The Pentax K1 Thread! - Post all your K1 picts and impressions

Had been reading up on street photography recently , and came across a photographer by the name of Josef Koudelka. Apparently he often utilises triangles in his composition when it comes to shooting multiple subjects. The article I came across mentioned that " What works well when it comes to multiple subjects is when they come in threes". The article then went on to mention examples which comes into mind, such as " the three little pigs, the three blind mice, and so on" . From my personal example would be a threesome lor. :bsmilie:

Well here is my dedication to Mr. Josef Koudelka.

Interesting concept. Think someone also shared before on the triangle thingy which can be also used for Portraits, hope i can find that article..
By the way, which lens u used?

So long not here, really alot nice photos. Thumbs up all...

Joe, for the landscape shot, think 'rules of thirds' or even the triangle that Franz mentioned.

IMO, there is a bit too much empty space of the left now.
2 ideas are :
You can either move to place the puddle into the lower middle of the frame forming a triangle with the sunset on the left and the HDB on the right.
Or
Move the puddle into one of the intersections of the thirds.

Placing the horizon in the center places emphasis on 'balance' (ie. calm, order), placing it off center gives the scene imbalance (ie. often tension )
So take that into consideration as well.

my few cents.

Noted and i do agree with u. Like i mentioned it is not the best angle cos i just happened to saw this while sourcing for scape. It abit late when i found this seem interesting angle. Also not much interesting foreground but only this patch of "swamp" haha.
Will go again one of wkend earlier to look for a good angle. Anw your 2 cents is worth a million. Thx jk thumbs up. Alot to learn from guru here

Hi Ranchy,

The picture ws taken with FA 35mm f/2. Perhaps due to its focal length on APSC camera, I hardly used this lens. However now with K1, I find that that i use it more often. I also like its vibrant colour, and certainly its low DOF when shooting at f/2 helps in some situations.

This is a lens which I highly recommend, and we always let the photos speak for themselves. Below is another photo from the same lens.

Thanks!

Nope. On the day of our trek, me and missus were the only ones walking so we had the whole place to ourselves as it was during winter season then
