This time, it was indeed intentional. ;-)
From the north-side angle of the barn shots, the sky was a very flat,
bland mass of strato-cumulus cloud cover, so I figured a little bit of
vignette would add a touch of drama and bring out the highlights in the
barn lumber. I just went ahead and added it to the other shots for
thematic continuity.

Thanks, Jack!
I know a lot of people just don't like vignetting as a
general rule.
I'm not crazy about it in most cases, but I do like using
it from time
to time -- but almost exclusively in b/w shots. I do
try to use it
sparingly -- as soft as possible. But, I can see
where some find it
distracting.
Glad you enjoyed the images in spite of it. :-)
Thanks for having a look.

Simply great exposure and rendering on all. Wonderful
barn!
The upper corner vignetting is a slightly distracting
however.

Hi all,
I thought I'd take the Pentaxes out after a
little
overnight snowfall and risk drawing the ire of
those who
have seen quite enough snow for the year
thank-you-very-much.
I fumbled the focusing on the K 50/1.4 on quite a
few of
the shots I took, unfortunately. It's going
to take
some practice, obviously. But, I do love the
lens and
am really, really looking forward to getting to
know it
better.
I just figured I ought to post something since
I've been
away from the group for a while. Before you
click,
though, be warned: *Images contain
vignetting.*
Any thoughts, criticisms, or lavish gifts will be
much
appreciated.

I also took the K1000 and my 135/2.5 out with some
Kodak
Plus-X 125 and filled a roll. I hope to get
them
developed soon and will scan the negatives
afterward.
I'll share those with the group if any of them
come out
worth a tinker's damn.
Thanks in advance for looking!
