Gosh.. I wish I was there..
Great photos guys.. keep it coming..

BTw.. i dont know abt all the bro's here.. but I feel that the photos are so good... i gulped a few times.. maybe because i can "feel" the pain thru these photos

Last but not least, the people pics.

​

I'm loving the 135/2.5 for the headshots. Needs more practice though. No Pentaxian candids this time around. Sorry guys.

Hi Baracus,

With your 135, I think you need not shoot from the hip ya?

Great shots.

I could only stay for a while, so could not take lot of pictures, share some of them.

Great shots.

Thanks Ben.

Hmm.. Hip shooting with a 135mm? I'll be lucky if I manage to fill the frame with an appendage at least. :bsmilie:

Your shots and PP works for me. Good work here!

Which 135 do you have? With AF?

Mine's manual focus, and it gets tricky trying to hit moving subjects. Need more practice..

Thanks Alvan.

It's the SMC K 135/2.5. It's fully manual, of course, which sort of explains why I didn't take as much photos as Desmond and Joseph. :bsmilie:

I tried using for Tamron 70-300mm for a bit but I had to use f8 to get decent sharpness, which also meant that the DOF effect wasn't as pronounced. The 135 at f4 gave much better results. :thumbsup:
