Nice job, just shows what the K10D is capable of, in the right hands of course.

It didn't look oversharp in the browser to me, in fact it didnt look any different when I opened it in photoshop, but then again I'm overdue an eye test.

Pete;

DO NOT touch the mirror, you will more than likely regret it, and besides the Pentax god may well strike you down for daring to damage his holiest of cameras!

PS. PENTAXMike, welcome to the forum.

Liam, Daniel;
thanks, have now seen the error of my ways, I shall endeavour do it properly in future.

Liam, the birds are always dribbling (drooling) when they see me, but that because theyre all over 70 and half blind.

Everyone else; thank you for your kind words, but most of the credit has to go to the K10D.

Isn't there an old saying something like:

"the only difference between a professional photographer and an amatuer is the amount of film they use"

Bit out of date now I suppose but you could replace "Film" with "Memory"

Anyway, doesnt being a pro have something to do with names that end in ON....CanON, NikON, MorON!

PS: Viewfinder, go buy a K10D you wont regret it.

Hello Folks, perhaps the aforementioned saying could end with:-

Right chap, right camera.
Aww, but Jonesy, that ruins the joke!

Well I am glad someone is having great light to play with!

Nice shots Spirit, especially that first one, but I think its time for the old saying to be modified.....right time, right place....right camera!

alternatively...."what nice pictures, you must have a very good camera". ROFL

Where do you get one of those cameras??
You buy a Canon of course!
