<p>I have been shooting a lot more recently, so now I'm starting to struggle to eliminate junk again lol! Good problem to have. Anyway, I have chosen three, all shot with the K20D and Tamron lenses.</p>

<p>The first is from a lunch time walk where I was testing my newly acquired Tamron el-cheapo 70-300 zoom. It is just as bad as I thought it would be, but better than the Pentax FAJ 70-300 alternative, and also better than the Pentax DA 50-200 alternative. It's of an old man pushing his bicycle:<br>

<p>The second was taken yesterday on an exploration trip to an abandoned Buddhist monastery in the mountains. I have been out twice before looking for it, but didn't find it, this time I found it. (I may post a separate thread on that spot) The shot is from inside the 6th floor, looking through a window to the north. The city is to the left. Lens is my Tamron 17-50mm:<br>

<p>The third shot was from today. The weather has gone bad, but I still took my kids on a walk into the mountains today. The rain was very kind and held off. The terrain is so steep here. The log walkway basically becomes a log ladder up and down the earthquake ravaged landscape of Taiwan. This is a shot of my kids ahead of me descending into the jungle, again, the Tamron 17-50mm:<br>

<p>I see we are off to a fantastic start! Nice work - Garry's framed shot stands out the most to me so far.<br>

We had some great frost this morning so I went out for a little shooting. Tried another HDR that I think I like.<br>

K-x & DA15, HDR with HDR Pad<br>

And one from near the ski area yesterday. I got my DAL55-300 out for some reach.<br>

And one bonus pic this week. I saw this guy on the way home from skiing yesterday right next to the road. There's a fish hatchery nearby so it's a popular hangout for fish eating eagles. The light was fading (mostly gone) and I needed the reach of the DAL55-300. Those two factors made the IQ so-so at best IMO. Still it was exciting to get!<br>

<p>Some very good images this week so far. It looks like winter has settled in in the northern hemisphere. I was in Yellowstone NP earlier this month and it was certainly wintry there. K20D & DA* 50-135.<br>
