Dan, It was with the pop up flash, I didn't have another flash with me at the time, hence the hot spot on his face
I didn't notice the blade of grass until i put it on the computer. Need to pay more attention with composition in future

They are quite harmless Trust me In fact a friend who was with me picked it up and had it running up and down his arm, but it wouldn't keep still and i couldn't get a shot off, what with his wife yelling at him and me trying not too laugh

This fellow was huge, about 3 inches across and doesn't look to pleased about me disturbing him.

So did i I tried to flick it off
I like it

I started my DSLR experience with the K100D and was very happy with it as a beginner, I was then offered a K10D 3 months later for a very good price. I took the offer and have never looked back, its a superb camera.

So I would go the K10D if i were you. It can be a bit daunting at first getting used to all the modes on offer, but you soon pick them up.

If your budget can manage it (i have seen them going for around 500quid now) i would try a get the K10D with the DA16-45 lens, an excellent all round lens. I sold mine when i upgraded to the DA* 16-50 but i found very little difference between the two. Good luck

Very relaxing thankyou, although the weather wasn't that co-operative either. But i did get a few nice shots
Thanks for asking.

Are you sure the bayonet mount has not been damaged in anyway :
I may have been dropped

Thanks Gary well Judged.
Congrats Belinda great entry.
I wasn't going to submit an entry this week but because there were so few entries, I couldn't make Gary's job too easy.

I didn't really have anything worthwhile to submit thats why my entry is rather ordinary Well thats my excuse and i am sticking too it

I really liked Amoringello's entry

Sitting around the camp fire on Easter night. It doesn't get better than this
