Hello! Just signed up to this site to hopefully gather a bit more knowledge of photography in my local area. I currently own a K10 and have had it from new (late 2007) but to be honest it has been sat around just doing nothing :oops: Anyway the other week I decided I NEED to use it so off I went and decided i'd buy a tripod and see what pictures I can take with a 50mm f/1.7 lens (I know it's more suited to portraits) on Salford Quays which is where I work. Here's a couple of shots that I took without any processing.... by , on Flickr by , on Flickr As I have been using the camera more and more I feel that it is landscapes, architecture and city scenes that seem to interest me more...Hopefully I will get the sigma 10-20 lens eventually. But for now my pentax 50mm and sigma 18-200 will have to do :) Does anybody know of any clubs in the Bolton area that are worth going to? Mainly for tips and the inspiration of other photographs.... I hope to become an active member on this forum and in time give advice to other 'beginners' once I have got more knowledge. Rob
