Some French and Indian War re-enactors at Ft. William Henry this past weekend. K5 and DA 15 with some B&W treatment.

lukulele · 10-15-2012, 06:52 PM

Thanks Glenn. Deep Creek outside of Bryson City. The leaves and Ektachrome sky packed WCU, Sylva, Bryson City, and everything west of Asheville this weekend.

A weekend trip out of town.

kx, pentax smc 35-70

kx, pentax 45-125 at f8 - f11. am pleasantly surprised at how sharp it is even though it's got a bit of fungus on the edges.

Love the fall colors showing up! Here's a fall color of a different sort in the American south... the bright red seeds of the Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora). They look like candy to me!

Geese in formation as the sun gets low in the west

And a newly toothless smile

Thanks pentaximus

I've only just started playing with these two lenses. At this stage I prefer the 45-125 over the 35-70 but I think I need more time with both to really say.

I just find the 35-70 to be sooooo reliable: quick-focusing and always sharp. My shots above are all with the 35-70.

thanks for your thoughts. i'll keep on working with the 35-70 and see how I go

jimr-pdx · 10-15-2012, 09:24 PM

I'll toss in a few from my 10/9 hike in northern Washington, with the K-5.

DA40 Ltd, huckleberry shrubs and larch backlit

Also the DA40, granite with larch background -

wolfiegirl: I like the colors & sharpness of that 45-125 - good looking shots.
pentaximus: great lighting on the geese!

Thanks Paul

I'm with you, I also like the colour and sharpness of this lens. I think I'll leave it on the camera for a little while and see what other things I might grab. Rest of this week is gonna be busy so not sure at this stage if I'll get much more posted, but we'll see.

@wolfiegirl - Fantastic shots! I really need to plan a trip one of these days to Australia and New Zealand. The scenery is just superb!

@Pentaximus - Great photos! The detail on the seed pod is spectacular!

@jimr-pdx - You really nailed the colors on that huckleberry and larch shot. Love the backlighting - very serene!

@reeftool - The BW on these shots really makes the photos IMO. It lends a bit of reality to the time period that is being created. Nice job!

I had the travelling Nifty Fifty with me for a few days-these are some pics, along with a few others.

This with the kit lens-Johannesburg from the Carlton centre, at one stage the tallest building in Africa. There are views north, south east and west.

A bit later

Someone left their fig behind at the botanical gardens I visited.

The peaches are still green

And matching flowers to wolfiegirls (i'm sure these Australians stole our flowers-there are so many of exactly the same flowers)

**paulh** · 10-16-2012, 01:47 PM

Nice set Noel - I really like the lighting & composition on the ducks/geese shot - great!

glennbp · 10-16-2012, 03:00 PM

@noelcmn - Beautiful photos! I especially like the ducklings (goslings?) shot. The detail is spot on. Did you use the 50mm lens?
