Photos taken by a Pentax camera for tech. discussion - Season 0

i'm trying out something different

instead of going sharp, i decided to go the other extreme: soft

some PP to the background colours... intention was to make the flower in the middle stand out in a more "dreamy" background... like fairies in a grotto

can you see Tinkerbell between the petals?

taken with an SMC K 85mm soft.

like a cat whisker... :think: something refreshing

Hi All, I am still very new to photography and I am here to share my photo taken yesterday at Lower Pierce Reservoir. It is also my first time using a tripod to take a photo and it really helps alot, although the photo is not as sharp as I like it to be.

not much of a landscape expert but the boulder at the bottom right seems like a distraction. overall, good attempt!

Dual flash.monopod. The eyes is somewhere in the centre.

marcus

not an easy subject to photograph & find. lucky catch.

found a strange one too at clementi woods this evening. size a mere 3-4mm. could not see the eyes until i cropped the image. looked like a nymph of the leafhopper family. first time trying out dual flash without the plate diffuser. using a flash holder arm and individual diffuser on flashes.

My kids acting in The Tortoise and Rabbit Race (Human version)
My only chance of doing something close to Sports Photography.. LOL
K10D + Sigma 17-70

On a lovely Sunday afternoon, brother and sister were having a nice stroll around the neighbourhood hand-in-hand, and having fun...

Brother: Hey Sis, let's have a race. Whoever reach Daddy first will win the race... I think I'll win!
Sister: .....

Brother: Alright, I'll let you lead first....
Sister: La La La.....

After realizing he had some distance to catch up....

Brother: Hey, Wait for me!

like this composition esp your boy's expression. the sigma 17-70 is very sharp.

Nice scenic shots. Good memorable time for me as I spend my honey moon there 20 yrs back. Was that the swan river that you captured. ? There was also a swan river cruise then and it winter time ie about sept when we last visited.

That for sharing.

marcus

Thanks Marcus. yes, that was the swan river. Hope I brought back some sweet memories of your honeymoon 20 yrs back then.

Haven't shoot bird for a while so went this morning, didn't expect to see and get a shot of the chestnut-bellied malkoha. The chestnut-bellied malkoha is the only surviving malkoha species in Singapore and has been listed as globally near threatened in the IUCN Red List.
