A load of wood collected after work today

K1 FA* 24mm 1:2

Takumar 200/3.5. After a very, very wet night. There's not normally water at the base. A change in perspective from my normal bokeh-shots, so I thought I'd post it here. However, I still managed to take and post on Flickr two photos of roses closer up and wide open, with lots of bokeh.

Need to take these landscapes while there's still weather for it.

K5 M50/1.4 ISO80 f8 1/200:


Autumn colors have been awesome for the last week, but soon all the leaves will be on the ground:

Shabby house boat with the Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar DDR 50/2.8 (next challenge I want a lens with a short name ) Stitched from two images as I couldn't take enough distance). I think it's the colours fit well with the autumn colours surrounding it.

Day 15, FA 35 + K-1

Day 15 and I haven't been driven mad by the constraints of the 135mm ...... Yet

I was wanting to try some isolations and the sun was shining. The first is just vegetation, the second is a rose that I photographed yesterday with the chinon. Talking of the chinon, bottom are two pics of the bee house. One taken with the chinon (tomioka) the other taken today with the Schneider kreuznach edixa tele xenon 135mm f3.5, both on the K3

Another wet dismal day. Trying to avoid wet leaf shots so here is a Mondrian style path. K3 with Pentax A 50/1.7



And a sweet little shot.



There are high ISO wet leaves on Flickr...

Day 15, outside, I have been meaning to get shots of these nuisance and destructive bugs for awhile now. So a bud was coming on, and it's covered in them.




Pentax FA 28-105mm f3.2 @105mm f13 ISO1000, 1/180s, flash fired minus 3. I was using TAV so I don't understand why it set the ISO so high.

This might stretch the defintion of "single" but this is a 10-shot panorama of my front yard with the K-3ii and the Auto Chinon 50mm f/1.9:

K-3 with Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM

A bit late but I am up so here it is. The pennies are not overly special or valuable except for the fact that my uncle probably collected them in the 1930s and they eventually made it to me. Quite fun. And perhaps of my grand daughters will be able to bring them out to show their grand children when the coins are 200 years old.

A penny for your thoughts, but not one of these ones.

K-3ii with Pentax-M 50mm F4.0 Macro with Flash.

On flickr from the same collection of coins are two shots of a well worn Liberty V nickel with the flash at slightly different angles. One appears like a blank disk of metal but in the other you can begin to see the outline.
