Hello, everyone.
I haven't posted here in a while.
In January, I bought a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 lens.
I still love the image quality of my Pentax 16-45 f4 lens, but I wanted an f2.8 lens to focus better in low-light situations.
Here is a example from a recent model workshop.
Mike :)

Hello, all.
A shot from a recent model workshop.
I usually don't like the K-01 pastel effect when used on a portrait, but I think it works well here.
K-01 with DA70mm @ f4.0.
I would love to use my Taks for portraits, but a model workshop is too hectic, and quick-paced.
Mike :)

Chris, I thought that was one of your photos before I saw it was you. :)
I like how the model's arms echo the branches.
A pleasing image.
I prefer the black & white.

Thank you very much, TaoMaas, and luftfluss.
This image would not have been possible without my Lensbaby.
Hence, I will begin using it more often.
Don't you just love old English words? ;)

Lately, I've been wanting to create still life shots different than the usual bowl of fruit, so yesterday I tried.
I love my Lensbaby for still life shots, so I got a few props together, and this is the result.
The EXIF is incorrect, the lens used was my Lensbaby 3-G.
The props were simple:
A bottle of cherry liqueur, a Venetian mask, and one of my mandolins: a Puerto Rican Cuatro.
I am not a good player, but rather, a collector.
Window light from the left.
Then, I processed the image in camera with the K-01's digital filter. First, posterization, then the pastel effect.
Lensbaby set at f4.
For an hour's effort, I'm pleased with it.
Mike :)

Here are two real women, and one, while not real, defends us against evil.
The lens used on the third photo was the M100mm macro.

Very nice, GeneV.
I like the second one best.
Do you make the jewelry?

Here are three more of this model, who was very pleasant to work with.
Her name is: Allison Elizabeth Sutherland.
Again, please forgive the less than ideal background details.
Photo #1.) I asked her to close her eyes for this shot. So innocent, yet sensual.
Photo # 2.) Not all good photos are taken from the front. She did have very nice hair.
Photo # 3.) For not using a tripod, I am very satisfied with this shot.
I hope to hire her privately in order to get a better variety of poses with different lenses.
Enjoy.
Mike :)

Thank you very much, PiDicus Rex, I really do appreciate it! :)
I'm busy right now, but I'll post a few more later on.
I love all categories of photography, but portraiture is my favorite.

Hello again, all.
Here are a few photos from a model workshop I went to the other day.
All taken with my favorite combo: K-01, and DA70mm.

All the excellent shots here have inspired me to break out the camera, and the imagination.
It's too cold here in New York for any outside photos, so I did some still life shots. K-01 with M 100 macro. F11.
I call this, "Music, and mirth."
Enjoy, Mike. :lol:

The Pentax K-01/DA16-45mm/AF-540FGZ combination makes your subjects look their best, even when they never look good! :D

Thank you, Anan. :)
Now, I have to see if I can track this woman down, so I can give her a print.

Here's a grab-shot I took at a local street fair of the singer in a band.
Taken with my favorite combo: The K-01 with the DA70 and fill flash.
Treated in Lightroom.

Excellent concept, Chris.
Many people only think about the technical side of photography - which f stop to use, and trying to get the lighting perfect.
This is a great example of a unusual, interesting, and imaginative photo.
Very nicely done.
Mike :)
