Sorry, no time to arrange a selfie/belfie with a 200mm. Another tourist shot, but with some thought nevertheless.



K1 + K 200/4 @ f11 uncropped.

A suburban letterbox;

As I was rigging the sail, I put camera on stand to shoot on 5s intervals for 50 shots. A lot easier then taking single shots with timer.

K5 M50/2 ISO100 f8 1/125:


Got plenty of shots to choose from. So many that, as a second, I made a collection of them so I don't have to choose :

Tripod and remote today. K5 with Pentax F 35-135

Is it selfie day?!?! I don't know it it's possible to take a selfie with a 200mm but this shot of a pine cone is pretty close. (I'm green and prickly too)

Super Takumar 200mm f4 on a K5ii

This is the first time I've ever posted a photo of myself on flickr. I took this as a typical selfie except that, unlike a cell phone, I knew where to look with a zoom lens in my face. This camera is new and I've not done a timed shot. It never even occurred to me to use my remote (wherever it is). Anticipating a B&W finish, I wanted a play of light and shadow and, in the end I'm rather chuffed with this. A new author photo for the next time I need one.

Taken on the 22nd and illegally sent back in time to atone for my omission. Sorry.

The MFD of the SKCU is *just* sufficient for an arm's length selfie. Holding this rig one handed like that is no easy task though, and the angle of view is a wee bit tight

could not pass up the fog



but also knew there needed to be a selfie





K-3 with SMC A 200mm f4

I also missed the theme day,and have also only done this once before with my phone. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make amends today, though, and use a lens I could easily hold at arms length (must be about the only one here...). I chose the soft light of the lamp that serves here as a night light - it was just kinder.
