K-1 & an Indian Performance

My first experience shooting the K1 in a very low light environment. These were taken at an Indian Religious Celebration - Not sure that they are great shots in the Pixel Peeping sense of the word but I like the feel and the overall moments.

Nice pics, captured the right moment. What is the occasion & place, do upload more of them?

really happy to see the rare phenomenon of an Indian using a Pentax camera!!

. I'd love to get my hands on the K-70 (K-1 is out of my budget) but there's no clue when it'd be available in India, plus lens issues.

Nice shots. I agree they have a nice feel to them. Particularly like the framing of the second shot.
Also at those image sizes you certainly not guess its ISO 6400 - the K-1 performs nicely.

Always shot Pentax - a brief foray into the worlds of Canikon and came right back to what I love

Awesome ISO performance. Have been wanting to get the K1, waiting on a good deal....
