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.

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

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!

Japan

Wildlife Photography

I nearly called this "Wildlife Pentaxians" but thought that it might attract members looking for something a little different to the intended subject. Pentax perhaps doesn't make it as easy as some other manufacturers (who shall remain nameless) to excel in wildlife photography when the longest current new lens we can get is a DA*300 and third party manufacturers don't always support the brand. So how about we help each other to push the limits of what we can achieve with our Pentax cameras sharing thoughts/experience re equipment, techniques etc. Perhaps we could also arrange get togethers in whatever part of the world we happen to live and share information re good places to shoot.
