Wet morning at the Botanic Garden:
And I was walking and a suspending worm/pupa just appeared in front of me:
Both taken with Pentax K-x 18-55mm kit lens. And a cross-processed shot from the beach the other day - I love love love this function.

I kinda agree, most photos posted here are not really for tech discussion, or at least lack of discussion. We should stick to the guidelines (please see the first post of this thread).
If you really want to post photos (other than for tech discussion), please post them under appropriate gallery forums. Thanks guys for your cooperation and understanding.
I do agree there are lack of discusson or no discussion at all for photos posted in this thread.
Could it be due to limited info beside indicating the camera and lens used for the photos?
I'm not sure if including the EXIF information is possible in CS like in PF as in this link.

Seen so many friends including myself here prefer showing off picture then discussion,
why not we start a thread like other does??
Example: Blue / Green / red / yellow or Bokeh,bokeh & more bokeh.
I think thats really interesting, interesting & more interesting.

I think that the thing about posting pics up for discussion is that the person who posts the pic needs to initiate the discussion! That is one major point which is sorely lacking. As it is, most of the pics in this thread don't really have much technical discussion value. Just indicating the gear and settings used doesn't invite technical discussion. Most people who browse the this thread are not going to spend time looking at each pic, and think about what they can say about it, technically, artistically, or otherwise. Even for a very nice or interesting pic, it's probably just going to get a few one-line praises, or a question of what lens it was taken with. But if the owner of the pic gives more background regarding the pic, his own opinions, or some other interesting pointers to think about, it's much more likely to draw the kind of response that can lead to a discussion.
I think nik34 is right, most people (including myself most of the time) are just interested in showing off the pics rather than discussing them. And sometimes we're more keen to share among Pentaxians than the whole of CS. But since CS policies doesn't allow that, I hope we can at least keep this thread alive (or clean this up and start a new one) so that we can continue to put up links to our gallery threads, like a little notice to fellow Pentaxians to go take a look. And hopefully a couple of "teaser" pics will be allowed too.
Let's not make fengwei's job difficult. He one guy have to take care of so many of us...

I think all we need is a thread where Pentaxians can post their pictures - any pictures. It's really something very casual and random. People can post/view, say wow, or whatever. Sometimes people do not really want to create a new thread for a pic in the photo gallery sub-forums. I do not really see any harm done with such a thread and do not understand why such a purpose would contravene forum rules and policy. I used to enjoy posting and sharing my pics on that "show pictures by a Pentax camera" thread. But since that was removed, I had stopped posting altogether, not even in the photo-galleries.
Maybe we should have one in the picture subforums
"Show your flower and macros by a Pentax camera"
"Show your Landscapes by a Pentax camera"
"Show your portraits shots by a Pentax camera"
Hello fellow pentaxians.
I have a difficulty in focusing the stigma of a flower.
Am using K-x with kit lens, set to macro, 40mm, f7.1, 1/125, AF-center, center weighted and when i tried to focus on the whole flower, the stigma part was blur.
How do i get the whole flower to be clear?
Appreciate any help rendered.

Hmm, I'm not an expert but IMO, I think try to move back a bit and see if u manage to get it in focus altogether. then compose it and later crop it the way u want. Coz maybe u are too near for the lens to focus properly to get the whole pic.
My 2 cents
