My K-01 Diary

mervis · 03-30-2012, 07:47 PM - **1 Like**

Hi Everybody.

I've started a Tumblr blog devoted to my K-01 images: Stanley & The Revolting Contraption

Some of the images you may have seen here already, others will be new. With just enough text for brief explanatory purposes. In the process of bringing it up to date now, but I thought I'd post a link as I continue updating. Once that's done, I'll be adding new photos every few days.

Click the "About This Blog" button for my mission statement and an explanation of the blog's name.

Enjoy!

Lovely images -- you just gained a follower.

Still, I can't help but wonder how much better these images would be if you used a real camera.

and another follower here! Great shots all around and hoping to see more!

Cool site. I'll have to sign up and follow you. I love the premise of your site.

I just added you to my blog list on my blog FLASH OF LIGHT. Can't wait to see more. If possible could you post the lens you used with your photos.

Yeah. I'm working on that. Tried already but it looked messy. I'm using four lenses right now and for the foreseeable future: 21mm f3.2 Ltd., 40mm f2.8 XS. 70mm f2.4 Ltd., and a manual-focus oldie, the 200mm f4 SMC. If I can figure out a graceful way to include the info with images, I will, but right now I'm just trying to catch up.

To everyone, thanks for the kind words.

Also, tigerzen, thanks for blogrolling me. I will do the same when I get around to bloggy details like that.

It would help people find your site if you tag it appropriately. Tumblr has a tool for doing this in batches -- from memory it's called the "Mass Post Editor".

Thanks. Good idea!

Nice photos. You should try to send this link to Steve Huff, maybe he might change his mind on it as a credible street camera.

mervis · 04-01-2012, 09:00 AM

Cheers. Just added a few more Sunday morning. Will update periodically if that's all right.

Really nice stuff.

I'd really encourage you to submit to Steve Huff's site.
Here is the link.
Submit your image for "Pic of the Day" | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS

Enough ppl and street photography types follow his blog.
Give the K-01 some deserved publicity.
