Weekend Shoot

A Few More

...As promised. It was a fun shoot.

 

A Father and His Little Girls

They braved the cold weather for a photo shoot last week just before the snow came. More photos from this session will be coming soon...

 

Using a 36-Year-Old Lens

One of the benefits of my camera system is the ability to use over one million older lenses without any adapters. Pentax has made some pretty nice lenses over the years and with their backward-compatibility it's simple to use some of their nicest lenses from the 70s and other eras on their newest cameras.

Here's an example below from a 36-year-old lens on my camera recently. I don't think it did too bad. What do you think?

Old, Abandoned Buildings

Does anybody else enjoy finding and exploring old abandoned buildings? I try to avoid the haunted ones, but finding new places to investigate is always an exciting discovery, especially if it's a ghost town instead of just one or two buildings.

Anyway, here are some recent treasures from my travels.

New Lens Test

Today's post is about the Pentax DA 15mm f/4 Limited lens. It's small, built really well (all metal, like the other Limited lenses from Pentax), and resists sunlight flare like no other lens. A nice starburst is created when photographing bright lights. See for yourself below. What do you think?

 

Farmland

It seems as though I'm often out in the middle of nowhere finding pictures. And just as often it happens to be in Idaho, the only place I know where it's common to park an old school bus in your backyard and a new school bus in your driveway. Idaho is beautiful country. What do you think?

Silly Girls

These are my two silly girls on film- Lyla, 2, and Amelia, 4.
