Monthly Photo Challenges

A home for the monthly photo challenges. Come on in!

Astrophotography

There are so many stars that we can't see with the naked eye. Thankfully our cameras can! Please share your pictures of the heavens here. Please be descriptive when giving details of how you obtained the shot (i.e. lens used, exposure time, f/stop, ISO, etc.) so that others may learn from your experience. Thank you. “Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.” -Edwin Hubble

Daily Challenge (By Month)

Inspired by the Single In Monthly Challenge, participants aim to shoot and post one picture per day for the given month and comment on each others contributions, using any camera gear they want.

Heavy Pentax - for 6X7 format users

Just because Pentax doesn't produce this size format camera, does not mean folks stopped using it. Although the medium format group exist, the discussions on this format are few and far between. Pro and amateurs are invited... please be nice to each other and respect one another. Newbie question should always be respected... we must grow as a group and encourage fellow film users!

Macro Photography

This is the place to share your ideas and techniques on macro photography, to ask questions, and to start discussions on this topic. This is the place where we can help each other further with ideas, technical solutions, the acquisition and choice of gear etc. Whether you're a prolific and experienced macro shooter, or just a starter in macro photography, you're most welcome to join!

Japan

A group for Pentax forum members who are in Japan or have an interest in Japan

K1 ~ Owners, Groupies, and Wannabes

The best thing to come along since the invention of the K mount system. Finally, a camera that will make every K mount lens ever made shine. Add to that all the M42 glass. What a great time to be a Pentaxian.
