shaloot Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 So before I comment on the photos, how do I post so that I can start each line with someone's name instead of doing the "@" thingy?? Like what Haig did... it's easier to read... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You have to post in HTML instead of Plain Test. When you want a paragraph break type <br>. Easy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

personalphotos Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Subhankar - Great series. I like the first the best and the one that looks like a market or bazaar. Haig - Wow. Love the B&W. The inside lamo vs the outside. The person framed like a photo. Excellent. The flower shot for very different reasons is also and excellent shot.

shaloot Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks for the tip Haig! <br> Garry: I like your first shot the best, its got a interesting composition! I would like to see you do that again with the kids in the shot but at a slow shutter speed for some blur... <br> Michael: Your 'Wild Rose' shot has cool dof... the inside of the flower and leaves are in focus but the petals are not? Did you set it like that? Also, what is a suncatcher?? Maybe I should get one for certain parts of my house! <br> Markus: Your first shot is the best for me, gives a really strong sense of fall, even though its in b&w. Nice! <br> Bob: The 'red sky' shot is good, though I would have liked it if you zoomed in on one of the leaves and have just a few of them against the blue sky... just my 2 cents! <br> Duane: Where's the second shot?? <br> Ian: I really like your 3rd shot because of the reflection in the windows of the building! Have you tried converting your 2nd one to b&w? <br> Peter: Your 1st shot is the winner and I cant look at your 4th... cant stand spiders! Did you try some fill flash to pop out the flowers some? <br> Robert: I really like the dof in your 3rd shot and the light coming through. Very nice composition. <br> Subhankar: The light in your first shot makes the photograph and I love street scenes from India, they are always so vibrant! I also like the use of the leading lines in your 4th shot. <br> Haig: The shot of the wall is neat! Really makes me want to see more of that wall to figure out what it is and what it looks like! My shots are from my honeymoon in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. I thought I was going to take a bunch of shots when I get there but I ended up hardly taking any and when I did I felt I was taking just snapshots... not my most creative trip and I'm kicking myself now... I think I was in total stress unwinding mode... The 1st shot is from our breakfast table, and my current computer wallpaper lol! <br> <a href=" title="Breakfast with a view by Shaloot, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/2928598968_e1875aafa5.jpg" width="500" height="320" alt="Breakfast with a view" /></a> <br> The 2nd is a shot of the flames they light up for dinner time... I love fire! <br> <a href=" title="in the line of fire! by Shaloot, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2953580846_f7325b1ea1.jpg" width="334" height="500" alt="in the line of fire!" /></a> <br> The 3rd is along the main pier in town where we would see whole families out for a stroll... really neat that all the generations are just hanging out... I really wanted to try and crop into the old lady but I also liked that you can see about 4 generations. <br> <a href=" title="Generations by Shaloot, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3058/2953624864_4bbb9ede01_b.jpg" width="1024" height="569" alt="Generations" /></a> <br> OK last one, this is some the landscaping around the resort, this shot was taken in a light rain, hooray for the weathersealing! <a href=" title="Lagoon by Shaloot, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3024/2952786013_1c14c621b6.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="Lagoon" /></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david richhart Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 This thread is another great testament of how good the Pentax equipment and photographers are. As always, I'm really liking the black and whites. If I had to choose, I think Robert's photograph of the many bowls sprawled across the floor would have to be my favorite so far. <p> My pow was taken at Hell's Kitchen flea market in NYC... Not exactly an original idea, but then, I'm not sure I ever had one.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Catch up: Love the bugs, Peter (well, not really--but they're very nice photos ;~) Subhankar: wonderful taj shots! I like #4 especially. The cliff-edge flowers are great, Haig (and I spent about three minutes just scrolling the wall shot up & down ;~!) Those are really nice clean photos, Somanna--especially the fire shot (but I'm going to disagree with your suggestion that Ian convert that shot to B&W.) Michael: "Power Wash" really works--well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane_mills Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Dave R. - interesting colors and composition. Michael S. - great combination of light and shadow with a little action. Somanna - love the composition and flames in your second shot. Haig - the colors and detail in your first shot (Sydney) are mind blowing. Kudos. Subhankar - the gritty real candid that is your second shot is superb. Nicely captured. Peter - tough call to pick a favorite out of your shots, they are all outstanding captures. After a lot of thought I'd have to say that I like the last best - my eye is drawn to the detail of the reflection in the water. Robert - like the color and love the DOF in the "Empty Bowls" shot. Bob - they're all amazing fall shots. I particularly like your choice of shutter speed for moving water photos. Ian - terrific atmosphere in your second shot. The moody skies and sunbeams are very nicely captured. Great thread so far folks - lets see more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdaltx Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Every week this thread just get's better and better. <p> This most interesting thing I did this week was to go to the Texas State Fair which is here in Dallas at Fair Park and is the largest one in the country. It attracts about three million visitors over it's four week run. The Fair's mascot is the talking waiving animatronic Big Tex. Big Tex made his debut at the 1952 fair; he is 52 feet tall, weighs 6,000 pounds; wears a 75 gallon hat measuring 5 feet high. His chest is 30 feet, the belt is 23 feet with a 50 pound buckle. Tex's boots are size 70 and measure 7 foot 7 inches high. <p><p> <strong> Big Tex at Texas State Fair </strong> <img src="http://rogerrobbins.com/pnet/TX-state-fair-1.jpg"> <p> <img src="http://rogerrobbins.com/pnet/TX-state-fair-4.jpg"> <p><p><p><p> The 212 foot tall Texas Star Ferris Wheel was at one point the worlds largest and still is the biggest one in North America. For scale each of the cars holds about eight people. <p> <p><p> <strong> Texas Star Ferris Wheel </strong> <img align=left src="http://rogerrobbins.com/pnet/TX-state-fair-2.jpg"> <p><p><p> <img src="http://rogerrobbins.com/pnet/TX-state-fair-3.jpg"> <p> Fisheye of the Federal/Tower Building in Fair Park which was built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition.

