Very few of the images posted here have been tweaked to any great extent - horizon straightened (or not!) and a bit of sharpening seems to be it. Comments here are usually more to do with composition and technique - so can be a good technical learning resource as well as informing and inspiring.

Thanks everyone, Steve that is very refreshing to hear as it seems a lot of other forums, gallery sites and magazines put too much empthasis on enhancing every image with Photoshop etc. I've already picked up a few tips and look forward to learning more.

I started with a K10D bought second hand from SRS but after damaging it I made a brief switch to Canon but almost instantly realised my mistake. Thankfully due to this forum I was able to pick up a second hand K20D and a WR 18-55 kit lens and resume my love affair with the mighty Pentax.
I do not own any flashy lenses and I am always on a tight budget (due to having a wife, a mortgage and two young daughters) when it comes to photography equipment so for now I make do with the WR 18-55 kit lens, an old Sigma 70-300mm APO (gold band not red) that I picked up for £60 off ebay and a Pentax-F 28-80 zoom that cost about £35 also from ebay. I'm always trying to improve my photography but prefer not to do much if any post processing other than straightening a horizon and maybe a bit of cropping. Having said that I have been known to spend hours dabbling on photoshop just for the hell of it! Thanks for reading.
