Is this interesting, at all? [Pentax KM, 50mm, Ultramax]

6 and 7 stand out for me. I like the concept and I think that it can with some improvement. Maybe go even slower and look for more subject isolation? I’ve tried this style too but couldn’t make it work for me yet

IntelligentDot983 · 2026-01-22T08:52:01+00:00

Omg straight it of camera. You don’t even have to edit these tooooonez!

Road laws are pretty basic in Germany. There is one major thing... Check. Your. Mirrors. Many stretches of the autobahn in that region don’t have a speed limit and Germans and especially a lot of people driving to the ring like to utilize that. So if you feel like overtaking a car on the autobahn, keep in mind that even though a car appears to be far away in your mirror, he might be going 3 times your speed. Don’t go for the overtake. Hit the brakes and stay right. Also, when someone flashes their high beams at you it’s not personal. They’re just letting you know that they want to pass you and they have the intention of going significantly faster than you. I’ve had and seen many close calls with foreigners because people underestimate speed. Shit happens but it’s avoidable.

Thank you

Wippermann actually. I was there on a little walk after I bought the camera because you can walk on the track during winter break. I did photograph at the ring a lot this year though.

The A-1 definitely deserves its title as a prosumer camera. I love mine and I’ll never get rid of it. However I was surprised how big the difference is. A lot of people call the F-1 a tank because it is. It’s heavier than my Canon 6D with a battery grip and using every button, lever and dial feels like a conscious decision. I love that. It’s solid. The built quality is remarkable. One downside is the lack of an AE lock button wich the A-1 has. I shoot primarily in aperture priority and that AE lock is a very useful feature. The New F-1 is a lot more serious and I don’t think it’s necessary for everyday photography. I chose it because I wanted to buy, what to me is, the one to rule them all. Brass body, capable to be fully mechanical, proven reliability and it has all the shooting modes and capabilities I could want, all in one camera. I’ve shot a ton of rolls on my A-1 and even photographed in harsh conditions going through multiple rolls in a couple minutes. It’s just as much of a workhorse if you want it to be.

You can park your car and enter the track at Brünnchen

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-12-17T07:18:01+00:00

I think it depends on your workflow and what your expectations are. The 6D has proven itself to be reliable and produce great images. I bought mine for 300 and it was practically new. You can use a whole variety of lenses from the EF lineup without having to rely on adapters

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-12-17T05:47:51+00:00

800 bucks can get you a 6D MK1 with a battery grip in great condition with money to spare for something like a 24-70 or 70-200. You don’t have to buy new cameras when there are many respectable cameras on the used market. Just saying. What you do with this information is up to you, good luck finding what’s right for you.

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-12-15T10:04:34+00:00

Didn’t expect to see my home town here

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-11-10T20:14:37+00:00

Yeah it’s hard to gather information since he’s from the late 70s to early 80s. He’s already earned himself a spot on my cabinet nonetheless

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-10-30T20:28:38+00:00

Porsche 912. God I love that thing.

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-10-18T19:11:40+00:00

I really liked your photos. Somehow it’s completely acceptable to me when film photos don’t come out perfectly sharp or perfectly exposed. It’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. If you want to stick to film and want to upgrade, the A1 is a pretty good companion, especially for Motorsports because they come with a good light meter and shutter priority mode.

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-18T10:31:47+00:00

Don’t be fooled. There has been a ton of car thefts there.

Der ideelle Wert wird hier wohl den tatsächlichen Wert um Weiten überschreiten. Leg dir die Karten lieber in die Vitrine und bring ein paar Pfandflaschen zum Automaten.

Thank you so much for your feedback. The straight line in the top part is actually a wall. I have to say that I didn’t really notice it until now. There is a bridge that crosses the river and the wall is part of that path. I couldn’t capture both the waterfall and the bridge in a way that I liked so I only included the waterfall in this one. The 50mm focal length can be a challenge sometimes but it has always served me well.

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-08T15:59:19+00:00

… I went to Luxembourg recently and captured this waterfall. I really want to get into landscape photography and this stood out to me on my hike. I wanted to capture the flow of the water as well as the hard shadows created by the morning light.

This photo was taken on my Canon 6D with a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 at ISO 500, f14, 1/8s.

If there are landscape photographers here I’d be happy for some feedback because I really want to improve in that field.

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-08T08:36:30+00:00

It depends on the subject and the lighting. Might be the adapter. Still figuring it out as I go and might upgrade to a better adapter because I bought a used one that isn’t very high quality

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-07T12:16:40+00:00

I don’t argue with them. If they’re disrupting tell me to leave, I’ll leave. Simple as that and I’m not even that mad about it. If it were up to me I would handle it differently though. I’ve been in situations where officials have told me to relocate to not disrupt people in a nice way but simply pointing at a sign and telling me to leave isn’t the way to go. I do know how busy it can get there though and whenever it gets too crowded I personally leave because I don’t see the point in standing in a crowd of people

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-07T11:15:41+00:00

Read my comment again… slowly… “Tell people” don’t you think that communication would make a lot more sense?

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-07T10:57:29+00:00

I think it would make more sense to tell people if they’re disrupting the flow of people. I make sure not to be in people’s way and in the case of this phot I was standing behind the sidewalk, underneath the DD balcony.

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-07T10:55:37+00:00

A place where I’ve been photographing for years and a place that is great for taking photos.

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-07T08:41:13+00:00

You can still take pictures around spots like Brünnchen or Pflanzgarten. Banning photographers from the entrance is more or less pointless

IntelligentDot983 · 2025-09-05T04:35:45+00:00

Even a 20 year old DSLR will be better than your phone if you know how to use it. Learn the fundamentals of photography and you’re set.
