POTW 11-27-2011

[dshombert]

<p>It's after midnight here in the east, so I'll kick off the POTW with a couple shots from a recent trip to the Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill, KY. Both shot with the K-5 and the 18-135mm lens.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm in the process of thinning out my lenses. But before I do, I figured that I would take a family photo. (With the 50mm f1.7 A, the only member that got left out of the photo)</p><div></div>

<p>looks like Dave had the same theme as me, but his is a much better image!</p>

[shots worth sharing]

<p>I took my K-5 and the 1-300/4 Sigma (among others) when I visited my dad on Thanksgiving so I could shoot Baltimore from his balcony. That didn't work out so well but I did get these:</p>

<p>A budding geranium: [1/400s, f6.3, ISO 200] (Well, that's Baltimore in the background ;~)<br>

<p>This was one of those accidental encounters where I thought, "I wish I had my camera.. hey... it's in the truck!"</p>

<p>The wind was blowing and this was the best I could do under the circumstances. I handheld and tried to catch the web when the wind would settle down.<br>
