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!

Out With the Old, In With The New

American Dipper in Winter

2025 is now behind us, and it was a productive year for my business right up to the very end. I finished out the year by publishing the Christmas Episode of my serial novel, The War On Wildife, and a photoshoot at Eleven Mile Canyon. I had hoped to photograph our bald eagle nesting pair, but was fortunate to capture some beautiful American dipper images instead. With the holiday distractions now behind me, I can take a bit of time to reflect on what was accomplished, and what lies ahead.
