My last street walk with the K-7

[jgredline]

<p>Hi folks..Last week I sold my K-7, but before that I took it for a final trek. I still have my K20D's and decided that when the K-5 hits the 800-900 range, I will likely pick one up to use with my primes. But for now, here is my tribute to the K-7...All where shot with the 24mm Sigma I got from Dave.....I would also like to encourage others to post their K-7 images as well....:) Click on images to view a larger size with more detail.</p>

<p>Ok Javier.. where's the last picture??? Are you holding out on us?</p>

[mountainvisions]

<p>The couples with the guy in t-shirt and sandals, and the woman in the bombardier hat, pants, long sleeves and (though I prefer the slang term of the boots, it is highly inappropriate on the forums) the high heeled boots. </p><p><br></p><p>That has to be classic LA and as good a juxtaposition as I've ever seen! <br></p>

[MattB.Net]

<p>Very nice! A few in there I really like: The Walk and The Eyes. And like Haig, I'd like the see the next in the series after your last pic! :D</p>

[steven_moseley1]

<p>" I still have my K20D's"</p>

<p>....does that mean you prefer the K20D to the K7?</p>

<p>cheers Steve.</p>

<p>It's no secret...YES!</p>

[Robin Smith]

<p>Javier.</p>

<p>Congrats - you are really hitting your stride!</p>

[Dave Luttmann]

<p>Nice work Javier!</p>

[steven_moseley1]

<p>Javier, are you still JPEG shooting? if yes, what in camera settings do you use? how much sharpening? do you use the CA or the distortion in camera corrections? and what if any post shooting correcting do you use?</p>

<p>cheers Steve.</p>

[jgredline]

<p>@Haig, That was the last shot. LOL...Having said that, you would be surprised at how many ladies do go all the way with the shirt lifting. </p>

<p>@Justin, Thank you. To be honest I did not notice the sandal's, but I did notice the way she was dressed. In fact, my thought was...Lady, this is L.A. not NY!</p>

<p>@Matt. Thank you kindly for the kind words. :) </p>

<p>@Steven, Like Justin said. I do love the K20D. My real only gripe with the K-7 was the high iso performance of which it appears the K-5 has took care of that and some.</p>

<p>@Robin. Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. There are times when I feel good and get decent shots, but most of the time I get nothing. But I keep shooting. ;-)</p>

<p>@Dave, Thank you kindly. :)</p>

<p>@Steven, Steven, Yes, I am still shooting Jpegs. I think I always will be. I do flirt with the occasional RAW file, but it ends up looking no better than a Jpeg. As of late, since I bought me lightroom 3.3, I have started to tweak in their as I find it very easy and fast. These where all done in there and realize I have over cooked a few them and over sharpened some. Funny thing is that I more comfortable in CS5 and feel I get better results, but lightroom is plain faster. As far as in camera settings go, if you download the images all that info is in the exif. I leave it on for future reference.<br>

Thanks javier</p>

[revolver]

<p>LOL Haig I was thinking the same thing</p>

<p>Justin, I thought that too when I caught the Sandals. I am pretty up on slang terms and since we are both from NY I would think I should know that one but I am at a loss.....PM me the Inappropriate terms for those boots...</p>

<p>Javier,</p>

<p>First shot...Guy in the back looks like Peter Lorre<br>

Love the Beatles Vibe I get from the Broadway shots with the people in the crosswalk<br>

Woman in Second shot has a Katherine Zeta Jones thing going on... A little</p>

<p>You know, the Only thing that has ever made me want to go to Kalifornia is your pictures....or should I say the nice Hips your street girls have in your pictures</p>

<p>Keep Snapping</p>
