Sail Competition in Torrential Rain

Optio A30 is a nice addition here. Interesting B&W pictures.




Taken 2012/07 using K-m while hiding from that rain on a canoe trip.

You seem to have been the only one avoiding rain that day..

I am confused on my Nikon D200 (similar sensor to the Pentax K10D). It all happened when I found a cheap 80-200mm f/2.8 AF lens, and this camera happened to have been included with the purchase. Never really wanted this old CCD DSLR.
My primary DSLR is the Nikon D800, which also happens to share also a similar sensor to the Pentax K1, so you could see why I didn't want to bother with it .


But holy smokes, whether it is the sensor, the CFA, hardware, or wizardry, I cannot get enough of how I love when I take high contrast pictures.



The final light of autumn was touching down and I wanted to test an old Nikon 50mm f/1.4 that I had. Really nice lens, resolves a lot of detail.

This was taken around November as I was bored out of mind (COVID-19) and realized I have never gone out for a photography walk during winter. What a perfect excuse, especially since I wasn't worried about this old camera if it had a malfunction.


I think these images show off my inexperience with how these sensors don't have the wide dynamic range that modern sensors have- but something about the look I can't get enough of!

There's enough dynamic range to pull some useful details out of the shadows on a sunny day, when you shoot in RAW. At least with the K10D/K200D which have this sensor or a variation of it, I can do that. The RAW files also have quite a bit more detail than the primitive JPEG engines in the Pentax and Nikon cameras can show.
Imagine what you'll be able to do once you "learn" this sensor

Beautiful shot. I like the color. It's a pity that the crop, I would like to look at the pixels.)

Of course I can do it). I still don't see the full resolution that a photo camera is capable of.
On the other hand, it doesn't matter, I can't afford such expensive equipment.)