jgredline Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 @Garry, I love the family portrait...beautiful family.... @Michael E, I am partial to the Rose. Perhaps a bump in saturation and a 20% increase in sharpness and you will have a winner... @Markus, I love the chess shot...Not only because I love the game, but because it is truly inspiring...''bravo'' @Ben P, keep having fun with the black and white, you are doing great!!!!! @Bob M, I LOVE the red sky...''bravo''...sometimes the simplest shots are the best ones...... @Duane, Great use of the bigma. Love the helicopter shot... @Ian, Great rainbow....Great image all around...''bravo'' @robert c, I really like the composition in the third image...Well done!!!! @Peter, Love the grasshopper..It was tough between that fellow and the spider...Well done, Bravo...... @Subhankar, tough to choose. They are all unique in their own way. I will have to go with the first...Well done.. @Haig, ''BREATHTAKING STUFF''...I really thought your first image was the home run, till I cam accross your second image...The use of black and white coupled with the framing, kicks ass......My fav so far.... @Somanna, I really like the generational portrait...It is unique and quite good.. @Michael S, I like the way the face is hidden. Great use of color as well...Nice capture.. @Dave Richhart, I love the pastels...Good comp as well..Well done.. @Roger, I like the ferris wheel shot...Looks good... As always, great work folks.......

snik75 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Wow, lots of good stuff. I scanned quickly, but I was impressed by Haig's flowers on the cliff. Love the out of focus sea below.

snik75 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 And a film scan, from my Ricoh XR-7 (Pentax M lens). I just like the light, and the cluster of objects. Not sure why.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Amazing photos from everyone. I got a used DA 21mm limited. While it is a used copy, it is my 1st limited. The pancake size is impressive, and I get hooked thinking of the other limited lens. I just wish that this limited is f/2.8. I had few test shots in the weekend. <br><br> <p align="center"> <img src="http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g192/hinioman/photo_net_pow/IMGP3947.jpg" /> <br><br> <img src="http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g192/hinioman/photo_net_pow/IMGP3944.jpg" /> <br><br> <img src="http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g192/hinioman/photo_net_pow/IMGP3954.jpg" /> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
