By the way everyone - if the Christmas rush has got you down, do what I did this morning and have a wander through Lilly's FLICKR collection. Always puts me in a great place.
Thanks Lilly.
And Happy Christmas to you also.

My mistake!
Big happy family with many husband and wife teams as well!

Huge family get-togethers planned if the weather permits. My gear should get a work-out now that I sorta know what I'm doing.
One thing I've promised myself this year - no more simply blasting away and getting miserable shots of the backs of heads, people talking, blinking, chewing, etc.
This year it's - "Hey, photographer here! Look at the flippin' birdie!"
"Now, smile, dammit!"
I love shots of shock and fear
'course this all takes place after several Bowmore's.
Several of which I'll raise to you all!
Happy Holidays !

What I wanna know is - "When's it MY turn?"

It was Pete and the folk on this forum who taught me this trick on my K110D. Selector on "M", lens aperture ring enabled in menu, lens ring set to chosen aperture, half press shutter, press AE-L, fully press shutter. You'll see the lens stop down as the light reading is taken.
I've set my metering to spot in the menu as well. I'm not sure this is necessary, but I prefer it with all lenses.
You have a perfectly good lens there!
Cheers,

Your collection just gets better and better.
I hope you are doing well and will continue to prosper.
Now I'll remove the mute.
Cheers

I used the Pentax Kit O-ICK1 with success on my *ist DS sensor.
By the way, I love the name of this kit.
The first time I saw the crud on my sensor I said "Oh ICK!"

One of my favorite Scarlet Johannson movies was shot in Tokyo with another old guy - Bill Murray. An old Canadian guy.

Thank you as always Matt!
