Hi Maltman,

Firstly welcome to the Pentax Forum, you don't mention your budget or what lenses you have acquired, but a K50 or a KS2 available new from SRS for around the £350 mark, bodies only or I'd recommend a used K5iis, available on this forum fairly frequently for similar ££'s

Could I ask a favour, I'm planning on shooting the Reservoir at Pontsticilli this weekend, where's the water levels, are they up with the top of the plug hole ?

A suggestion for the lens, a damp paintbrush and plenty of time and with care, ideally before the mud dries. clean the paintbrush frequently under a running tap

I think I'm right in saying, on the K5iis, its selectable in the menu somewhere, guess it may be similar on the K3ii

Back Button focussing is also a useful technique to learn, basically it means keeping your thumb on the AF button, which then continuously focusses on the subject, and your finger on the shutter release, since I learned and remember to use this technique, I've got much better images of birds in flight and even fast moving aircraft.

Thanks David

I started off with a white tile and a blue background back lit, then went white tile, white bg, then this image, diffusing the LED light more, and a black tile.

Thanks Father Ted, your right, the tile wasn't long enough to capture the whole reflection, tbh, this isn't what I started out to capture, I couldn't get my first idea right in camera and this just came about by experimentation.

Thank you for all the comments so far, I agree with the stem that's out slightly, its the glasses themselves, they were cheapish supermarket ones and not exact identical copies, I did line up the bases with a try square and straight edge to get the best possible line.

Yes, but it'll be either the Monday ( most likely ) or the Tuesday, depending when I can blag an afternoon out of the office, no point in going in the mornings or weekends, cant get near anything !!

Have none of you ever offered your wife the use of a camera? Maybe she would enjoy it if she got the chance to try it.

Yes, My other half uses the K5 I've replaced with a K5iis and if I need a spare body, its there waiting, she gets decent use out of it, particularly on Hol in Cornwall etc
