    Treated myself

    Treated myself to a new camera courtesy of some money the government had been minding for me.

    Picked up a new Pentax K5 body yesterday, now to learn its intricacies (374 page manual)

    Unfortunately due to the kids running our download quota over, I'm shaped for a few more days so posting pics is a bit problematic.

    Good for you. I am so happy with my newly aquired Nikon D300s. After all the years of going without while rasing kids, houses, divorces etc it's nice to be able to afford a toy occasionally - no more toys for me again as we are trying to buy a property that is to good to refuse

    Excellent.

    I'd love to try a few shots with my lenses on a new body, e.g., K5, and then the same shots on my *istD to see how much improved the new bodies are.

    Well I've got some internet speed back again





    Couple of quick pics, reduced to 1000 across long side with a max file size of 200K, hopefully they still look OK

    Heaps to still learn with this camera, and stuck at home all this week .

    Edit: looks like I've discarded the Exif data - will redo and post back again later

    Was thinking that was a really nice photo..I always find most photo's of rainbows are either upside down or they have that ugly tongue hanging out

    Bushie how are you finding the menu's etc

    So far I've just set the basic settings until I delve into things a bit deeper and get more of a feel for how it/I'm going. Really need a bit more time to get out and experiment with it. (next week )
