Today I decided it was time to update the firmware on my K30. Now I can't find the link to do this. Can anyone help me out.

Phil your landscape photography will appeal to the general public at an exhibition as well as to experienced photographers. All the best for the success of your show.
Pity I wasn't nearer to the deep South West, I would loved to have visited.

Its good to experiment, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This image doesn't excite me very much but the process is interesting and could be well worth you sticking with it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

My first SLR was a Russian Zenit which had a good lens but I soon longed for a more sophisticated camera. At that time the pro photographers on the paper where I was a reporter were switching from Rollies to Pentax Spotmatics. So I had to have one.
In the early 1980s I had just joined a camera club in Durham and a member came along one night with his brand new Pentax MX. I was bowled over by this little gem of a camera. The Spotmatic was part exchanged for a new MX. This and the fact I had joined a camera club fired my enthusiasm for serious photography.
Later I had an ME Super and Z1 before moving into digital photgraphy in 2006 with an Ist DS. Then I had a pair of K10s and still have one of them although I now use a K5 and a sexy blue K30.
Why stick with Pentax? Because changing brands doesn't make anyone a better photographer. I have used a Nikon FM2 in film days but much preferred my ME Super which had similar specifications.
Pentax ergonmics are just superb and has had already been said Pentax quality is as good as more expensive offerings from Canon and Nikon.

Fabulous Shaun. I love Tim's shots as well. If tried this in the kitchen she'd divorce me.

There's a wonderful quality to all these images David. You were obviously blessed with great light. In particular I really like the black and white portrait, terrific shot. I must explore the possibilities of tone mappping sometime.

They are terrific Alan. You must have been up early this morning and it was clearly well worth it.

Terrific photos Kris. Those classic cameras can still amaze. The black and white photography gives Wells Cathedral an appropriate feeling of timelessness.
I share Andrew's enthusiasm for Wells Cathedral Chapter House although I rate the view up into the great lantern tower at Ely it's equal. But surely the most magical covered space in England is the view down the nave and choir to the great Rose Window in Durham Cathedral. Others will undoubtedly have their own favourites.
