I turned up the EV to +3( but it seems that would not affect a RAW file)
Actually it will. setting exposure compensation has a direct effect on the amount of light reaching the sensor, the only camera adjustments that are not applied to RAW files are those which affect jpeg processing.

I hope he doesn't try shooting wildlife with that combo, he'll frighten everything off

Massive disaster on the catering front! Went to pull an ale out of the cupboard only to find an empty space. Nothing, zilch not even one rolled to the back and here am I pulling out of a bout of "Man flu."

I didn`t get where I am today by running out of ale.
Don't worry too much, this time tomorrow you'll be getting over the withdrawal symptoms.

Just the bog standard FA35-f2 lens...
Ooops still too sharp though

I remember some time ago (before I even used Pentax) reading a review on a Pentax lens aimed at portraiture (don't ask me which or when) but the review praised the lens for it superb sharpness and clarity but added that was NOT what you needed when shooting portraits especially of the fairer sex

But 10/10 for the effort.

That would have been our loss, it's far from perfect but the butterfly itself has been beautifully captured, were this my shot it would be one of those rare occasions when I'd go to town with photoshop on that rather distracting background, I may even be tempted to cheat and copy that other antennae across

it wasn't wide enough....

you've clipped off her chin

To be honest I think Pentax Lenses are far too good for female portraits and you go and take one with a Ltd

I know you want to show us what your new toy is capable of but do the lady a favour and soften it a little

The K20 is cumbersome compared to the Kr, I think you've done well in getting these out of it so quickly, that first shot is a cracker but is it the angle of view or had the poor thing lost an antennae?
