<p>I am going to sneak in one more.<br /> <a href="http://s404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/point%20and%20shoot/?action=view&current=82910G923-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/point%20and%20shoot/82910G923-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /> This I took with my G9 a few months ago before it died. It missed the focus. I have been trying to salvage it but no luck. This is the best I could do. What I have here is a momma, her son and a baby inside the shopping cart with a gallon of milk and stroller.</p>

<p>Thank you Jordan! You mean gorgeous women just strew themselves throughout Frankfort in modeling poses? Was she modeling for you or just taking in the sun? It did give me a reason to smile this week. I've just had MAJOR oral surgery so no pics this week, for me.</p>

<p><strong>#1 Friday Night Party in Zen Lounge</strong><br>

.<br>

<a href=" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/5009699114_14dc9e10f4_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="640" /></a><br /> with Pentax K20D and Pentax FA 43mm f/1.9<br /> 1/6 sec, f/1.9, 43mm, iso 800, +0.3 Ev, K20D,<br /> hand-held, should have gone to 1600 iso<br /> .<br /> .<br /> This is a very very dark party place with lots of drinks and loud music. It is very much like in a movie where the high class party place's front security are tall and big but courteous. Once I am in, I knew that I brought the wrong camera to the occasion, I should have left it at home. My K20D has the toughest time in its life in AF in the dark and with the Flash AF assist, most of my friends lost their smile in the seconds that the AF assist tried to do its thing to get focus lock on. I don't think my past DA 40mm f/2.8 limited will do any better in the AF in the dark.</p>

<p><strong>#2 Lovely Amigos in 3D posting</strong><br /> .<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hin_man/sets/72157624814344259/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/4981315013_4548a59bd8_z.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="640" /></a><br /> with K20D and Tamron 200mm f/3.5 adaptall-2 (04B)</p>

<p>I love the posting of my wife and my 2 boys. They run usually ahead of me and I love my longer lens every time when we head out in the weekend as I can do paparazzi on my boys and my sweeite and beg them for slowing down for their slower daddy.</p>

<p><strong>#3 Portraits with Yashica Mat-124G</strong><br /> .<br /> <a href=" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5018863440_7bb3f615e1_z.jpg" alt="" width="476" height="640" /></a><br /> with <strong>Yashica Mat-124G</strong> on <strong>Fuji Acros 100</strong>,<br /> likely in between f/5.6 and f/8.0<br /> .<br /> .<br /> I was shooting with a friend of mine on his unused brand new Seagull and I bought him the IlFord Delta 100 and I shot with my Yashica on Fuji Acros 100 and we both have the best time in learning to use our TLR. It was the odd timing after lunch that we arranged a 15 minutes photo shoot and we improvised with car blind for reflector from the right side. The harsh lighting and shadows had given us the most challenge. I really don't quite know if a manual pc-sync flash will do as I have no confidence with flash. I did backup with my K20D and FA 77mm f/1.8 limited. It was sort of funny that my Yashica was the main camera in the shooting and my Pentax digital served as a backup.<br /> .<br /> .<br />The Seagull actually has a split focusing screen and my Yashica has a primitive but surprisingly useful meter. From the shootings, I actually love both films in the contrast and we shot both with on a tripod. Without tripods, we would have gone to 400.</p>
