Look At The Pretty Colours

This one didn't come out as I envisioned. Nice colours but too many competing elements.​

Some more from me..

Tks Ben for giving me a chance to try out this lens..( FA 85 1.4 )..:devil:
some try shots taken with this..:sweat:

The Star Eighty Five One Point Four is up for grabs.;p

 

[Ben Loke]

Thanks Lawrence for the shot. Looks like I put up too much weight lately. Ben, we should stop drinking too much beer I guess :embrass:

You been jogging daily and should not gain much, except the food you had.:bsmilie:

Yeah, I've been eating like I was still 20 something :embrass: I think I should cut down on food and do more exercise. Marathon is coming in 2 months. Hopefully I can put myself in full training so I can shake off some extra fat ;p

Very nice shots and PP. :thumbsup:
I had the same lens, and I simply could not conceive any shots with it . Thats why I quickly switched to the macro lens.

These results from M85 look great! It's one of the hidden gem from Pentax I think

Thanks.
I'd certainly recommend it as the poor pentaxian's portrait lens.
Perhaps when I have a chance, I will compare it against the FA* and maybe the A*
I do suspect its quite up there against its other Pentax brethren portrait lenses for real world picture taking.

some reference.

Thanks bro. Come to think of it, I tend to see light and texture potential for PP first rather than compositional. The wideness of the lens help when I need to crop for composition later on.

Onwards to Pentaxian Candids.

It's a Bird. It's a Plane. Oh wait, It's Just Baracus With His 10-20. :bsmilie:

That's all from me. I have some from-the-hip street shots, but I'm saving those for a future stand alone thread.

Wow wow wow! All fantastic closeup shots.

But i must say, Baracus : your photos are amazing!

I second that! Great compositions and colour processing. I was at the same place early in the year but my shots are more like family snapshots..none of these really great expressions. :thumbsup:

But the others' photos are good too! Everyone seems to be having fun...

Hi Baracus,
I love the tone and saturation of this photography. :thumbsup:

Is it pp? Wonder if you can share the setting to do this shot?

Thanks​

Thank you Noel, Ben and airconvent. Just one of those days where the lighting is just right.

It's PP definitely.

I shot it on Av Mode with slight underexposure in JPEG. I mixed some presets in LR2 and tweaked it until I got this final result. I think I could control the highlights better if I had shot in RAW. :think:

 

[flowerpot]

im surprises many din explore the convenience of lightroom presets, 1 click and u can turn a ordinary pic into an art piece...:bsmilie:

Okay, here are some of my macros. Didn't shoot much, just a few:
