Well considering I have been a member since last year... Funnily enough its a year since I joined!!!

I have been lurking in the back ground and only just started getting involved in the forums!

I have been involved in photography now for well over 20 years and got into it thru my father taking me airshows at a very early age. I started out using Practika's but when I was 20 I got an ME Super and have been a Pentax fan ever since. I then moved onto an MZ5 and the had a bit of hiatus for a good few years. My life kind of went into a bad period and then I sorted myself out and finally got a DSLR a few years back when my old man spotted an IST-DL body and got it for me! I have been using that ever since and will shortly be moving up to a K20D.

I tend to shoot more action based stuff and also enjoy messing and experimenting with the camera! I like dabbling in arty stuff to!

Here's me... The long haired snapper in the Peak District:

There I have finally introduced myself after spending a while in the shadows!

Cheers,
Ian

PS... I am also a big fan of metal music, hence the hair!

Yes we have!

Hello you

I will be fun shooting with another Pentax user instead of always running into the Canon and Nikon (is using those names in here classed as swearing?) brigade!

Good idea! We can teach people the error of their ways!

I also get plenty of lepper looks from Cannotafordon and Nikerson!! Bloody camera snobs!
