Sunshine pics

I went for a walk, and it was very, very contrasty sunlight (winter sun and not a cloud in the sky), so I took the opportunity to test the contrast capability of the Pentax K-x and the 35mm Macro lens. They did really well.

I like these two pictures which came out of it.


... And the lens is damn sharp, as Mike Johnston said. (He called it a "paragon".) I admit that sharpness is pretty incidental to artistic expression, but, well, I simply get a kick out of it. If I get a bigger home some day, I'll get a really big printer, just to enjoy the quality of images modern cameras can produce. Lord knows, back in the day I'd have killed for this quality.
Sorry, TTL, I did it again, I blogged again about the progress of technology. I can't help it, I write about things which make me feel stuff, and tech progress gives me joy.

    What a coincidence, I was looking at photographing the skeleton of a warehouse too. There is one alongside 880 between Dixon Landing and Warren. New building, and at night it's a strongly lit, pure white skeleton. Trouble is, the frontage road is too close for a good angle, I'll have to try from the opposite side, but that's 14 traffic lanes over, and I fear a bit too far.

    I just can't resist structures like that. See also here.

    I LOVE it! Well said! Exactly!! And that "should" be one of the MANY reasons that you write about something; mainly, that it is what YOU enjoy! And...you know what the rest of us can do, if we don't also enjoy it! ;-)
