Jan 01: faithful friend forever

01 Jan 2022 3 1 266
In an attempt to recover from the trials of 2021, I'm going to attempt the "Single in..." challenge from Pentax Forums. In my case, I'll be attempting to take and post an image a day taken using my SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens which has the "Hollywood" nickname. The first image is from a gravestone in Datchworth churchyard, Hertfordshire.

Jan 02: Howard (2)

02 Jan 2022 1 2 147
This statue was commissioned to celebrate Welwyn Garden City's centenary. Sir Ebenezer Howard was founder of the Garden City movement, and the town was his second garden city. Many moons ago I attended the Howard School, long since demolished and turned into a housing estate. Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens.

Today was a "theme day" for the Pentax Forums "Single in..." challenge. The theme was "wide open" which for my lens is f/2. Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens.

Jan 10: Gandhi

It wouldn't be a SIC without a photo of the statue of Gandhi in Tavistock Sqaure. I didn't quite nail the focus on this one though. :( SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens.

Jan 11: churchyard path

I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure... Two different versions of the same frame. Datchworth churchyard, Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens at f/2.

Jan 12: moving train

12 Jan 2022 1 1 113
Today's theme for the "Single in January" challenge was "movement". By using ISO 100, f/22 and a polariser I managed to get the shutter speed down to 1/6th which captured the movement of a passing train. Welwyn railway tunnels, Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens.

Jan 13: cameras

A very quick (and pretty ugly) late night safety shot for the "Single in January" challenge. I've tried to correct the barrel distortion and the green fringing in Lightroom. Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens.
