With the K-1 II and the HD FA 31 LTD. I needed to remind myself what the Limited lenses are capable of. They elevate what are really snapshots to another level, with what Pentaxians call "pixie dust." Some editing done via Lightroom 6, nothing fancy. A bit of what Robin Wong calls "shutter...

A while ago I went to a local town called Doel near the city of Antwerp. This town is a tragedy as the village needed to disappear in order to expand the port of Antwerp. Many years have gone by and after a lot of protests the houses are still there but most people left. In this empty village...

I took out my (new to me) used Pentax Q10 with the 5-15mm f 2.8-4.5 and 15-45mm f 2.8 lenses, no goal specifically outside of trying to see what kind of images it can make and the user experience. Little wet duckies, light rain made things a bit more annoying so I stuck with the 15-45mm lens...

I co-chair the photography club at work, and today we did a photo walk around our campus looking for cool lines, textures, and angles. It was a fun afternoon, and I grabbed a handful of shots I quite like. Most architectural stuff I shoot I prefer in B&W and with a wide angle, so I brought along...

So, I managed to finagle myself a boondoggle at work. We have some business in Sacramento, so I'm going to fly into San Francisco on a early (relatively) flight. Before driving to Sacramento, my plans are to do a photo walk across the Golden Gate. Doing some innerweb spelunking, it looks...

In 1966, the City of Saline (pronounces Suh-leen), Michigan entered into a Sister City relationship with the city of Brecon, Wales. Beginning in 1996, as part of the celebration of thirty years as the Sister City of Brecon, Wales, the City of Saline created the Saline Celtic Festival...

A walk around Wells, England's smallest city with one of its most impressive cathedrals. NB city in England historically meant a town with a cathedral although this has been relaxed a bit in recent years as more towns have been awarded city status. Anyway I digress... the front of the cathedral...

A new film simulation dropped a little bit ago for the FIMO camera app in the App Store. It pay homage to a PAN-X camera loaded with Tri-X 400 film. I kinda like it, and played with it a bit today during my 3.5 mile walk through the woods at lunch today. Thought I would share: 1 2 3 4 5

Cheers, Jock

Another warm, nice sunny day -- time for another of my sunset walks. Take the subway to some 10 miles away from home, walk back and time it so that the golden hours are spent on the road. Today the sun sets at 8:55 pm so I think I'll be timing for a 5 pm start. The last walk was a wonderful...

When I'm out on my bike, or hiking, I'm always scanning the woods for interesting things. In the course of a ride, I stop numerous times for things that catch my eye. Here are some from Tuesday's ride. X-T1 + 18mm f2:

My D3 hasn't been out of the bag in way too long so it came out for a walk today. Traditionally i've never liked 50mm, find it a really boring/stifling FL so i made myself use it today just because it's small & unloved lol Remembered how much my D3 loves Red when i looked at the flower shot but...

I've been playing withe the CL and M lenses and having no joy with the cheap Fotasy adapter, don't buy one. So I started shooting images with the same lens in the adapted CL as well as the M240. Guess what, there's nothing wrong with the lens or either camera so my wasted walk and time shooting...

Grand Walk out pour Wet’suwet’en by David Wong, on Flickr

Went for a nice winter walk with the family last weekend. In a beautiful forest of trails with the snow falling.

We went up into the mountains yesterday - the weather forecast looked nice (and the weather ended up even nicer :) ) I didn't expect to have our walk ON the lake - just goes to show that I still have to wisen up a bit when it comes to Canadian winters :-D Using my E-M1 mk2 and the old 4/3...

Another pleasant autumn walk. A rainy morning and a bright afternoon. I was playing with a new lens (85 1.8) and was getting used to the narrow DoF of FF with a short tele.

A combination of closeups and longer range shots. Also, me remembering how shallow D0F can be with a macro.:p

The weather is changing and of course took advantage of our daily walk for this one.
