Thanks Fernado
now the time has come for dynamic spring shots, I will test drive the Tamron
mirror lens with a roll of film soon
and compare it to the M200/4 + A2xS converter

Hi!


Free as a cow
-

http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4239347


Funny - the running cows... Well, at least it is funny for me. I wonder 
if flipping the picture left-right would make it slightly stronger.



The graveyard
-

http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4239355


Probably the best of the bunch. The rhythm is almost magical...


A Walk with the dogs


http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4239367


This one is probably the weakest. The poll in the middle and the general 
scene seem to be distracting from the title and lady with the dogs.


Just my pixels.

Boris

Echo. "Free as a cow" is a hilarious title, and the photo is quite amusing
too.

I've never enjoyed picture titles before, but "Free as a cow" gets my vote
for the best ever.

I have enjoyed your pictures too.

PESO:the very last snow pictures before spring or summer ;-)

2006-03-19 Thread Markus Maurer
Hi Bruce
The very last pictures of the cold before I start with a spring series ;-)
As others on the list too I'm waiting for summer
Today we had 12 degree in the afternoon and a lot of sunshine ;-)
I went out for a first try with the Tamron SP 500 mirror lens but was
somehow disappointed with it under low
light conditions and with flare, it really needs faster film than ISO
400
I would like to get some cormorant shots but I need Paul's equipment,
especially his flash + extender ;-)

Made with the Pentax Spotmatic F and Macro Takumar 50mm:
