Hi all, the photo attached was taken in November 2014, when me and my friend Radek set out to the mountains for some sunset/sunrise shots. This one was however taken at night, and it is one of my favourites. Hope you like it.
I've set ISO 3200, 15 sec exposure, and stopped the lens down to f/5 for better DoF and clarity. The foreground is lit only by the moonlight.

Hi all,
this is my first participation in PF contests, but the chance to win the 50mm prime lens was just too tempting :-)
So why should I win? Perhaps because I've never owned a prime lens, and I am convinced that it would be a perfect companion to my Pentax K-30 with set 18-55 lens. I use this combo primarily for mountain hiking + landscape photography, and I'm very happy with it. (Weather Resistance rocks! I can take pictures while my friends are fearfully hiding their cameras under their waterproof jackets, haha!)
50/f1.8 will allow me to reach more serious portrait and action photography. And perhaps more importantly, I keep hearing that single focal length forces you to concentrate much more on composition and your photos generally, than on your gear. And that's what I'd really like to try.
And here's a photo I took one beautiful evening about a month ago. Hope you like it :-)

I use M mode to set the fixed exposure for panoramas. In Av mode the camera would measure light differently for every bracketed 3-tuple and I would get differently exposed shots in my panorama.

Hi all,
I have recently found out that my K-30 changes both exposure time AND aperture when making bracketed shots. Is there any way to keep the aperture constant and change only the exposure time (other than to use M mode and change the time manually for each shot)?
Thanks,
Viktor
