You might have thought that was a picture of a yellow trumpet flower, but it was actually a picture of an Ant.

Soligor 20.0 mm F8? 1/125 ISO100
I wanted to pixel shift this one so bad to better catch the transition from bright to shadow, but it was windy and there was the fountain, so I knew it wouldn't work... I guess a sideways Grad ND filter might have helped too, but as it stands, it sorta is OK I guess.

A Locked Door (DFA 100 macro with pixel-shift)

Great subject for pixelshift, came out really nice!
As a side note, I wonder if the screw on the trim plate is original...

Superb shots all !

A trip into the city on the way to photograph a gig in the evening, wasted some time shooting various bits of Sydney along the way. More can be found shot with the KP here.

Nice long exposures !

A Locked Door (DFA 100 macro with pixel-shift)

I like this photograph quite a bit.

Looks like a room key (room 29 ?) for an old hotel...circa 1890's-early 1900's. The way you've taken the photo adds a bit of intrigue and mystery. Very well done.

There's been quite a bit of rain this weekend here in south Florida so I suggested we maybe reschedule our shoot. To which Emily replied that she didn't care about getting wet she just wanted to shoot. She asked if my camera could take some rain and I said yes.

Nice model shots as usual Chris.

K1+FA*80-200/2.8

There is always a lot of hearsay and unsubstantiated claims about Pentax AF, so I took it for a spin to see it all the talk was "true".
From the great number of photos I have posted here before you guys know that I am a really "well practiced sports shooter" (ie. 0 picts; NOT )

We can always find big claims from shooters who say that their camera/lens failed them for this and that and that the next brand or next shiny new camera/lens will be a game changer. (Insert the mandatory "I'm moving to BrandX the grass is so green here and all you guys are suckers" )
Usually, you find them saying the same thing next year with the next camera.

So, in the end, I feel that there is a lot of "buy in" into the thinking that the latest gear is "essential" for this and that of a photographer's needs, but to me, it is really the photographer and the skills he has picked up along his journey in photography that will see him thru, rather than the gears.

Wouldn't it be nicer if the narrative is
"I had a hard situation that I wanted to cover, slapped on the lens I had available, dug into my recollection of rather similar scenarios I had shot, used those skill sets and got the job done"

I like your discussion. But much more I like the expression on the runner's face. Takes me back to the emotions of high school sports.

Thank you kindly. Even though I am pretty much mostly a prime shooter I have often fantasized about the FA 80-200 actually much more so than the newer 70-200. I think you used it well for this situation. Would be kind of interested to see a color version though.
