Capturing Nature: My Pentax IQ Zoom 105 WR Experience

Trees at Sunrisse

It's taken a while to shoot a roll of 36 in the Pentax IQ Zoom 105 WR. It required a trip to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal coupled with a hike in the Garden of the Gods to get the job done! For this test I used a roll of Fuji 200 speed film. The WR stands for Weather Resistant, which is the main reason I also bought this version in addition to the IQ Zoom 200. This version of the IQ Zoom has no mode wheel, and very few external controls, to avoid as many entry points for dust and moisture as possible!

(I also took along my new Pentax IQ Zoom 105 WR film camera, but I haven't had those negatives processed yet, so that's a story for another time.

Eagles Nest

Bald Eagles Nest

I'm happy to report that our mother eagle has laid eggs and is on the nest. Papa eagle is working diligently to keep the family fed while one of them is in the nest at all times. I had hoped to get a closeup of him fishing upstream, but it seems there has been a change in the families habits, and they are now fishing somewhere downstream

The Year of Authenticity

Blonde model posing in autumn color

When I first tried a bit of Photoshop's Generative Fill feature, I was amused at the results and thought, "It will be a long time before I need to worry about AI. How wrong I was, within a year social media was inundated with realistic wildlife and fantastical landscape images that attracted the eye much more quickly than my own images. I knew then that my stock photo business might be in trouble, after all, what blogger or agency would pay good money for an image when they could just conjure one up for free!
