Today's sunset had a chance to be good, so I just cycled to a vantage point I had wanted to try out and see how it turned out.

K1+K24/2.8

Composition adjusted to get more of the road below and multi-exposure for the traffic trails.
The K1 is such a wonder image making camera, all these features that don't catch the eye on a spec sheet review, but is so wonderful for real image making.

Might have been better for the light trails if it was darker, but 15mins was all I had for shooting before going home for the next chore.

Swee lor! Bojio!
 


K1 + HD DFA 24-70 @24mm




Did not have chance to shoot fireworks, but got a serene morning reflection after all the fireworks the night before.

Better try to do it yourself, learn using swipes or pentax cleaner. will be a repetitive issue over time.;)

I couldn't find much tutorials on the K-1 video usage. In video recording, in Af mode, how do I get the video camera to auto-focus as I pan from foreground subjects to distant background ? I tried it but it only focus with I half pressed the shutter, which will result in a focusing noise being captured. Sigh !
Thanks !

Not a video person but my feel is that when shooting video, the videographer might prefer to manual focus as you have mentioned, using autofocus is quite noisy unless you are using those SDM lenses
