No K-1 pictures in Photo Gallery yet?

micromacro · 08-28-2016, 05:04 PM

I've tried to search photo gallery by camera and lenses , and could not find any K-1 listed.
Did I miss it, or no one has submitted K-1 pictures there?
There are so many great pictures here, people!

Do you mean here? I used "Search this Forum" and got hits.

I raised the PPG/K-1 topic a little while ago here: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/173-general-photography/326697-there-future-ppg.html I know of at least one other thread on the topic too.

'They', whoever is responsible for the PPG, have not added the K-1. I thought it a bit odd hence I started the thread. There is the K-1 Lab as people are referring to for posting K-1 images but I've no idea how to go about it, and personally I don't think I'll bother posting anywhere other than Flickr and from time to time the forums. Whilst it's a shame to have to say it, if the PPG is not going to have a future then why bother posting there anymore?

I thought it's because no K-1 shooters submitted their images to the gallery.
Honestly, I had no clue that there is no category for K-1.

Yeah, I didn't either until I tried to post my first K-1 image and realised they hadn't added the camera into the camera list. And from memory one or two of the new D-FA's weren't listed either.

I don't know if the PPG is being actively maintained. I submitted photos to PPG and it took about four months before they got approved. I agree with Tas, I don't think there's much future in the PPG at this point.

Upon reading this thread, I just went to the PPG site to check on the status of some K-1 photos that I had submitted there, back on July 2, even though there was no way to tag them as such, at the time. They are still "Pending Artist Voting". (BTW one thing that might help speed this process along might be if more people who submitted photos would also participate in the voting process.) I always try to spend some time voting whenever I go there, whatever the reason that takes me there.

While I am voting, a part of my process is that I always check the EXIF on an image that appeals to me, as I am always curious to see that part of the process. This is the first time that I am seeing the K-1 in there. So I can verify the that K-1 photos, other than my own are at least in the process.

No K-1 in the camera list

It must be pulling the camera model from the image EXIF when you upload your photo, because the photos in the voting cue have been showing K-1 in their submission EXIF.

It has been a month since I have submitted anything there and it didn't have it then. It could have been added since.

I emailed PPG and waiting too long. I think PPG Owner quit or hospital or whatever. I guess owner is no longer PPG!!??

I tried to add pictures taken with the K-1 and it's not listed. I asked the very same question you asked in another thread. It appears that, sadly, even though Pentax has a small gem in their hands with the PPG, they are forgetting it's even there.
