Time to upgrade my Pentax K-01 mirrorless DSLR. With a custom made wood grip. WG!
The Pentax K-01 is a very good, if quirky camera. With horrible ergonomics due to Pentax's unfortunate decision to let it be designed by a 'famous' industrial designer. It feels and handles like holding a brick. I planned to do something about the clunky design for some time, and I finally did.
This year Scott Kelby held his Worldwide Photowalk. But due to Coronavirus, they changed it. Instead of joining a group in selected cities, and wandering around with that group for a couple hours taking photos, now it was a solo event. Anyone could join it (for a small charity donation) and do their own walk, anywhere, at their own pace. But all on the same day. It actually opens it up to a lot more people, though you do miss out on the group aspect of it.
I entered it, and wandered around several location to snap photos. Most of the pics just end up as random snapshots, but a few can always be considered a bit better. I narrowed it down to three contenders for this year. Plus a couple extras.
Post-walk awards update - All the winners were picked. Grand Prize? Nope. Runner Up (10)? Nope. Honorable Mention (15)? Nope. But, I got enough likes from participants to be a bit over 93% in the list of most liked of all the images entered (about 615 total entries). I call that a success!
