One priviledge is that I had a pretty model

FA31

FA77

Nice B/W series. Which cam did u pair the Ilford with? Btw the Ilford looks pretty contrasty .

Here's one for you : Spy vs Spy

Strangely the bokeh became fish-eye

I shot the same thing also with film and found the bokeh very harsh that i decided not to post it.

Haha.:sweat:

I used film on MZ-5N, self-scanned and adjusted curve only

Thanks Desmond, FA43 bokeh is a bit harsh in certain cases..

Good work Joseph. I like these... :thumbsup:
Just wondering if you develop the roll yourself or send it out to a lab.
Personally I like to develop with a high dilution ratio to extend the tonal range.

...

Nice series Desmond, certainly demonstrate that place well

 

[fengwei]

Yep. Film has its own charm. Wanna get back into film, but too lazy to send processing and scanning. :sweat:

Couldn't resist PP-ing the salvageable remainder of my pics.

The Butterfly Effect[/CENTER]

That's an excellent capture! Seldom see a butterfly w/ a broken wing like this one.

The whole b&w series look pretty nice actually, I can feel the difference from the digital (PPed) ones.

FA31

I guess we can't argue w/ that, can we

FW, hope your son recovers soon!

And I agree about the quality of the shots.. many are publication-worthy! Not only on this thread, but on the main photo threads too.

And hey, why not a local Pentax best of annual photography book? Lots of great photos by you all out there; I'm sure it can sell.. among ourselves at least Can also use the online photo book service to do this up!

If not hardcopy, can at least do a PDF version.

Will make a good showcase for Pentax, ourselves and as a keepsake!

Thanks Alvan Both kids are better now. Had a really busy week, mostly because of them. I still haven't looked through my photos from the outing yet

As to the photography book, I don't know who's gonna provide the fund and support for us. Pentax users are still a very small group comparing w/ other brands, we probably can't get much help from any company. Maybe we should make another sticky thread where we can put some good photos there ...

 

[darrrrrrrrrr]

possibly some sort of pentax photo gallery (sg version).. or monthly challenge where each user can submit 1 photo for tt month n we vote.. could have different themes for each month.

Thanks Denis!

I'm not that pro yet, sent to Ruby to develop and I only scanned them myself.
Maybe try out developing during holidays.

Despite what I had heard about the harse Bokeh .. form here and there, on the 43mm but I still find the bokeh excellent ....at f1.9 it is infact has round highlights of shining object behind ... it damn sharp.....

cool darrrrrr, i like this idea ... our "lao da" (seniors) can be the judges and who knows we can have our own Pentax magazine!! :bsmilie:
