Dr Mhuni, was it this one ?




or this one ?

There does seem to be a bit of pp-ing as you say.

Where have all the people gone ? And you have done some structural work as well

I have no problems with that at all. To me it is all about the final image.

Without trying to overtake your thread, what do you think about this colour-pop?

Not something I do a lot, but the colour of the water and the rest of the boat were very drab.

I think this is a good first step.

Making the rules a bit clearer will help all the entrants, although I still like the idea of minimal rules.

I'm happy to leave the competition end time as midnight Sunday, but as there may be a lot of entries to judge, and we all want feedback, the judge should also be allocated some time.

I would say the judging should be completed by midnight on Monday, unless there are some unforeseen circumstances, which can happen !!

This will give the judge 24 hours to complete his / her task, although on the couple of occasions I had to judge, I started writing up details as soon as the first picture was posted.

I don't think this would cause too many problems as pictures may be entered from someone's 'back-catalogue', so you have 6 days to select one or shoot a new one ?

From the number of new users on this site, and the number of new users entering the weekly competition, I'm sure this Pentax User Forum has added to Pentax sales, so maybe they should pitch-in and offer weekly prizes of a K-7 for each winner ?

Anyone else think this is reasonable ???

No problems with Safari on my Mac.

And like thoughton, I too, "Love the /portfolio part of the site, very simple and no frills yet still slick"

Start with this link and you will see the first page

aminstar,

I joined the 'PentaxUser' forums over 3 years ago, but had 'lurked' for a lot longer

You seemed to have joined less than a year ago, I remember some of your early posts, with your new Pentax equipment, some good, some bad.

But, you have come on 'leaps and bounds', and now you are selling some fantastic Pentax lenses, that I am sure you cannot possibly have used to the maximum.

I say that, because, I am still using some lenses that are over 30 years old, on my DS and K10D, and still finding that they astound me.

I really love the old 50mm's, I have about 5 or 6 variations of them, but I really love the, K - f1.2.

I may be wrong, but I'm sure you will regret the sale

I would love these lenses, and would willingly sell the wife's kidneys for them, but, as she is a decrepit old bitch with a swollen liver, bad legs, weak heart, ingrowing toenails, suffers from baldness, rickets, hookworm, swine flu, St. Vitus Dance and halitosis, my chances are slim

I would be tempted to "clone - in" a giant shark fin

Just joking

I think your pic is fab

Nothing wrong with No.1, I like the shallow DoF

I might be tempted to clone out the discolouration on the bottom petal, but that is all.

Matt,

A switch on the 17-70mm ?

Am I missing something ?

I don't have 4000 neg's, but maybe about 400 - 500, of which, I imagine less than half would be worth retrieving. Nothing special, but as you say images of my youth. Anyway, I was thinking about one of these,

Not too worried about the quality, would just like to see the images.

Looks a bit like junk, but I would like to see what it outputs.
