We had belt tests at the dojo last week. These are the 32 best of about 900 frames that I shot. The lighting in the dojo is quite challenging to work with. The roof tiles are tan, the mat is green, sometimes we have direct sunlight coming in. Despite my often wishing I had a somewhat longer fast zoom (28-75 ish f/2.8) or a second body and the 50-135, when I was processing my photos, I was frequently impressed by the capabilities of the K-5.

Two photos that really surprised me, because apart from the wonky color balance, and the windows being blown out, I think the lighting is marvelous: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/7446506520/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/7446507084/ I've also come to the strong conclusion that I wish that lightroom's "autotone" feature allowed me to select an area of the photo to optimize the exposure in, and to let whatever else (like the window behind the people I'm photographing) fall wherever it may. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
