OK, so I'm 24, I haven't taken any photos in a few years, last time I was 18.. so 6 years ago... here are those photos...
Photography pictures by 1D4y4a0d - Photobucket
The Yellowstone shots where taken with a 1981 Sears boughten Chinon CE-5 with a 35-70mm chinar lens, and Fujifilm SuperHQ 400, I had driven as a passenger 14 hrs and realized I didn't have one roll of film with me, so we stopped at the first gas station I could find and they only have SuperHQ so I bought it instead of the other films... if only I had the 2 rolls of reala I thought I had left hehe.... I usually take 2-3 exposures per scene, manual exp compensation you know, it's an older camera so I couldn't trust the meter. In fact the meter is what eventually went out on it which is why I trashed it, plus the leather wrap on the outside peeled off.
The Mt. Rainier shots are taken from my property, our view of Mt. Rainier from Olympia, WA, taken with a Minolta Maxxum HTsi plus with a 70-300mm Quantaray for Minolta micro capable lens on a tripod. I stood on top of my sisters old Honda CVCC from 1960s that is a junk car and it had a divot in the roof and filled with water, I slipped on some ice that formed in the middle and fell on my butt on the top of this car and stood back up and took the shot hehe... I was 18 like I said so this was all fun and quite enjoyable experience.
Just about every shot was taken with the Minolta except for the Yellowstone shots... the bird was Minolta and the rest were Minolta.
So I decided on this setup...
K20D Used, 700.00
SMC Pentax-F 28mm F2.8 200.00
SMC Pentax-M 200mm F4 100.00
SMC Pentax-FA 100-300mm F4.7-5.8 100.00
I will be ordering these in less than two weeks... are my choices exemplary for a poor bastada hahaha.
I think I will succeed in obtaining choice images since the whole time without a camera I have never stopped imaging, how I would take a photo of everything I looked at... so I hope it's still with me...
Any advice, bad choices? Tiips? K-x? or is K20d for extra 100$ smart decision?
