I like the lion's head. full of texture and nicely converted.

I think the circular window might be better if it is made to be circular. I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty at having a quick go. I'll take it down if you wish.

Best wishes, Kris.

The last is my favourite too. Hand-held, deep breath, gently squeeze the shutter job... I especially like the two heads peeping in from the top!

Personally I like taking photos of flowers in the wild (partly because I like photographing wild flowers ) but the downside is that even a gentle breeze can ruin your day! It is surprising how few absolutely still days one gets (at least when you aren't at work! ).

The more I see of the Opteka the more I am tempted but I do have my Jupiter-9 to play with. Must resist... must resist!

Good luck with the photo shoot, whatever you decide to do.

All these photos are taken using my LX with a variety of manual primes, some of which I remember, some I don't! The film was Kodak CN400BW set at 320ASA.

Avenue of shadows (SMC-K 24mm, I think...)

Grant's tomb (SMC-K 15mm)

Four star eagle (No idea...)

Sarcophagi (Possibly SMC-K 15mm, 1 second exposure with camera jammed on a coat on the parapet!)

Ceiling (SMC-K 24mm)

Best wishes, Kris.

After the K-m and the K-x I was expecting a K-2... IF Pentax ever decide to go "FF" it would have to be the L-x surely?

I realise this thought is counter-intuitive to the LBA phenomenon (which itself probably accounts for half the threads on this forum if you include the buying of other photographic gear to), but recently I acquired a camera with one prime lens and I feel liberated, I've taken more photos in the past couple of weeks than I did in the previous 4 or 5 months.

Less truly can be more.

As someone who regularly carts far far too much kit around my most successful day photographically in ages saw me with an MX with my K 135mm f/2.5 lens and a 24 exposure roll of BW film. Three of my shots that day got into the PPG and there are some more I could put up. Last weekend when I was back in New York I shot film exclusively for the whole weekend. I am now waiting for the films to come back!

Two second timer and the five frame autobracket is my favourite mess-up.

Funnily enough I haven't yet looked at the back of a film camera for the non-existent preview.

To be fair, at an airshow there is usually plenty of light!

I was surprised by how far I could stop down and still stay at 1/2000 for fast jets.

Yeah right.

Now that made me laugh...

Sad to follow the crowd but No 3 is the stand-out picture for me too.
