Thread: Mirrorless Pentax K-01

You're right, John. Files from the original 12mp micro four-thirds sensors and even the GH2 tend to be a bit on the "brittle" side. The latest sensors from Sony (and whatever Panasonic may unveil next) might be different. That's why I tend to shoot jpgs only with my micro four-thirds equipment. But I think you've helped me make up my mind about the K-01. Thanks; I'll let you know.

Like the focus in the second and the B & W :)

Okay, I finally pulled the rigger last night. B&H with one-day delivery. It should be in my sweaty hands this evening.

Square, if you haven't noticed, is my new thing LOL. I love the challenge of it, and the results...

I've been using the square format a lot this year and really like it for some quite surprising things! Here's a square crop in colour for a change. Not sure wether it loses some context without the shoulders though.

the colour is lovely (as usual with your processing), but I think the shoulder adds to it. Although I am also a big fan of the square crop in general. One great thing about squares, is super cheap decent size frames. Check out album art frames 12 inches square can usually be found on sale for around $10.

Yea, you're right, the should needs to peak and then start descending ever so slightly to be read as a shoulder. I'd be willing to sacrifice some of the hair on the left, pushing the forehead right to the edge of the frame, but that's just me. Still, it's a lovely shot.
