Photographic Musings

My last thread was lost when the server went down so I'll recreate it. I'm an amateur photographer shooting mostly street, still life and the occasional landscape.
For those interested I shoot on the Pentax system with a K-7 and mainly shoot with the FA 50mm f/1.4 and use a K100D as my fireworks and Astro camera.

Here's a sample of my work with a mix of everything:






The rest can be found on my Flickr.

I love your photos. Can you upload your avatar to your Flickr as well? Saber's awesome.

The photo is in fact on Flickr shot by yours truly :3

Edit: Here's my fav photo out of the set.

Can I tell you something?



I love your photographs. Their really good, especially the way you focus em.

You say you mainly shoot with your 50mm f/1.4. Does this mean you only use fixed lenses?

The majority of my lens collection is made of primes: Pentax 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited, Pentax FA 50mm f/1.4, Tamron Adaptall-2 90mm f/2.5 & Sigma EX 10-20mm f/4-5.6
Funny enough my need for primes stemmed from the fact my camera wasn't very good in low light, turns out it was a good thing.

Currently learning to shoot with the 35mm as I needed something wider.

Wow you have some awesome skills. I'm very shaky with a camera. Those firework images are just spectacular.

Update with some new work this time of Unison Vita and Unlimited Blade Works Rin.
Click the spoilers to reveal.

Wow, incredible shots of Rin there. + rep~

How did you do the shot? I'm just starting with photography :)

Mainly with lots of experimenting with my strobes and eyeballing where they will roughly cast their light.

Also thread update with some newish stuff that I've been up to: This time involving Mazda RX8/7s going around a track really fast.





The rest of the set can be found here.

WOW. You make figures come to life! :)

I agree.. The Tohsaka one was awesome.

I love your photographs of figures, keep up the good work!

The Light you have in these photos work so well all around!
I love how you get the focus, so perfect.
Great work, Yahoooo!

Thanks a bunch for the comments everyone. Hopefully I'll have some more time to bring you more figure photos but for now a little something from yesterday when I went to scope out a local skatepark with a friend.

Update! Got me a new camera and rocking Nikon now. Also photographed a local band playing.
The D7000's high ISO performance is INSANE to say the least.
My smexy new camera:

Enjoy!

I like your use of black and white film in some of your photos, you got the lighting just right. You also make the figurines almost come alive. Very well done!

Yey we have the same Nikon now lol :D Yep, very satisfied to say the least. I'm trying to get some figures as well, including Saber Lily Distant Avalon~ Just got back to this and the lighting still amazes me even now.

Aye, the D7000 is a great camera wished Nikon integrated a lock for the command dial though it's annoying when you knock it out of manual when shooting events.

Here's some newish stuff. I went to a Kickboxing fight night was pretty rad but I'm starting to find the limitations of the Tamron 70-200.
It's a big set so I'll post a couple of samplers, you can find the rest here.
Enjoy!

The "Across the Universe" shot left me speechless. All your pieces were beautiful. You truly have talent as a photographer.
