Hi Simon, welcome to the forum
Thanks, I'm using a K10D, just picked up a D-BG2 for £99 and I'm working out how to get members to comment on my photo's as I'd love to get some advic from more experienced pentax photographers (just posted Portreath Tower). I've got the standrad 18-55mm and a Tamron 70-300mm, but then bought a sigma macro lens 70mm and the 10-20mm wide angle. I love landscape, natural world and macro work, haven't got a clue about flash photography (having just bought a AF-360FGZ) trying to see if I can fire this wirlessly as the master without having to use the pop up flash.... can you recommend any books or sources of info on using a flashgun?

Also had a quick look at your first gallery photo, very nice, looking forward to more of yours appearing there, I'm a landscape fan too

Nice gallery pic bye the way.

Ps forgot to say, I've had a quick look at all of your galleries and clearly the bar is set very high, plenty of scope for me to improve, but isn't that the bug!
