thanks for all the advice, spent a little time today just shooting the same subject with lots of different settings, hope to figure out that way what works and what doesnt.

eh...i meant what kind of moth....want to know the name so i could google it, i cant really make out any features. im just glad it doesnt live in my neck of the woods.

i must be an awful eejit, great photo, but what is it? it looks like a mouse climbing a rope....

thanks john and matt, better learn to walk before running eh? am still handling it like a new baby, i suppose once i have dropped it on its head once, i will relax
i just want everything now!

new firmware update released on the 13th, just updated mine now to v 1.02

hi all, bought my first camera k-x just before xmas, came with kit lens 18-55mm, dont know yet what others lenses i might need, but would appreciate some advice. not going big game or bug hunting so dont think i need anything too fancy. if it is being discontinued, i better get in quick, though am i right in thinking that all pentax lens should fit most pentax cameras?

Im curious, do you get your best shots when you go out to take pics, or do you carry your camera all the time, and just see an opportunity? I have visited a few sites where all these people seem to do is spend from morning till night tramping the countryside taking photos. The divorce rate amongst photographers must be sky high

thanks i-berg, had a look, but i have a k-x, not a k-r, not sure what the differences are. camera came with kit lens 18-55mm, and i have taken a few pics, messed around with the software etc. but still have a lot to learn. bought a couple of books, so some hard reading ahead... doesnt help that the few pics i took with my samsung p+s on flickr look better than the ones i took with the pentax....david bailey, i am not. Am going off now to confuse myself further with lenses, filters etc.

thanks john, i have a feeling you are going to see my name a lot....
