Pentaxians Dec 2009 Outing - Post Your Photos


Here are some from the night, all taken by K7+K17/4 fisheye handheld.

Wow! I liked looking at this while scrolling the mouse up and down. :sweatsm:
 

All the photos are beautiful and lovely.

For me, looking at Ben's, Denis', and Fengwei's photographs (in no particular order but alphabetical) makes me super duper inspired. Makes me want to shoot more, compose better, and improve. :)

In fact I am learning new ideas all the time. I try to limit myself to shooting no more than 3 shots of the same subject, but sometimes got carried away. However, before doing it, have to visualize the story in each picture and what you want to show. For instance, I want to show the M42 TAIR-11A 135/2.8 is a good lens (in my opinion) in these 3 pics. :bsmilie:

I really like this line as it covers what good photos are all about.

I've heard good things about the TAIR, especially the 300mm one. Do you have that lens in your arsenal of exotic lenses?

Your TAIR-11A 135/2.8 is a good lens. I've only heard about TAIR about a week ago, probably less. Rumors had it that they don't grow fungus... speculations are that they are radioactively coated. That I cannot verify but considering how the russians were back then, it wouldn't be a surprise if the glass in the lenses are built for space travel like the sputnik. :dunno:
 

I'm not there during the pentax outing but still taking pic somewhere else.;)

19 DEC my eldest daughter bernice's birthday.:cheergal:

The only TAIR I have is the 135/2.8. Perhaps I search info on 300mm. Before I bought it, I read about the good review of this lens. About radioactively coated, I already stopped at 3.:bsmilie:
I have a X-Ray survey meter in my office, can check if there is really µSv reading on the lens.
 

My last 3 contribution.
Thanks for viewing guys.:)

I hope that this is nobody's colleague here. Accidental shot...was taking the pavillion. Did not realised they were there until relook at the photo. Cropped pics.

This pic below appeal to my warped sense that stone leaves are also becoming green.
