<p>Howard, a very excellent start.<br>

This has been a most satisfying week for taking pictures of autumn colors. Some years are more vibrant than others, and 2009 is right up there.<br>

Three shots from Kubota Garden, Seattle's most artful park. The garden was designed and nourished by a Japanese immigrant who spent 60 years working it. The city of Seattle took it over in the 80s and, with a foundation, maintains an incredible 20-acre site. It's been fun intersecting with shooters of all sorts there-next time I bring the 4x5.</p>

<p>Some streets shot this week, all with Sigma 24-60 f/2.8 I finally have, and Pentax K10D. 24-60 I find a good range for street photography, covering about moderate wide to short telephoto. f/2.8 combined with ISO 1600 allows decent low light shooting. f/2.8 is a bit soft, but very usable, and lens is extremely sharp from about f/4.5. Contrast is good. Lens seems to produice very little aberrations of any sort. Here are three photos from the few hundred I've got so far.</p>

<p>Very nice work so far. <strong>Howard</strong> and <strong>Michae</strong>l, I like the third shot of each set. <strong>Camus</strong>, the graveyard flight is a very nice capture. <strong>Garry</strong>, the picture of the woman is outstanding, very expressive.<strong> Bob</strong>, what can I say other than I wish I was there! Between being very busy at school and the horrible weather we have been having, I have not done much this past week. This first shot was taken last Sunday and is within the city limits of Philadelphia. Shot with my Canon 50D and the 28-135 kit lens. I have not yet received my K20D. aaargh!</p><div>00Um8T-181301584.jpg.d399329f199b6bbf7b78f4f80fc7a347.jpg</div>

<p>Short break in the clouds at sunset lit up this church in northern Romania. It was overexposed by two stops. Though it is a known phenomenon, this is the first time it happened with the K200D and a Pentax-M lens, in this case the SMCP-M 80-200/4.5. The SMCP-M 50/1.4 and 28/2.8 remained accurate under the same conditions.</p>

I gave up on the special order, the default white or blue one will do it for me</p>
