I took my “new” Pentax K-5 coupled with the Pentax 50mm f/2 out to the woods the other day. I just love old, “fast” prime lenses! Anyway, my brother actually noticed this little mushroom and suggested that I photograph it. I’m sure glad he did!
Tech specs:
Shutter Speed: 1/40 sec.
Aperture: Unknown, I’m guessing it’s f/2 – 2.8
ISO speed: 500
The reason I had the ISO speed so high is that it was a really cloudy day, and the woods were incredibly dark. But no problem, with the K-5 low noise, high ISO capabilities, I didn’t have to worry a bit!
EDIT: Here’s a second vertical one which everyone in my family seems to think is better.
What do you think? How could I have done better?
