<p>2nd with K1000 Vivitar S1 105mm f/2.5 on Velvia 50</p><div></div>

[guy_gervais]

[jdemoss99]

<p>this one was taken at the park on the playground equipment, needless to say we had a little wind</p><div></div>

[sigmar_dau]

<p>Two shots from the streets of Ottawa from this summer. This is the first.</p><div></div>

[sigmar_dau]

<p>This is my second.</p><div></div>

[snik75]

<p>This is not composed quite how I would like but I love the colors:</p><div></div>

[snik75]

<p>Next I will also try to inspire hunger with my mother's Havana Cake:</p><div></div>

[snik75]

<p>Those were on the k100ds with the 43mm. I upgraded to a K20d this week, and while I love how it handles and sounds and looks (through the VF and on the LCD) I am still fine tuning how my pictures come out. This worked okay, although a second, with better framing, was not good.</p><div></div>

[dshombert]

<p>Javier - Thanks for the kind words, very gratifying coming from a master of street shooting.<br>

Hin - It worked, I'm hungry now. Hope you get the lens by Tuesday.<br>

Other faves this week (so far) - Yuri's duck & dragonfly, Bob M.'s Ouzel Lake shots</p>

[john_behrends]

<p>In keeping with some of the other food photos...</p><div></div>

[trevor_peterson2]

<p>I took this picture this past week, and I really liked the composition. I played with the coloring in Lightroom, and ended up choosing "fluorescent" instead of AWB as AWB left the picture looking sanitized. Suggestions?</p>

<div></div>

[ukhov]

<p>Can restore sensor or what? Try give value of image with humans and dont foget about equipment to!</p>

[markus maurer]

<p>Cute girls, pets and food porn should be banned from the POW because of their unfair advantage :-)<br>

Have some more?</p>

[markus maurer]

<p>Adjust exposure, crop a bit and convert to b/w, maybe slightly toned?</p><div></div>

<p>Great stuff from everyone. I'm hungry now!<br>

Standouts to me this week:<br>

Dave - I like the generations one too. Good stuff.<br />Markus - the dog portrait is nice and fun. Those spots are perfect for B&W!<br />Javier - I really like Light. So many good things about it!<br />Dorus - all very nice but the second has such an etherial quality. Great PP!<br />Frank - I love that second shot. Beautiful light.<br />Sigmar - great staples!<br>

------------------<br>

I went on a hike today with my family, the K-x, and a coupe of primes into the Black Canyon of the Gunnison which is close and pretty impressive! It was difficult light a lot of the time but I managed a few I liked.<br>

Matt--the biggest tree around would make a fun thread!

<p>ME - agreed!</p>

[htarragon]

<p>Since I didn't take any pictures last week I'll post a few from my Lincoln Center outing a week or so ago:</p>

<p>First one:</p><div></div>

[htarragon]

<p>2 of 4 The lights in the upper background are not UFOs - they are apartment lights.</p><div></div>

[htarragon]

<p>3 of 4</p><div></div>

[htarragon]

<p>4 of 4</p><div></div>

[htarragon]

<p>Hmmm... those blue lights - could they be lens flare? I'll have to check next time I go.</p>

[MattB.Net]

<p>I think those <em>are </em>lens flare. Same number of light points as the lights.<br>

I really like that first one BTW with the people silhouetted in front of the fountain.</p>

[htarragon]

<p>Matt - so briefly the lights were UFOs :-)<br>

Yeah, I like the seeming vignetteing on that one.</p>
