Taken pre-pandemic. This is a statue at the graveyard where my in-laws are buried, in the middle of farmland in southeastern South Dakota. It was a hot, very sunny summer day so I struggled with the exposure. A little bit of tweaking to get the effect I was looking for. It's a beautiful spot, surrounded by lakes, farms and miles and miles of quiet.

Pentax K-70 Giveaway Mom's Eyes

I particularly like taking two kinds of photos: candid shots of people and places, where I'm able to capture an unexpected moment or see the world in a surprising way; and because I'm a theater director, I like taking rehearsal and performance shots of the plays I direct. I feel they capture the spirit of the performances much better than staged "photo call" shots.

I took this picture of my mother off the cuff and with very little preplanning, but I think it captures something about her. At 87 she's sharp as a tack and kind as the day is long.

A Pentax K-70 would help me capture the spontaneous moments I'm interested in. My K-500 has been a great starter camera, but it's starting to show its age. It suffers from the well-known autofocus issue, and for some reason the date and time stored in metadata is all over the map; nearly every photo I've taken this year says it was shot on January 1, 2013, before I even owned the camera (BTW, this pic was shot on Thanksgiving 2021). The higher resolution, better low-light capabilities and better - heck, functioning - autofocus of the K-70 would help me capture the world as I see it.

Thanks for a chance to enter the contest!

Just getting back into this after a long hiatus. The light wasn't great - overcast and grey - and I was using a Beck's 135 mm lens which isn't the sharpest, but I still enjoyed this capture.

Question How do I delete attachments?

I know this has been asked before, but I still can't tell how to do it. I would like to delete my attachments from older threads to free up some space.

I'm on a Mac if that makes any difference. Is there a particular browser I need to use?

Thanks

Roy
