World Pentax Day

Today was World Pentax Day. People around the world are shooting with their Pentax cameras.  Whether they be point and shoot cameras, old film cameras like my K1000, or DSLR’s like my K10d and K7’s.

 I spent many hours the past two days photographing and watching soccer. I took over 2500 photos in that time and am busy getting them sorted, edited, and posted online for people to purchase. Among all this my car decided to quit running. Some foolish fuel line issue. With that hassle added to the soccer photos, and no sleep, I did not know if I was going to get to go out and shoot, but about 5 pm I had to do something different.  I took my brand new K7 body and new this week 50-135mm F2.8 lens and walked down the street to see what caught my attention.

I don’t do candid work very often, but as you can see this is candid, although the kids at the water fountain did see me, they did not pay any attention.

When we first moved into our house, the first day the kids found the park and this fountain. I see little kids still think it is a blast on a late summer afternoon.

I loved the way the sun played with the water, the little rainbow is fun.

This little guy was taking a moment to let it all soak in.

This boy and his sister were having a blast feeding the baby ducks.

An old fisherman. He gave me a wary eye when he saw me walk by with the camera. I'm so glad the shutter on the Pentax K7 is quiet.
