dshombert Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 <p>Kicking things off this week with some shots of hungry visitors to my feeder. We had an April Fool's snowfall of about 2 inches. Shot hand-held with the 200mm DA* on my K-7</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainvisions Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 <p>I'll play...supposed to be back where these photos were taken this weekend, but decided I had to do taxes one of these two weekends. It's Saturday night, no taxes have been started, things are looking bleak! Ironically, instead of doing taxes, I ventured into making K9 Power Bars from scratch. Talk about avoiding something!</p> <p><a title="Icicles and Sunset at Butler Lodge by Mountain Visions, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5259/5574586835_8db891f84d_z.jpg" alt="Icicles and Sunset at Butler Lodge" width="640" height="572" /></a><br> <em>Samsung EX1, ISO 80.

It's from my old ist D. My friends wife knocked the camera off the table, a huge (1.5cm x 1.5cm) chunk of plastic is missing by the shutter. The camera just keeps going. Anyway, for me it was an integral shot to the trip report and I was glad he sent me the images to process! As far as the camera, Pentax does make killer cameras. The D was a seriously well built camera that has been well used!</p> <p><a title="Map Work by Mountain Visions, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5144/5576617458_192df77bda_z.jpg" alt="Map Work" width="428" height="640" /></a><br> <em>Pentax ist D, ISO 200, Samyang 28mm f/2.8 @ 3.5. </em></p> <p>Full trip report, much better written (or shall we say actually proofread) than the Presidential trip report (yikes, when my wife comments how badly it was written it is a really bad sign) can be found <strong><a href="http://mountainvisions.blogspot.com/2011/03/underhill-under-snow-mountaineering-on.html">here... </a></strong></p> <p>Some video of the trip, edited with Sony Vegas (my first edit with that software) can also be found <strong><a href="http://mountainvisions.blogspot.com/2011/03/freedom-of-hills-introduction-to-winter.html">here</a>... </strong></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapyke Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 <p>Thankfully, winter seems to be retreating a bit here in central Sweden - enough so I could go for a walk at the local manor hose with my kids yesterday.</p> <p>And what self-respecting manor hose would be without horses?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB.Net Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 <p>I went to see a great singer and songwriter play on Friday. Donovan Frankenreiter played a nice intimate show at the Crested Butte Center for the arts. I love seeing shows there! This was an early (7:30pm) show so we brought our son who is now 8, and he enjoyed the whole experience very much.<br> K-x & Sears 135 f/2.8<br> <a title="IMGP7953.jpg by MattB.net, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5025/5582393842_5b35bba2f8_z.jpg" alt="IMGP7953.jpg" width="640" height="425" /></a><br> .<br> Some irresistible shadows I saw yesterday<br> K-x & da40<br> <a title="IMGP8162.jpg by MattB.net, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5190/5584318036_1da0b8f744_z.jpg" alt="IMGP8162.jpg" width="425" height="640" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinman Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 <p><strong>#3 My college friends</strong><br> <a href=" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5131/5567561810_434b10a38f_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="428" /></a><br> Pentax K20D, FA 77mm f/1.8 limited, AF280T</p> <p>My long time friend since college asked me to help with her wedding. I used mostly DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 for the daytime outdoor portraits and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 in the banquet event with flash. I only manage to use the 77mm for a couple of shots. I wish I have more shots with the 77mm and 43, the color and sharpness really stand out when compared with those from the Tamron zoom. But the Tamron zoom still provide the quickness in not missing important shots in a rush. In the night event I have my main K20D with Tamron zoom and AF540 flash while I have a backup K20D mounted with a prime in 15, 43, 77 and with AF280T bounce flash in auto mode.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
