Dam!

Well, what did you think it would be, with a title like that?



I'm not always taken with the local scenery as I've been here for 10 years and have pretty much been all around. However, once in a while everything comes together to make something that's "the same ol'" fresh and interesting.

For anyone interested in the tech. specs., this was shot using my favourite lens, the 43mm limited (close to a 50mm prime), no filters, no tripod and I brought the colours/contrast out using Aperture.

Camera: Pentax k-7 @ 1/320 second
Lens: 43mm f/1.9 @ f/5.6
ISO: 100
Adjustments:
-Boosted the contrast
-boosted the saturation and vibrancy
-tweaked the levels a bit
-resized for web posting

I love those "accidental" shots that come out like that.

I'd say pretty dam(n) neat !

absolutely spectacular!

Thanks Zoom, Grammy & BmB!

GORGEOUS shot, Andrew!!!!

Lovely (still loving the K7?)

Thanks, Dekka!

I'm still loving the k-7. There's a couple of small things that I miss with the k10d, but the metering, flash, performance and WB are so much improved, I ditched the k10 a few days after the k-7 arrived. Got the 10-17 fisheye from that trade-in

Beautiful!

lovely.

Thanks Laurelin & Elegy.

And sorry Chewbecca. In my haste to yammer about camera gear, I forgot to thank you for commenting. Thank you very much!

Wonderful pic!

Great shot as usual! I love looking at your threads, because all your shots seem to come out wonderful.

Thanks case & Ridgeback Guy!
