K1 with 35mm Limited. I've been having fun trying out the different lenses. The second one is a bit strange but I enjoyed the effect looking through the viewfinder. The corners are dark.

how was the DA 35 lim doing with the K-1? I supposed that was cropped mode? Thanks

Red Mountain reflected in Crystal Lake at dawn, just outside of Ouray, CO, July 2016. K-1 and Fa 20, single exposure. xpost to 20mm club

i love the red mountain pic....its funny, to me, it could have been cropped at 2 or more places closer to the mountain and STILL be a great shot. a wonderful lesson to me on keeping foreground. thanks so much

Nothing strange about getting a shot that good with the FA35/2.8 on the K-1. I rather like mine, but it's a pain cleaning up the corners.

Hi Michiel,
when a boy until my five years old in late 60's, I used to come on holidays (actually, my parents used to take me there with my four brothers) at the Vierville/Mer's Hotel (Omaha beach). I didn't have the opportunity to come back there before I turned 40. Of all days, it finally happened: one of my brothers accidently found the last land to sell and built a house on the cliff overlooking this magical "bloody" landing beach where we used to play... When I came back later at passed 40 years old, all my souvenirs banged my face and I could notice that nothing had ghanged since my childhood: iodin smells, sea walls, blockhaus where we used to play in (blocked for years)... Nevertheless, although nothing changed from this time (World Heritage Site), I now find the beach smaller than in my souvenirs.. But the grounded warship in front of the beach has been taken off since kids used to play on and drowning in it in 90's...
So your photos of Normandy reminds me of pictures that awaken childhood memories. Thank you.

New Year is a time of new resolutions as well as keeping up with the family portraits.

Had some fun doing a portrait that I'd wanted to do for some time.

K1+FA*85/1.4

.LeRolls, take a few days off, relax and rediscover the importance of what is important...and it isn't landscapes! We have plenty of great landscape artists here already, your expertise is needed just where it is at!

Well Norm, you know how I feel about it and we need all the support we can get. Yours is appreciated by squirrels galore that depend on LeRolls for their daily dose of energy boosting motivation!

Regards!

Note: Others can help with their support by offering it here......think of what life would be like in this thread without LeRolls girls...replaced by some trees and hills and other such "landscape" material.

Now I know why @noelpolar likes the DFA 150-450 on the K1 so much. This is the 8th shot I took with this combo.
Cropped to 1641 X 1201 in LR, exposure +0.12, clarity +24, vibrance +24; no other adjustments.

Edit: The first one was rather dark, wasn't it?
Here's a revision with exposure +0.48 and contrast +10.

Edit 2: OK, this is the last one: contrast upped to +50, dehaze +33.

The dog is cropped post to get rid of evidence of a messy living room. The lake shot is full frame. There is a bit of dark in the corners.

I used this lens on the K3 a bit but it didn't stand out for me. On the K1 looking through the viewfinder was interesting.

Very nice!

Did you, or have you, tried the "ASTROTRACER" mode on a shot like this? Does it work on the moon as well?
