I made the comment because my K5 goes "clack" when pressing LV and "Ker-LACK clack" when you press the shutter. Without LV the mirror goes up and the shutter is very quiet so I assumed the racket was due to the mirror banging about. (Which surely can induce vibration?)

Strange how some define 'summer'
Nice detail on both of them

Surely, if you are looking at live view, the mirror is up so the sensor can report what it's seeing. When you want to take a picture, it has to drop back down to cover the sensor and then slap back up when the shutter releases? Sounds like (literally sometimes) a lot of banging about that one could do without?

That's exactly why I use a plastic lens cap - it's a 51mm push fit (goes over the outside of a standard 49mm filter ring). The metal push fits off Takumars are just as good but they could scratch the monitor surface. ......... I like the mirror-up suggestion

Never thought of disabling the drive memory - I too have been caught out with that one many times.

The recommended procedure is also to remove the eyecup and replace it with the viewfinder cover to prevent extra light fooling the meter. It's a right caper to do this. I carry a push-on plastic lens cap with me and simply plop it over the eyecup - job done!

I particularly like the deliberate use of the building's whiteness to increase the contrast of the subject(s)
Super set

You did post it a while ago - it's just as impressive second time round and I hope it remains so for its next outing.
Congratulations

You don't have to look very far to find any number of nature's marvels this time of year
These were all taken in my back garden with a K5 and aPentax SMC M 100mm macro lens .....
