We went out a couple of times and only got lightly rained on twice. Here's today's catch.

Pentax 645Z, Pentax DFA 645 55mm, Pentax #1&3 extension tubes, and Pentax AF160 ringflash. Had to use the 645 because the poor guy was on my Domke bag holding the K-1 lenses. ISO 100, F22 at 1/125. So close I had to turn flash to 1/16 power.
I think I missed the mark today. Took a couple of shots with theme of motion blur, and I think I got a couple of duds. You tell me.

@JCDoss The road shot works well. Think the other would benefit from more movement. Have you ever tried taking hundreds of shots on one frame, using the multiple exposure mode? I can still remember a Nikon ad where a pro did that with their F2 camera. It was a boat tied to a dock, bobbing up and down in the water.
Changing subjects here. In the where do we go next thread, the post counts of all threads are listed. This thread has the most posts of any photo thread. It is only beat by that thread and the DPR mod thread. Congratulations on starting such a great thread.

That's a great idea! I think I've done something similar before with waterfalls, but for this application it hadn't occured to me. Next time I'll have to remember this and give it a try.
Thanks for this too, and thanks for continuing to contribute to this thread with your comments and images. Cheers!
Here's today's catch.

OK, I researched this, it isn't about a rebel lion. I was thinking the movie "Born Free" or something similar :).

Vacuum tubes of my D. Sachs D2 stereo preamp. The blue was supplied by the on/off switch of the PS Audio Stellar 300 amp. Pentax K-1 with Kolari hot mirror filter, Nikon EL-Nikkor 80mm lens. Could have used a Pentax lens but wanted to also shoot this in full spectrum, IR and UV*. ISO 200, F8 at 3 minutes. Shot a little dark so as to not blow out more highlights than needed. Lightened up about 2/3 stop in post processing.
Thanks for looking,

I'm not sure why, but it looks like I need to make an adjustment to the shim and focus screen in one of my cameras. I'm not sure how long it's been miscalibrated, but I noticed it yesterday and it backfocuses noticeably. I must have chalked it up to bad eyesight or else the problem was masked by narrow apertures until now. Anyway, here's today's catch.

I'm not sure what's going on with my camera. I tested it before making the shim adjustments in the viewfinder that I mentioned yesterday, and it tested fine with three different lenses. Spot on, actually. I took the camera out today and it was fine. So, I guess I just had a bad spell of operator error the other day, since I lack any other explanation.
Today it rained most of the time we were outside, so the cameras were kept stowed except for a few short exceptions. I was sheltering under a tree in the second shot. Here's today's catch.

Moth and Trap. Surprised such a large critter couldn't pull free.
Pentax Q7 and #06 telezoom with Movo extension tube. The company screwed up the tube design and they have too much extension to work with any Q lens except the #06 at 45mm. The two longer tubes can't focus with any Q lens. ISO 100, F4.5 at 1/250 uses built in flash. This was in a window sill and very backlit. Leaf shutters are so nice with flash!
Thanks for looking,

I had the same thought. This is a great photo, thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Hope you get the camera focusing straightened out. Not always easy to accomplish.
Thanks,

Pentax K-1, Pentax DFA100 macro, and Pentax AF160 ringflash. ISO100, F16 at 1/125. Flash was on 1/4 power. I added a ground spike and clipboard mechanism to a monopod. That holds a background sheet so flash doesn't turn background black.
Thanks for looking,
