I Will Perform For I...



Pentax FA 18-55 : f/5.6 : ISO - 100 : Shutter - 1/250 : Focal Length - 55mm : black & white conversion


This guy wasn't pulling much of a crowd at this particular time in Rundle Mall in Adelaide so it was a perfect opportunity to take a few snaps. I took a few shots of him with his eyes closed and I thought I'd drop a few coins for his troubles and then he started dancing which was even better. Thanks mate!

The DA 18-55 kit lens is not usually plugged into my K10D that often but in the mall and for street shots, the 18mm wide angle is pretty handy. Although this shot is at 55mm, it's a nice range for portraits and cropped 1x1 frames his shoulders with the balls nicely.

Australian Trip - Cleland National Park : Pt 1

Cleland National Park is located in Crafers in the Adelaide Hills near the Mt Lofty Summit and houses many native Australian animals. I went there with my mum, dad and brother on a family day trip the day before I went back to Japan. I decided to take the FA 28-105 lens because it gave me a little range if I'd need it, which I did.

Australian Trip - Grange Beach

After a hardy meal and a few beers at the Grange pub, I walked to beach and took a few photos with the FA 28-105. It was very windy and a little rainy and sand was blowing around so the harder elements were new for me to shoot in. I like the resulting harshness in the photos like dark clouds, sand blowing, angry waves and rain splatters on the lens. I converted a few images in this shoot to black and white as I thought the contrasts in the clouds and the waves would work well, hopefully they did.

Australian Trip - Glenelg & West Beach

As I said in an earlier post, I took way too much camera gear when I went home to South Australia. My main lens when I was there was the Pentax FA 28-105 3.2/4.5 and the Pentax DA 18-55 3.5/4.5, two great walk around lenses, even though they do overlap somewhat in certain ranges. These two lenses woked best for me during the daytime and dusk, but for sunsets, night shots and general low light situations I changed to the Pentax M 50mm 1.7.

Because I have about 600 photos, I will do a best of broken up into different time frames and places. Here is the first set taken on the first morning with a Stella / Coopers hangover which were taken at Henley Square on Henley Beach and at Glenelg Beach.
