A very good cameo of life in the high street, well photographed.

I do quite a few pics like this but I always feel I'm going to topple over backwards and bang my head on the pavement. The safest way is to lie flat on your back and point the camera upwards. Unfortunately that method is likely to attract the wrong sort of attention and some well meaning person may leap on you and start applying the kiss of life.

Just a reflection in a restaurant window Barrie. The glasses were artwork on the window.

Same here Barrie.

BTW how come you've got 4374 posts on PUF Barrie. I have only got 2072 and I've been here longer than you. Must be because you waste time going on Another Pointless Thread. You won't catch me on there.

First class photography. The long exposures have calmed the stormy seas, except in the last image which shows the angry water to perfection.

Grey Street between Newcastle centre and the Quayside is a delight of neo classical architecture. On a cold December afternoon this week I did the walk with the K30+DA*16-50mm lens. The street, almost a rival for some of those in Bath, has a mix of the city's famous Theatre Royal, shops, offices and cafes.

It's all a marketing device but one that reflects this colourful modern world. It can't be a bad thing if it sells more Pentax cameras to the up and coming young generation.
I'm no youngster but I love my blue K30. At the end of the day the crucial thing is that whatever the colour these cameras are serious instruments capable of producing high quality images.

I feel much praise has been heaped on this excellent set already but it would be churlish not to add my own appreciation. They're all good but if I have a favourite its No.2 which is packed with Lakeland atmosphere.

These are excellent Steve. I too use the K5+DA*50-135mm lens combination a lot. I've done a limited amount of sport and rather more street photography with it and also fast moving steam trains. No probs.
But in your original post in this thread you imply that if this combination can handle fast moving kart track sport then ball games will be easy.
I would argue that ball games are generally more difficult to cover than track sport where you can easily predict the point of action. Ball games are more random and the focussing speed is much more critical, for both the camera and the photographer.

Love the set Alan but top of my favourites is No.3. Bet it was cold out there early morning.
