Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

An early start to the trek home today allowed me a break at Wollongong Harbour, just under an hour's drive south of Sydney. A fairly big swell was pounding the coast and some local lads were having a great time.



And here's another shot for context and a patch of red.



Both shots with K1 + DFA 15-30/2.8

Pentax 645 + Pentax-A 645 45mm f/2.8.

Today's photo of Lincoln's right eye from a $5 bill does double duty as it is also posted in the 52 Project 2017 - Macro Edition group for this week's theme - Eye.. There are some reddish/pink patches included.

Wanted to have a play with my new filters, but the light just wasn't there. So instead my take on the christmas light bokeh balls.


Sigma 17-50 f2.8 on K-S2.

Drizzling rain and our first real cold is moving in today, so I'm opting for a safety shot, from safely indoors.

This was after work about 1am this morning. It was raining and I thought I would get the red traffic light reflections.
The camera would not focus and this is the result, and seeing when it did finally focus I like the error better. Its pouring out now and I cant see me getting any better.

More rain here too, but it did stop for a while, and I was able to at least finish my 9km walk today at Zoo Lake, where I found this fella on the wall. He has some red to comply with the theme.


Or I'll risk being accused of having a fetish for .... shoes

K-3, Rokinon 8mm (first version - non-detachable hood) (Cropped)

I missed the sun today so I had to do some inside work with the flash this evening. Shot with the K-1 and D FA 100mm Macro.

flashback to last month

Early morning light and back at work.
K-5IIs and Tamron SP Adaptall-2 35-80mm f2.8/3.8 (01A)

The 10:00 pm curfew and the smoke hiding the fires forced me to look inside for the Daily shot.

Perhaps I ought to be checking these a bit more often...
I lifted up my garage extinguisher, the pin fell out, fine dust spilled out, and the pressure gauge pointed nicely to 0. Oops. And it's not like I am unaware of how quickly small fires can spread.

Extinguished...

K-3ii with Pentax-A 50mm F/1.4

This will be rectified tomorrow.

It's kinda challenging to find the reds every day, not giving up! E-M5 with M.25 f1.8
