Weekly Challenge #603 - Gear Porn
Posted By: UncleVanya, 01-31-2023, 10:50 PM

Who doesn’t appreciate a well executed gear shot? This week I want you to celebrate your GAS by taking pictures of your gear using your other gear. Show off your collection, or highlight a single piece; shoot it gritty and stark, or give it a surreal feeling with most of it out of focus. Below are some examples from my own shots…

The fine print:

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.


Rules:
1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Shot in concert with the Single in February challenge. Haven't done one of those since 2013 IIRC. Decided I couldn't convert this to B/W due to the rich tones of the bar and the contrast it created with the silver and black.

Why mess with that dinky l'il Q-thing? After a mile or two on the trail you won't even remember you have it with you!

While I was wondering what and how to shoot from my photo gear The K3 III got bored and decided to take selfie.


With his twin by delivery- the HD FA 77ltd.

Same of my old prime lenses. I took this shot because I thought the different colours of reflections were interesting.
