Hi Everybody

Well - I finally got around to joining - one of those things that I have been meaning to do for a looooooong time!

Have read many of your threads and excellent advice over the years but have never been one for joining clubs and associations - but decided to take the plunge with you guys as you seem like a friendly and knowledgable group who share my passion for most things Pentax

I am a mad collector and user of both film and digital with landscape / seascape and architecture being my favourite subjects - but recently strayed in to wildlike macro and have to say am having fun with it

Looking forward to joining in

There's a long thread in the Local Groups forum here. Too far north for a day-trip for me sadly!
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

Hi Richard

Thanks for the link - looks as if I may have landed on my feet deciding to join this week - Harewood is only 5 miles from me - and a semi regular haunt - there are several fantastic Red Kites nesting in the grounds there!
