All excellent, looks like the light was superb and your wacky approach paid off.

I'd suggest joining PU Plus and then getting 20% discount on servicing from JPS, the official repair house.

This what the guidelines say in the Classified section of the forum:
Quote:
"A place to put your for private sales and wanted camera adverts. Please only use this for Pentax related equipment. Any non photo adverts or trade ads will be deleted"
Please remember this is a place for the adverts and for the replies to the adverts. Posts that list other non-Pentax gear or that stray from the purpose of the section may be deleted.
If communicating by PM it can be helpful to other members if the item being discussed is mentioned. It can also be helpful when an item is sold that the OP finishes off the thread by telling us. Feedback can then follow as appropriate.
There is no prohibition such as you describe, but it is probable that members will exchange their offers/counter offers/payment details etc in a secure way. All the guidelines say is that if dealing by PM, please keep us all informed so we know what items are still for sale."A place to put your for private sales and wanted camera adverts.

This has recently surfaced again on my Facebook feed, so I thought it worth a look.

There is a forum section called "Classified Ads" and it's full of classified ads! If you post an advert elsewhere in the forum it might well be moved to this section so the right audience will see it.
Ads in the forum section are free, but must be Pentax related.

Originally, the paid for ads were the only ones, but later a section was added to the forum that was free. As some people still wanted to use the old method, it was kept available.
It's all about choice. It's much the same as putting a classified ad in a newspaper, with the same potential pitfalls. As always, caveat emptor.

Unlike digital, with film the camera body doesn't really have any effect on the quality of the results. Provided it's a precision made one anyway, but all Pentax models will be fine.

Generally, nothing jumps out at us and says, "I'm a once in a lifetime photo opportunity!" Even if the OP had a camera ready, the bird spotted might have still flown away.
We make our successes, so watching behaviour patterns and waiting....is the way things work. If we know a bird has a tendency to land in a certain spot, do a certain dance, etc., then we position ourselves and wait, hopefully with the right kit at the ready.
That isn't to say that compacts are not useful, they are, and I always carry my MX-1.

You've done very well here to control the reflections and also to keep the green from over-exposing and turning yellow/green.
