Nice shots, which 50mm lens are you using, Is it the Pentax SMC-M or SMC-A?
The A lens lets you adjust aperture from the body and is a favourite amongst members.

PPG entries.

Well you seem to have cracked two fundamentals of photography: (a) excellent lenses are not necessarily expensive and (b) excellent focusing. You also have a good eye for composition. My only suggestion would be to straighten up the first one a little bit so the window frame near the front of the image is dead vertical.
Looking forward to seeing more shots.
Best wishes, Kris.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Hat`s off for the first shot,I`m surprised you managed to talk him into standing there like he is,when it comes to photographing SWMBO`s kids,only her teenage daughter got into "Posing Mode"...maybe it`s the "Y" in us Males.
As for the last image,I`ve found the "Oh,Get On With It" vibe comes across...ha ha ha

...manual 50mm f1.7 which cost me all of a tenner. Probably the best tenner I've ever spent.
If you're like me it'll remain the best tenner you ever spent. I have two, and one of them is always in use for something. They're gorgeous little lenses! and so well made....manual 50mm f1.7 which cost me all of a tenner. Probably the best tenner I've ever spent.
Lovely pictures

Thanks for the comments. It's the Pentax SMC-M. The A versions went for a lot more, so I went cheap. However, I've found I really enjoy using it and I don't think I'll be leaving home without it.

Nice shots! I like the first one best - nice shadows on his face and more of a spontaneous feel.

The weather has been pretty gloomy since I bought the kit and I haven't yet got a tripod. But if anyone wishes to take a look I'd be interested to hear comments. Always keen to learn.
