Still spending most nights up at the hospital, and at night I can mooch wifi from their hotel across the street. (seriously, how behind can a

hospital be, not having wireless.... SHEESH) So here I am, and since matt posted riverfest - I'm starting POW first. THPPPT.<div>00QJ14-59967684.thumb.jpg.a9a734cf62d1e7614d2dba65d180cc9f.jpg</div>

Dang, Maria! You beat me! LOL! I really like that red shot...way cool! The only thing I shot all week was my work

from today...the daughter of a friend (actually, the daughter is a friend too) is having a baby and I offered to take her

maternity shots for her. I am very pleased with the results and hope she is too. Right now, I can't pick my favorite so

much. I ended up liking a lot of them for different reasons. We shot the poses at her folk's house, so I was able to

get a lot of personal items in the shots; family photos, quits grandmother had made for the daughter when she was

born as well as another she made for this new baby...I think that made the shots pretty special. I used my K100D,

my SMC Pentax F 50mm 1.7 lens, and shot in manual mode...YIKES! In hindsight, I should have shot in AV mode

instead, but shooting in manual is more challenging for me...Anyways, are two...

I've straightened that top one using Picassa and it's showing up fine on my monitor, even in the upload on

Photobucket. But posted here, it's still crooked...go figure...

 

Javier, I really like that second shot...there's a lot of tension in that photo! And the color in the waves is

beautiful...where were YOU?

 

BTW, Maria, I hope your grandmother is feeling better!

Wow, Maria, you're virtually running on Taiwanese time here! Once again - I hate hospitals, commiserations!

<P>

The Vietnamese wedding is indeed striking!<br>

Javier - love the second shot!<br>

Alisa, great portaits.

<P>

Well, as some of you might know, I have my new K20D and new second hand FA 28mm f2.8.

<P>

So here are a few from yesterday. Bad thing is there are more than a few that I want to share, good news is, I am going to hold myself back!!

<P>

<a href=" Puddy-tat - 28mm title="Puddy-tat - 28mm by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3151/2706153798_489810992c.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Puddy-tat - 28mm" /></a><br>

Nothing like a cat for a Pentax thread!

<P>

<a href=" Water feature - 28mm title="Water feature - 28mm by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3088/2706152230_5807014673.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Water feature - 28mm" /></a><br>

A water feature

<P>

<a href=" Scooter heaven - 28mm title="Scooter heaven - 28mm by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3124/2705335245_ed0fc92aa0_b.jpg" width="681" height="1024" alt="Scooter heaven - 28mm" /></a><br>

A larger shot - sidewalk near my house.

<P>

Ok, a fourth then! One from my good old DA 50-200!

Some kind of water plant.

My second wedding photo shooting with the bride and groom went very well this saturday and the Pentax *istD

analog TTL with an Osram Studio 44 hammerhead flash gave nearly perfect results with the beautiful creamy white

dressing

of the bride on some shots where I did not use manual flash. The park I showed you before invited for some unusual

pictures, I can only show you

one sample with a lend K10D and the Pentax A-50mm macro, where the persons are not fully recognisable but I

really love this one :-)<div>00QJ4Q-59995584.jpg.274dae154f8fa7408b009e454f9e4f31.jpg</div>

I’m still processing holliday-pics from last week, and I didn’t do any serious shooting. But I have some in-betweens anyway, representing the past week.<br> I haven’t found a jagged-switch sofar , so I’ll upload these just as 700’s and hope the site will leave them alone. <br> <br>

Ok--rebooting seems to have cured the issue. Looks like we're off to a great start! Looks like you're taking all in stride, Maria--those are nice. "Maternity pictures" are a new genre as far as I'm concerned but those look very professional to me Alisa--I'll bet you could do wonders with a really good camera (wink.) You lost me with that last shot Markus (just had to shake your booty didn't you?) but the candles are beautiful.

 

I didn't get out & about this week but managed to find something to play with here at home.<div>00QJ82-60015984.thumb.jpg.1bd7cd685557d0cb1a5cbda83a35290c.jpg</div>

:) Another fine morning! Sheez - where do I start? <b>Maria</b>- love your lady in red. <b>Javier</b>- - #2 is great.

It's where I'd like to be. <b>Alisa</b> - Abosolutely beautiful images. I could feel the emotion in # 2. <b>Garry</b>-

Congrats on the new rig. The water feature is my fave - very pleasing to my eye. <b>Markus</b>-Those 1st 2 are

shots are awesome. Great eye! (and nice "butt" by the way) ;). <b>OShiva</b>- I'm a sucker for angles... I could

stare at your glass shot all morning (EST of course). <b>Dave</b>- Cool shadow shots. You really found some

stunning images "in between the lines"... <p> Here's my first foray into the nighttime insect world. This was

captured

at f/5.6 30 sec. ISO 100 with my 50-200. Oh yeah, 11 year cicada(sp?) that seems to emerge every year at this

time. <P> <img src = "http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7608838-md.jpg"> <P><b> Emergence</b>

Well, as is usually the case on Sunday mornings, I look at the selection and wonder whether I should post anything this

week. What great shots. Maria's red shot, O Shiva's macro, Javier's wave, what can I say, just great shooting. Like Dave, I

didn't get a chance to do much this week but here are three. BTW, although when I signed up for this forum I used my

formal name, everyone calls be Bob.<div>00QJ9f-60025584.jpg.f1660a22f49705883df852beb79ba403.jpg</div>

Such beautiful photographs, I hate to pick a favorite. My own contribution is a real corker. <p>

I have a part time job working for a company that sells political promotional items. Buttons, bumper stickers, T

shirts, that sort of thing. We handle the Democratic party including the Obama account. If you order an official

item from his website, we make it and ship it. I will be working at the convention in Denver at the end of August,

and was advised that I should have a passport to ease my security clearances. Instead of paying for an ugly

passport photo from someone else, I decided on an ugly self-portrait. <p>

After a few hours of researching the requirements and playing with my *istD this is what I wound up with. BTW, if

you need a picture for a passport, here is the information ... <A
