A nice little collection that. I usually travel a bit lighter with a Pentax K100 D with a Sigma DG 28-300mm, two spare sets of batteries, and a wireless remote.

My claims to photographic fame so far are a friends wedding and two photos in Mini Magazine.

K100D nice choice!

looked a travor battery pack?
great pack i got one!

28-300 wow
gimme gime!

Well got at least one shoot lined up for summer!

A lovely girl, maria.

photo shoot in a local gardens...
probably in a nice pink dress (maria not me!)

may get to try out my daylight flash unit.....







just without the centre flash unit!

and this new (to me) bit of kit...

this pod is about $380 worth when new!

and then I just had to have this original classic pentax gear in as new condition!



and in use....



these old bits came all the way from canada!

Beware Folks. we have a daylight flasher on the forum.

How do we solve a problem like Maria?

watch out tony has been on the brain jucie!

your doing well m8!

your witty here and facebook!

you gonna need to sit down now

well how do they do it!

I got a big reflector coming from hong kong!
from 99p!

i got an upmarket one £5.89 delivered!

how do they do it when in uk its like £20 or more!
delivery must be most of that £5.89!

I got myself a Travor now, and yes it is a great bit of kit. I haven't even seen it down to half life yet.
Just one small problem I have though, since using the Travor my camera keeps forgetting the time and date. Have you had that problem?

No I have not.

it sounds like the battery terminals are not making full contact when switched off.....
try VERY GENTLY stretching the sprung battery terminals, my bro that issue this his K100D when he borrowed my travor!

see if that helps.....

Well after watching and photographing the powerboat racing held in the bay on my town.....
some of my images may be used by the RNLI on posters/website/etc!

im happy as its limelight for me!
so lets hope i can build on this and get pentaxpz up and running!

TONY knows what i mean he has seen one of the images....

Yes folks. John has some cracking shots. My favourite is the lifeboat pulling away fro the camera on full power. Just awsome!
John's website is worth a visit.

powerboat shots will be going up over weekend as need to crop them a little to get in close!

thanks tony!

couple of the RNLI shots...





just an idea of what I captured on the saturday.
I have KEPT 848 images!

Some nice stuff there mate. - I'm also a Pentax DSLR user, so maybe I'm a bit biased.
I used to have a lot more kit when I was doing photos' full time Nikon F3 and FM bodies, plus a bundle of prime lenses from 20mm through to 200mm.

Now my kit is a single body and a couple of zooms. I've just got a flash voltage restricter so that I can get my studio flash back into action though, so hopefully I'll have the opportunity toplay about with it again. I've never lit a car with studio lights before, so that might be a bit of fun.

I am a huge pentax fan love the gear and will only use pentax bodies!

I too have not lit up a car but will practice on my austin 1100 soon!

done unlit shoot with a yellow skyline b4 though, that was fun

New website coming.

It will be a test bed and if it work then it will be redesigned for the Elf/Hornet site too.
