Wonderful shots, CR, subsea and Peter!

Another one from Harbor Village in Ventura with the DA18-135. I took this from a 3rd story observation deck at the Channel Islands Nat. Park visitor center. Jpeg from the K10D:

I had a trip to Yosemite coming up and spent a ton of time re-learning the camera. It was a blast, and I experimented with multiple settings and got some great pics and some not so good. I have a ton of pics I need to study the exif data. Normally I carry a little notebook and jot down what my settings were, but alas in packing for the trip, the notebook failed to make it.
All of these pictures are straight from the camera. I did not do any post processing, a personal preference, as I am trying to deliver the best the camera can deliver.

This is the Toulumne River that normally is rushing with rapids everywhere, it was very unusual to see it this calm. This is the river that feeds San Francisco it's water.

Dial was on Green
ISO - 100
Aperture - 8
Shutter 1/280

This is Mt. Conness, which is very bright. I wanted to see how the camera dealt with the extremes of the bright mountian and the dark trees.

Lens: smc PENTAX-DA 16-45mm F4 ED AL
Shot at 45 mm
Exposure: Auto exposure, Program AE, 1/250 sec, f/6.7, ISO 100
Focus: Manual

The goal here was to get the minute details of the stain on this Granite Dome. This dome was under a glacier and while there are quite a few vertical stains from water, just left center you can see the horizontal stains as the glacier scraped the granite. Once again this was taken with the dial set to Green

Lens: smc PENTAX-DA 16-45mm F4 ED AL
Shot at 21 mm
Exposure: Auto exposure, Program AE, 1/350 sec, f/6.7, ISO 100
Focus: Manual

This is a tiny wildflower called Gayopythum. I shot it with a manual Pentax 70-210 with Macro. It was a bit windy, so I am surprised it came out as clear as it did. I thought I had the dial set to manual, but exif says otherwise, so it may not pick up manual lens info.

Lens: K or M Lens 40 mm
Exposure: Auto exposure, Aperture-priority AE, 1/250 sec, ISO 100
Focus: Manual

One of my favorite waterfalls in the park. Toulumne Falls. I setup for shutter priority and used the front dial to change shutter speeds. Loved the simplicity

Lens: smc PENTAX-DA 16-45mm F4 ED AL
Shot at 45 mm
Exposure: Auto exposure, Not Defined, 1/180 sec, f/6.7, ISO 100
Focus: Manual

Same waterfall with a much slower shutter speed and the kit lens

Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC
Shot at 35 mm
Exposure: Auto exposure, Shutter priority AE, 1/10 sec, f/19, ISO 100
Focus: Manual

This is Toulumne Meadow, the largest meadow in the Sierra, the mountains in the distance are Mt Dana and Mt. Lyell the two tallest peaks in Yosemite. My goal was to shoot different settings while shooting a mountian scene. AE seemed to be the best.

smc PENTAX-DA 16-45mm F4 ED AL
Shot at 29 mm
Exposure: Auto exposure, Program AE, 1/350 sec, f/6.7, ISO 100
Focus: Manual

Haha, yep, it looks deceiving, but that is the perspective I was looking for, hence the 100mm. I was a fair way back from the crossing, they did give me a toot, this was the last shot I got from on the tracks, then I moved. I had a chat with them up at Quorn when they let me up in the engine to take some snaps and said I will be up there taking some shots and they said it's fine.

It's a great part of the world. I wasn't there for the train, just driving though and it was parked up at the station, so couldn't resist getting some snaps. The day before was an old diesel rig running down the old track
