To get the best JPEG file from the camera it needs setting up. The default settings are not quite what I like, so I set Natural and +1 sharpness and that's it done. Premium quality is also necessary. Even then many images will need some adjustment, but it's usually minor.

To get the best from a RAW file there is also a bit of work to be done before it's saved as something else, be it a JPEG or TIFF.
All images need sharpening to a degree, some more than others. But I'm not convinced that "in camera" is the best place to do it. I always sharpen in P.Shop, and sharpening is always off in my camera.

Stephanie,
I take pictures of trees a lot. They are wonderful things to photograph. A tree is always happy to pose for you.
Don't just take photos of the trees head on, stand close and look up, take photos of the branches, get close-ups of the bark and leaves. Look through the PU gallery, there are some really good shots of trees and close-ups of leaves. I'm sure you can find lots of diferrent angles to look at the same tree. Most of all have fun with your photography.
Then maybe one day....you never know.

My Colombia trip as died a death.
He will be working minimum 12 hours a day for 6 days so there is little point in me going. I might as well not see him in the comfort of my own home as pay a fortune to not see him in Colombia.
I am very disappointed.
I'm so sorry you couldn't go.
Looking on the bright side though, , you could always spend the money with Pentax.

Great link, very interesting to know how it's done.
Although I probably would never be able to afford that kind of set-up.

All fantastic shots. I agree with all the above comments; but for me #3 has the edge if this were a comp.
