Our latest wedding shoot

Reid-Vienneau wedding from July, enjoy.

I got my toy BTW

1999 V6 5-speed coupe. A basic canvass for future indulgences. This year it stays stock, next year the fun starts.

Nova Scotia farm country.

Here we are in Antigonish area farm country. Pentax *istDL with FA 28-80mm f3.5-5.6 lens. Images edited in Picasa 3.

The year of automobile details

I guess I could have called it "Scoops and Pins". The last three images were shot with the DA 10-17mm fisheye zoom.

Can you identify all of the car models?

Time to get back to this

I will try to get more into the spirit of "blogging",  but don't expect daily posts,  I don't have that much to say.

Just playing

Just imagining a little toy.

Manual focus

Manual focus, originally uploaded by monza1976.

K10D with battery grip, Rikenon XR 28mm f2.8 (mounted), Pentax SMC-M 50mm f1.7, 100mm f4 macro, 200mm f4. Lowepro Orion Trekker II.

The K10D has a focus screen cut from a Minolta S700 part to give a split screen rangefinder. (This is the third camera that I have used this screen in and I must say it works better here than it did in the (otherwise) excellent *istDS)

This truly is a "hobby" kit. A seriously spec-ed camera with high quality lenses but at a very bargain basement price. If I am shooting pictures for "serious" reasons, such as the wedding we just shot, I use the AF lenses for their speed and accuracy. Also these lenses are so old they do not allow auto exposure either, they must be metered manually (shades of the K1000).
