A few flash photography photos out of the cute little Pentax Q7! This digicam camera hybrid is a lot of fun!

This is one of my favorite buildings in Austin! Reminds me big time of Goosebumps and Nickelodeon.

I usually just photograph the rides at carnivals. Last time, I tried some "people photos". Chatted one dude up for a bit and got his photo with an RC speed boat he was playing with!

Was able to capture this carnival ride long exposure, hand held, with the Pentax Q7 and the 02 Standard Zoom lens!

Went out to a local track and photographed a Mazda race yesterday. It was a slick damp track, but the drivers kept it clean!

How many of you have gotten your hands on the Kodak Charmera? And if you did, how do you feel about it?

Great job Carlos! A Williams podium in an F1 race on pure pace! No lucky safety car or rain to explain it away!

Good morning BlueSky! Here's "Landfill" created in 2024 with the legendary Pentax 645D and 120mm f4 Macro lens

Starburst minis are some of my favorite candy which made this difficult to photograph 😅

My girlfriend got me a Labubu and as a photographer I had to deck him out 😁💪

Huge congrats to Alex Palou on his win at Laguna Secca this weekend! It was a challenge to get these panning shots cause he's so fast!
