Intriguing is a good description of #1. Its one of those pictures the eye can explore picking out detail rather than one that hits you in the eye immediately, although the unusual content does demand attention. An original approach to travel photography.
#2 has the feeling of bereavement and loss, not so much because its an image of a grave but because of the artistic treatment you've given it. I wonder if the feeling might have been heightened by leaving a hint of colour in the desaturation process and then (clichéd I know) adding a touch of sepia

As others have noted #1 is really intruiging with so many things to look at and try and figure out what is going on! I think I know, but I'm not confident that i'm not entirely wrong!
#2 - nice composition. Did you use one of the Analog Efex pre-sets?

#1 is what is says, a giant mirror.As others have noted #1 is really intruiging with so many things to look at and try and figure out what is going on! I think I know, but I'm not confident that i'm not entirely wrong!

#2 yes. with an adjustment for the out-of-focus bit so the text was clear as it is important for this image.
Thanks, everyone. K.

If I had the space and time, I'd have a dark room and be trying all sorts of "alternative processes". Wet collodian anyone? As I don't I have to mimic them, in this case with Nik Effex Analog plug-in for Lightroom 4.

Yup, it is the one I carted around the world. I couldn't have taken this shot without it! I'm standing behind and to the right of it. K.That's a good starter image. Is that a tripod I see infront of the person sitting?

The K-3 manual is so small it is almost unreadable...!

Is this case "carry-on" sized or bigger? Thanks, Kris.

I wasn't that sure whether to do this or not. Many of my better pictures have already been posted, and in recent years I've been shooting a lot of film on non-Pentax cameras like my FED2 or my Agfa Isolette... One of the reasons I tend to hang out in the US fora more these days is that I can post those photos alongside the Pentax ones in their film threads.
Anyway here I go. There is not theme, just pictures I have either not posted before or have re-edited more recently.
The first image isn't a great image in the 'hang it on my wall' sense, but I am very fond of it as it reminds me of my visit to Sydney last year, and also took some editing to put together as it required merging two versions of the photo at widely different exposure.

Thanks Barrie. Very suitable image you posted there... I've had bear related nicknames almost my whole life!
I'll post the first image on Monday.

As some of you may remember, I keep hoping Pentax will bring out a new shift lens as the SMC Pentax 'K' 28mm f/3.5 shift is not as wide as one would wish on APS-C (although it rocks on 35mm film). As I have recently got a K-3 I thought I'd try out the lens. See picture below. Not the most exciting of images, but the quality looks good and there was only minor fringing which Lightroom dealt with easily enough.
One thing which was great, however, were the dual levels in live view making setting up the image a breeze. On some of my film cameras the hotshoe isn't square to the film and so using a spirit level doesn't work as well as one would wish. Shame that carting my large format rig about on holiday isn't really an option.
Best wishes, Kris.

A bit late but loving number 1! Have a very similar image from years ago, taken on the steps of the casino in Monaco but with a non-Pentax (and rubbish) camera.
Did you by any chance take one from the other side and facing the opposite direction? The ball is blocking a lot of interesting subjects and it would have been interesting to see the inverse of that image.
Thanks, Kris.
