This thread is for pictures taken in the ”21 in 21” challenge: shooting in 2021 with the DA21 (some thematically; me boots and all going for every day).

Please keep main images to 1024 long side; any secondary image/s should be smaller.

I’ll start:

11th - more china; an easy option when I don’t get another shot during the day

Sitting Pretty by -Occasionally Focused-

12th - spent the day with the lens wide-open. It did beautifully. I really like the bokeh here.

Just me it seems - but I’ve realised it going to be a long thread anyway, by the time New Year’s Eve rolls around

Well, here goes. Eight from this morning (21 January) ... the first two are my favourites, then there's a collation of the other six (individual frames on Flickr here). All taken with the KP.

Mine for the 21st

I only replaced my original HD DA21 last year after getting a KP..... anyway... based on my old posts with my previous HD DA21... this is a new dog with new HD DA21 on the old beach with older me. I have to train Ollie to be more patient.

Beach with dog

I bought the KP as my "in the car" always kit..... normally with DA 10-17, 21, 43, 90 Tamron and F*300/4.5. When caravanning around the place and exploring a town I just take the KP with the 21 on it.

I prefer this crop

Dog with beach

I love my 21mm

I was amazed that it wasn't in the finals of the lens tournament because it is just so capable. Today I plonked it on my KP and headed for the Ashton memorial, high on the hill above Lancaster.

And shooting into the sun

Two from me with K-3 + DA21 (red ring). What a wonderful versatile lens!

Using the 21 on the 21st day in the 21st year of the 21st century. With a gratuitous starburst.

Two very different, and equally excellent, pics - versatile indeed
