a shortcut, the bar-folk, the smokers, the homeless and proto-homeless, for the cars, and for the people waiting for buses.

Wow, very nice set of pictures!

Thanks jsherman999, that photo was taken in an all out snowstorm. I bought a Kata E-690 rain cover just so I could use the 15mm in bad weather.

man, i've had mine for 3-4 weeks now and STILL haven't taken it out on a proper outdoor shoot.

I received my new D-15 earlier this week.

Took this shot today during a lunchtime hike.

my first pics with the 15mm:

I have been shooting all month with the DA55-300 for the Single in January challenge and I've been going through DA15 withdrawal. So on a trip to the zoo today, I tucked the 15 into my bag:

Here's a DA15 HDR from last weekend when we had a very frosty, foggy morning.

the swede - nice frost on the tree! I love the contrast that can create.

From yesterday's ski tour.
I used the flash on this one (built-in) to brighten up the foreground snow a bit.
