You are welcome to download these or PM me and I'm sure we can find a way to get the full res images to you, if you'd like.
Quite a resource you've built on the website Kim.

I love the "Fast-action" two frames per second film winder and the assertion "Auto or M mistakes are virtually a thing of the past" I still found plenty of ways to cock things up

Having a tidy up of my office and came across my old Pentax ME Super sales brochure. Here it is scanned for your entertainment.

Welcome back

A very enjoyable series David.
I'm going to pick a personal favourite 'cos it's fun to, September, I love the colourful minimalism but, in truth I like them all.
A couple of other things that caught my eye,
Opaque windows in January
Socks over stilettos in June
and of course I find December very interesting. It is as if it is a mechanical heron, very effective.

You have to upload them one at a time Stuart. Each one comes up as a text line. If you don't want to say anything about the photographs do use enter to move the cursor down to leave a gap then load your next image.
You can always preview your post first to make sure it is as you wish. Once you get used to it it works ok, not great but ok.

Ha ha, Gareth I did not mean to give the credit for your lovely portraits to the lens!

stub/Stuart, I haven't been offended by you. I'm very happy to hear peoples genuine thoughts. However, I think you have made up an issue regarding Pentax and movement. I belong to a quite large, very active photography club, only two of us shoot Pentax. I see hundreds and hundreds probably thousands of other photographers work every year, the overwhelming majority have no movement, landscapes, portraits, still life, architecture, historic sites etc etc, all shoot other brands, it's the majority of most stills photographers work, nothing to do with brand at all. We do have a couple of photographers that are into motor sport and a couple that sometimes shoot horse trials and show jumping, they often producing great images but these form a tiny minority of images shown.
On a personal note, fairly recently I created a post of photographs on Pentax User from my visit to the local skate park, I was quite pleased with what I achieved for a first visit and want to go back, I greatly enjoyed the experience. If you didn't catch it originally look it it out, perhaps there will be one or two shots you like there, having recently made that post I didn't include any of those shots in this post.
BUT...........the best way to influence and inform is from the front and setting examples, get your sporty action 1 a month shots posted, some people might think "oh that's a good idea" and go out and give it a go. I know this is how it has often worked for me, I see an image or images that get me excited and I'll go out and try and create my own versions.
I choose what I want to photograph, when and how, it has absolutely nothing to do with the brand of camera I use.
Good luck and don't blame the make of camera you use for anything.

Oh yes! I've uploaded a shot I took at a rugby match on Boxing day, now when you do your sports search there is an entry 16/12 /18. Damn I spoil you

Lovely family portraits. Clearly the lens works good.

I agree with Gareth. Lovely to scroll through your year Derek. November in particular appeals to me.

You've laid your gauntlet down stub.
Sorry not to have kept you entertained. I await to see how I should have done it
