I got these two shots the other day... the 'Danger' in the first is very evident, not a good day to be a bee!...
I do not think I have not posted any here from my Vivi 105 so I am also including some from my Macro Abstracto series...
I like the colors on these abstracts. But I will spare you my fly shots
I really do enjoy this lens...
What a killing machine... look at the spikes on those front legs/arms. If you get caught in there, there is no escape...
Macro Abstracto
OK... just one fly
And one Blues Guy... Muddy Waters Jr

For all the others, the Pentax K100d _________________ Nothing a shot a jack and some George Jones can't fix - Gus |

I would say most might have a bit of contrast / Levels boost. And a tad sharp after resize for web.
The Muddy Waters Jr shot, well they had fushia lights on him... so I had to desaturate it a bunch. How you can light someone in fushia is beyond me. The next two bands had had their own lighting guys traveling with them so they had real stage lighting on them.
MW Jr just showed up and played. _________________ Nothing a shot a jack and some George Jones can't fix - Gus |

And thanks to whoever moved the thread to this Digital Gallery... I had been sticking my lens shots in the other thread as I did not realize this would be the better place...
Now I dont have to feel so bad for over posting my Tair and Helios pics
You all have been very supportive of my early photo posts here, and it is much appreciated. Photos from old lenses can get lost in the other forums. I have already learned so much about these beautiful lenses here. I can't thank you enough. _________________ Nothing a shot a jack and some George Jones can't fix - Gus |
