Might be a while before I dare post any photos. My interests are in macro and wildlife mostly - I have a wide-angle lens but no dedicated macro lens as yet.

I'm such a novice, really. Really.
I haven't used the camera that much. I loved being out when we had the snow though - but everything was so pretty and that's not something you can say about Newcastle very often! I did get some shots of dogs playing in the snow and one or two of those I really like because they capture the moment but I don't think they'd pass much scrutiny.

If I dare put some of my work up - and ask for help - you certainly can
I got my K-x in December and never had anything other than a Point & Shoot before .
Folk here really do try and help and encourage you

I'm glad I've found this site. Everybody I know except my brother and I are on the dark side (canon/nikon etc). I have been toying with the idea of a new body and was wondering whether to go that route but now I know I won't!
I do hanker for a K20D but it's so far above my abilities I just can't justify getting one...but watch this space!

I haven't got too much gear yet, and am nowhere near knowing what I'm doing but I'm having some fun finding out.
Oh well, nice meeting you...must do this again...
