Hello from Shipley, West Yorks.

Hi, I joined PentaxForums ast month but have only just discovered this UK Forum (thanks to a member, Hardgravity, who I met in a cemetery).

I'm still very much finding my way with digital photograhy. I had a manual SLR years ago, but had forgotten everything I knew about SLR photography anyway!

I've now got a K-r which I've had for over a year. I did use it intermittently last year but have only recently begun to really get to grips with it. I joined 365 project a couple of months ago and this has motivated me to use my camera(s) regularly. I do a lot of cycling so often use a compact or my iphone for convenience - much easier to transport! However, I have been using the DSLR a lot too and am slowly getting to know it, using Av (I had been using manual quite a bit - very fiddly) and changing the default settings. I'm now at the stage of looking at getting another zoom lens: I've got the standard 18-55 mm but am looking for an 18-250 mm for day-to-day use. Who knows where that will lead me!

Oh Poor HG, that visit to the Whitby Goth Weekend must have had more effect on him than we thought

Hello and welcome Anna

I avoid cemeteries - came to close for comfort to becoming a permenant resident of one - I'm not avoiding HG

Thanks for all welcome messages . In response to DaveM - yes, I'm still around. Can't PM you as not been a member long enough! I saw your profile pic when browsing the forums the other day and thought it looked like Titus! Didn't know it was you! Hope all going ok over at BMDC?

Anna
