Excellent stuff, what I like is that as well as the strong visual impact, these tell of the chaos over the past few weeks.

These are a great success, well done. I agree with the raging fire comment.

Thanks for the generous comments. I am interested in pursuing more of this style but am a little concerned about the legalities of it in Germany.

I decided that my KP and DA70 is inconspicuous enough for me to have a go at street photography whilst doing the shopping at Ludwigsburg market this morning.

I channeled a TLR waist-level setup by using the screen on a tilt with live view and cropping to 1:1. The keeper rate was better than expected, about 20% or so.

All processed quickly in the camera, just a bit of contrast and selection of a filter for the B&W conversion.

C&C welcome as always

Excellent colours and overall a very nice set. I particularly like Nr 4.

It does feel this year that everything was green and immediately all the leaves fell.

Thanks

I have wondered what she makes of it but generally she‘s quite patient with the camera once she‘s finally decided it‘s time to chill out on the sofa. Before that there‘s no hope of trying to get a picture of her.

That‘s probably why a high proportion of my photos are of dog on sofa…

I haven‘t suffered with too much photo bombing, usually if we‘re out on a walk she‘s more interested in sniffing or rolling in something awful than whatever I‘m up to, for example here:

I was experimenting with the new to me DA 21mm lens for some close-up shots, I quite like the different perspectives compared to say a 50mm, particularly how the eyes come out. In principle I could probably have taken these with a standard zoom lens @21mm also but the 21mm on a KP is a bit less imposing to put right in the face of a slightly sensitive subject.

From having none of the pancake limiteds a few weeks ago, I've now ended up with the 40mm and 21mm, with the 70mm arriving on Saturday. I can't believe I've been a Pentax shooter for about 15 years and didn't get into these earlier. I'm sure the HD versions have some advantages for better flare control and rounded blades but the prices on used non-HD are now very attractive for what you get.

The portrait one for me also, the sea and sky complement each other best in that one for my taste.

And the last couple (I promise!), we were lucky that the heavens didn‘t open!

Aha, makes sense now, fascinating stuff.
