To CheddarGav: The 43 is soooo nice. I don't think you'll be disappointed! Yeah, it does people, but it can do landscapes too, just like the DA 21!

THIS must be what they mean by photographing light.

Thanks so much, NaClH20. I have a blog where I mostly write about photography stuff and I really like explaining how I take or process shots. I hadn't done a post on this photo, but now I just might.
The blog is at A Scenic World |

That's an awesome shot! I had no idea how difficult it was to shoot fish until I tried - and out of 3,000 photos on my flickr site, none of them are fish :) The air bubbles really add another dimension to it, and you nailed the focus. I really like working with extension tubes myself, but you must have been quick to get this shot!
The bokeh in my photo was actually made from a fountain. It's one of those that had a small bowl at the top that spills into a large bowl at the bottom. I was sitting on the edge of the large bowl. The light had to hit the water at exactly the right time and at the right angle to the camera to make the effect.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with flash, so no, no flash on this one.

Oooh, I can't believe you know that picture! I think this is the one you're talking about:
#172 of 365: Today It Rained Bokeh on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
I'd gotten the concept when I took photos of a friend at that place one day, and I went back the next at the same time to do a self-portrait there. I had timed it the day before, and the sun was only in the right spot for about 3 minutes. It took quite some tries with the tripod and timer to get that one right.
I chose Pentax as a camera system because of a shot I saw on flickr with the 77 years ago, so if I run across the guy who took that photo, we'll know for sure just how small this world is. I'm glad I could help you out - I'm guessing you don't regret your decision? ;)
