Had a snap hailstorm in Sydney this afternoon, so ran down and took a couple of quick shots with my new (used...) Sigma 10-20mm!

Impressive

Wow, some nice shots already in the gallery. It's going to get hot, hotter and even hotter today in Phoenix, Arizona. So I headed to my back yard at 7:00 and tried to take a few macros with my new 16mm close up lens with the 24mm on my Auto 110. That is a very difficult excercise. Not sure I can get the film to Dwaynes and back before the deadline, but hey I did the deed. Have fun people.

p,s, glad to see daffodils still blooming somewhere in the world.

Two quick questions if I may, as I am a virgin poster!

1. If we have posted 3 photos to the competition, can we change any of them i.e. delete and re-upload a different one?

2. Can we "rate" our own photos?

Thanks.

1. It's not a competition, but yes, you can accomplish this by editing your photo.
2. Yes.

Adam, I have a situation and a question:
The shutter was triggered on August 14 at 23:50, in Bulb mode for a 38 minutes exposure and the camera finished the internal processing and writing to card at 00:56 on August 15. At least this is what DCU4 & PhotoMe & my watch are "saying". Is this image qualified for the World Pentax Day gallery?
PS - at least I've now learned something new: in case of long exposures, like in Bulb mode, Pentax stores the date&time of the moment when the shutter is pressed as Creation Date and the moment when the image processing is finalized as Last Modification.

Today is the feast of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary, which is in the region of Antwerp (Flanders) the celebration day of all mothers. So today we had a big family reunion and I loaded my very first SLR, the Pentax Spotmatic F, with a roll of Tmax3200 (dull weather ... But for publishing results, I must force myself to spend the required darkroomtime before 31/8. Maybe "Pentax Day" will give me the drive to get results faster than the regular 3 to 6 months .

Groeten,
Vic

Pkata - If the photo was taken on the 15th, it's good to go. I'll let you be the judge here

As fate would have it, the weather was pretty horrid here today, but I had a great time doing some indoor photography tonight. I'll have a look at the results over the next few days and make sure to post 'em before the 31st. Thx!

Thank you for the answer, Adam. I think I'll post it, but not in the Pentax Day gallery
