Hi all,

My names Owen, I'm 17, and luckily been using pentax for a few years now.
I started off at a young age with a fujifilm fixed bridge camera taking photos of myself and friends on our bikes.

I then wanted to upgrade and therefore bought a pentax Kx, i used that for a good year, and built up a status as a young photographer in my local bmx community.

As i grew and my skills grew too, i was approached by several lads in the bmx scene to photograph theyre band play. since then ive done alot of band work, and even photographed at the Birmingham HMV institute at the age of 16, with a full pentax KR kit.

Since then, ive involved myself in motocross, landscape, motorsports and other genres of photography. Recently i started an apprenticeship with RICOH uk, as a technical design engineer, and several months down the line, i bought a k5 to finally upgrade my kit to its limits.

But as soon as i did, Ricoh bought pentax! so what does that look like now? im sure im gonna get alot of stick now for "supporting" my own brand!

So thats a slight overview of myself and how ive got to where i am,

Currently, i enjoy alot of live music work, and alot of motor sports. I really want to get into landscape alot more, and try out some wildlife photography; and thats my plan for the next year.


Cheers,

Owen

Hi Owen

Great to hear from someone like yourself who is a 'young' Pentaxian. My son Daniel is the same age and also has a Pentax. I hope you find the info on the lens I sent you useful, please contact me if price is an issue as I may be willing to do you a favour if your budget's a bit limited.

Regards
