Hello Fellow Members
Yes, I am still alive n kicking busy shooting with my trusty Pentax, not to mention the constant praise and thumbs-up I give to all other Pentax users and thumbs-down to those, retail shops & users especially, where Canon;) and Nikon:hmm: seem to dominate and carry on about their product.. And there is nothing worse, when shopping for Pentax gear, to hear the words......' Sorry, but we do not have much in the way of Pentax, but we can order it in'. Grrrrrrrr:mad:
At least Pentax has one over Canon & Nikon, they do not have the vertical/horizontal picture view when rotating the camera, after a shot is taken. And their bodies are no where near as strongly built to last as Pentax which is a proven fact.
Crykeeeee! (aussie slang) I own a Pentax K-7, K-5iis, recently acquired K-3, my old film MZ50 (still going strong) and I am bloody proud as punch of all. That includes numerous Pentax and 3rd party lenses.
Hey, do not get me wrong...I respect and accept non Pentax users...but at the end of the day my loyalty rests with PENTAX (obviously its Ricoh now).
Anyway, lets get back on track. The reason for this essay in order to win this Pentax DA 50mm f1.8, is because, ...I do not have one.
I do have an older Sigma 50mm f1.4, but planning to sell it, as its quality does not meet my expectations. And to own a Pentax 50mm prime could just about complete my collection, which includes lots n lots of better quality portrait pics of my grand-kids......as well as my wife of course:)
So therefor I shall submit my photo taken in the Pilbarra region called Yandicoogina, where a company RioTinto (who I work for) is mining for Iron Ore and where its surrounds can sometimes be quite breathtaking. This time thou, I decided to enter a photo, which is a panoramic view looking down into a pit which was formerly excavated and is now a haven for some of the outback wildlife, ....but soon to be refilled and never seen again.
I do hope, win or lose, that this rare view gives some people an insight of an extraordinary view on 'Landscape'.
Please enjoy its nature!
