Justin and I would love to have drove in front of you but you drove like a old grandpa, your a grandpa driver and you were the only one who knew how to get there, so I guess it's ok!

Nice!

I have mostly been a Nikon user, but I used Pentax K10D exclusively for a month in NZ, traveled the entire coastline, and the more I used the K10D the more I liked it. Best arrangement of controls I ever had on any camera.

Keep up the good work!

I really like that guitar photograph. The warm tones really give it a pleasant mood.

Thanks for the compliment, and I just started using that lens, but I really like it a lot

Nice shots!

These two are my favorites. Can't beat the interior of the r50/53

A couple to share w/a fellow Pentaxian, from my pic thread...some heavy handed processing.
Gotta love those reflections it brings out.


A more conventional treatment, to the over processed ones. Halo'ing seems controlled to me... A keeper?

I'm the proud owner of a K10D.... I decided as I didn't go on an epic journey this year like the one to Tanzania last year [my 'excuse' for finally getting a D-SLR], I wouldn't get a 2nd body [K20D] for now.

Those reflections come out even stronger here, but the halo'ing & un-naturalness is extreme here:

Excellent. That would make a great ad.

Don't forget my request! (For a through-the-window interesting sky shot)

I was thinking about that today, I was trying to figure out where I could park, or if I do a driving one, I would be in the backseat photographing a friend driving, im not sure how to pull this off yet, but im waiting for a day with some good clouds

Whoa.... that's an excellent shot! Two exposures manually [selectively] combined, or did you use the in-camera multi-shot capability?

Thanks for remembering. I just think it would involve the ideal conditions for the HDRI: dark interior, but with highlights from the instrument panels + high contrast sky.

(Hmmm ... just thinking about it now, along with the challenge of large range in lighting is the challenge of focus. Wouldn't it be great to have the interior in sharp focus as well as the clouds at infinity without having to use an extreme wide angle lens?)
