nothing interesting, you could have taken this with any point and shoot. Since I see no concious technique what so ever here, I cant realy critique anything, il just tell you a basic thing that would improve these photos.

Include foreground or environment to show the height and add interest.

there you go! This is more interesting to look at.

you liked looking at the other one because you love skiing and you know the guy so its interesting to you. Photographically though this is much stronger.

Bottom one is good, I would like to see him a bit further in the frame, closer to the top right corner so that space is used up more esthetically.

Well, your horizon isn't straight for starters, and its not exactly an exciting angle. You put the cityline just above half way, which is awkward, and its kind of dead on shot tele. Is there any place you could go to get a more original angle? Say the top of a building, or maybe shoot it looking down the city instead of across at it....

What picture style are you guys using? seems to come off very well, especially all the street photos, and what things do you generally do in post? contrast,levels etc, just to know if I'm missing something big

fuck flickr pro just expired! i did find an unedited photo though...

i know it looks like someone pissed all over my sensor, cause someone did. but anyways any sensor should be fine man, its the glass which is important.

Dude, the K10D is a sweet camera. Plenty of resolution, and the weather sealing is prime for wintertime. I liked it better than the 40D for most things (the menu's retarded, but that's something you can learn and adapt to)

Nicer APSC size sensor cameras aren't going to shoot anything all that much better..

It all matters on the lens for the most part. Pick up some Pentax SMC manual lenses and throw them on that thing. For landscapes and stuff, you'd be set. (or just get the Kmount adapter for M42 mount lenses, so you can use the extent of all that sweet vintage screwmount glass. best thing about the kmount's design is the ability for kmount to M42 and L39 screwmount adapters to give you the exact same flange focal distance).

One last try on getting some criticism or feedback on this photo, I know I need to improve allot and I am not sure how I liked the way this one turned out, therefor some criticism would be really nice before I start editing the rest of my photos from this trip! Karma will be given for criticism!

i actually like it. only thing is i think it would be better if the mountain were more toward the middle of the picture so there would be more sky showing (and im not the greatest photographer either but thats my opinion)
