Fun Filter Effects with The New Pentax K7

During our recent tour I met a fellow Pentaxian, Chris Davis at the Irvine Tour stop of the K7 Viral Tour.

We were stunned at her proficiency at "in-camera" digital filter tricks.  Essentially you can do all of your post processing in camera.  This is especially useful if you are out in the field without a computer and images are needed on the fly.  

It inspired me to attempt my own style with in-camera filter effects.  Here are my shots while in San Francisco this morning:

base parameter adjust: +bright, +contrast & retro filter


base parameter adjust: +brightness, +sharpness; monochrome filter; custom filter: burned edge, & retro

Color filter: Red; Base Parameter Adjust: +bright, ++saturation, +contrast, & +sharpness
base parameter adjust: +bright, ++saturation, +contrast; color filter: blue; retro: border
