<p><strong><br />#1 Piers 15/17 Exploratorium</strong><br /> <br /> <br /> <a title="IMGP7744 by hin_man, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2810/10774910933_3ca41ba6f3_b.jpg" alt="IMGP7744" width="678" height="1024" /></a><br /><br />Pentax K-5 and FA 77mm f/1.8 limited<br /> .<br /> .<br /> Just visited the new exporatorium in San Francisco which has moved to Piers 15/17. Saw the couple taking picture in the very unique sign on Embarcadero. Road. Grab my 77mm as quick as I can and turn to wide open and the unique moment is what this lens has been waiting for. <br /> .<br /> .</p>

<p><br /><strong>#2 Wall With Glass and Water</strong><br /> <br /> <a title="IMGP7392 by hin_man, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2817/10774768114_edc367ac16_b.jpg" alt="IMGP7392" width="1024" height="678" /></a><br /> <br />Pentax K-5 and Tamron SP 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0<br /> <br /><br /><br /> I was drawn to the lighting and reflections of this very special wall arranged neatly with glasses filled with water. It might not be water as it sure looked crystal clear to me.<br /> </p>

<p><br /><br /><strong>#3 Exporatorium Entrance<br /><br /></strong><br>

<a title="IMGP7685 by hin_man, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2838/10774938863_164c805678_b.jpg" alt="IMGP7685" width="1024" height="678" /></a><br /><br /><br /> Pentax K-5 and Tamron SP 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0<br /><br /><br /><br />The entrance was a place that needs WR lens as there are cold water mist spraying around creating a foggy scene that is very usual in San Francisco. I may have used HDR on this picture.</p>

<p>Hin- assume use of B&W! How much did you stop down for that glass shot?<br>

Dave-if Cinderella is running around with only the other shoe she must look like a glamorous Quasimodo <br>

Patrick-nice take there.<br>

Yury-always looks like you're out with a good time with your camera.</p>

<p>As for myself, I don't get out much, but I did a little this morning. Lots of deer , a few birds. Looks like we might get some snow in a couple of days.</p>

The next image was of a bird I have been trying to get a 'decent' image for the last couple of years. It always seems I have the wrong lens with me when I see them. This time I had my macro (100mm DA).</p>

<p>Hin, #3 Exporatorium Entrance is quite dramatic!</p>

<p>A bunch of guys practice tightrope walking every Sunday at the downtown park. This one is with the Tamron 90mm SP Di lens</p>

<p>Same park; the bamboo grove is where couples etch their names in the hope of everlasting love. This one is with the MZ-S. Arista Premium 100 Kodak HC-110 Tamron 28-75/2.8.<br>

<p>I got my K-3 last week and have been acquainting myself with it. It really nice to shoot with and I feel like the ergonomics are a step up from the K-5. It seems a little noisier at high ISO than the K-5 which is maybe a little disappointing. I'm hoping I'll find good ways to work around it as I use it more. <br>

First evening with K-3<br>

Then yesterday my friend and I did a big mountain bike ride on a new (to us) trail a couple of hours away. The trail was fun but hard and our 38 Mile loop ended up taking about 6:45. I'm pretty pooped today!<br>

<p>Unlike Matt ahem ahem, I'm still K-3-less, but was greeted on this holiday by the yellow sticker on the door, so maybe tomorrow. . .in the meantime here are a couple of recent snaps from my commute with the Q. The small size is especially handy when I ride my mid-life crisis-inspired Vespa to work.<br>
