Wow. The K-7 is supposed to be sealed up pretty tight so I'm guessing you must've been changing lenses outside. Sometimes we have no choice...
Nice shot though, once you finish training for the dust spotting olympic team.

I think I changed the lenses once.... switched from the kit lens to the wide anlgle and as I said serious dust storm at the time. It was a really dumb thing to do on my part... but i so wanted the cool shot fo the garage...I even turned the caera to avoid dust but I guess there was just no avoiding it.
Ittook me about an hour to clean all the spots off the shot and about the same to clean the sensor, (using a rocket blower, arctic butterfly and sensor solution with pec pad ) the lenses and the bag.

Wow Eric...did anything go right? ...lol!

I will let you know results of exam but not due for some time yet. Shirt removed by cropping and a little Photoshop to remove ghost but the Lecturer seemed to lack command of English and considered the instruction that we must not alter the images used in exam to also mean we should not test out what we intended to do on similar images.
So I had taken two sets one to practice with and one unaltered for exam over the 6 weeks we had to prep 3 days before the exam I was told they could not be used.
I did not take enough to replace all pre taken so I used old ones anyway. I do not need exam so I will just have to wait and see!

Desperately wishing this one was sharper...but I still like the shot...people will do anything in a snowstorm to keep dry!

I would not think you wanted to hang around looks cold and wet. One kicks ones self I know but you also know what went wrong however with this one I never did work out what went wrong
The view through the doorway has taken a lab color look and this was not what was wanted. HDR can be very good but it can also cause some problems and in hind site I would have been better allowing the outside to white out then take second picture of outside and use erase tool however I still consider that as cheating!
Maybe monochrome would be answer but it was not what I wanted. I have of late taken rather a lot of out of focus shots and I miss the split focus screen of old SLR. OK the packaged lens has an auto focus function but the older lenses don't and slightly miss adjusted eye piece can really mess things up. I loved the 45 deg split on Ricoh with the second focus aid around it and wonder why the function was dropped. Or is it only my Pentax that lacks this feature?

Shooting at a couple of ducks through the fence, just for the heck of it. Too much brush, the fence showed a little in one shot, but I loved the texture and patterns of feathers on the drake. (The hen figured out I was a people and waddled back down the slope to the pond, where it was safe)

Great thread idea, all I ever usually post are my rejects. I can start posting all my photos here now lol. I found this to be very interesting to see what and why people reject certain photos and as I said great idea.

I was so hoping that this would come out but, nope. Too bad, it would have been brilliant if it had. I call it 'wait for me'
