New Camera time
Pentax K-01. I have a backup body... it has better high ISO performance than my primary camera. Oops. Also it's fun to use!

A Day at the Races - 24 Hours of LeMons and HURFFEST
Hi! I set up my desktop computer and finally had a few minutes to post pictures from over a month ago!






I secretly hope the 200SX/Rubber Ducky is my old car.

I have finished moving and have a little more time to myself and, perhaps more importantly, I have better access to the great outdoors. Maybe I'll start taking more pictures again finally!

Purpose-driven

DA 50-200

DA 50-200

DA 50-200

DA 10-17 fisheye... at 17.
and my favorite of the batch:

DA 50-200.
I took the 43 with me but used it on only one picture that didn't work very well. Who needs normal?

Thoughts on 24mm
I did my walk today, as I had said. I took a kit consisting of 14, 24, 43, 50 macro, and 77 with me (all fitting within my crumpler 3-slot bag... fear the Pentax system).
Of those lenses, I only used three - 24, 50, and 77. I forced myself to use the 24 more than the others, I think, at least for a more widely varied range of situations.
I will be posting a gallery, hopefully tomorrow, with all of the shots from today that weren't horribly blown out for not paying attention to metering. Some of them turned out quite nicely, I think, but I'd like critique on the basic: considering how I prefer abusing wide-angle lenses, what do you think?
More coming as it develops (ha ha get it it is a photo blog)
[edit] MORE HAS DEVELOPED! The picasa gallery is here.
Some highlights from the 24:

Macro at the Wildlife Refuge




And finally:

I like that last one, but I have to admit, I cheated. I wanted to take a picture that was just the silhouette of the spider against the background, but I wasn't happy with the way it turned out. On a whim, I decided to drag the blacks control all the way to 100 before deleting it and I think I'm really happy with the result.
Here's the rest. The only two lenses I took were my 16-45 and my 50/4 macro, and only the first 3 were with the zoom.
