"Nil illigitimus carborundum" Almin. Its a latin barstardisation meaning "don't let the bastards grind you down". You were in a public place and acquitted yourself perfectly.

Don't let this experience stop you from pursuing your hobby. If you do, they've won.

If this is a RAW image, upload it somewhere and post a link. This looks like a candidate for pseudo HDR (several images at different exposures from one RAW file) to me.

A word to the wise. Buy the two lenses now at their low price, wait until the price increases have propagated to all of the suppliers before selling the 50-135mm. SWMBO may not understand the marketing aspect, but it works, trust me.

EG: Use the money now to get the two lenses at the best price thay are likely to be for some time, replace the money later when you get as much as you can for the 50-135mm.

Enjoy.

Oh it's blue for us earthlings, unless you live in Northern Europe, then it's a grey colour mostly.
Seriously Eric, I concede that the K-7 in and of itself may not have many 'new' features but it does improve on other innovations introduced in earlier Pentax models. I can't think of any other DSLR's that have introduced TAv exposure mode. Now please don't slag me off if I've missed one, I don't spend my days glued to the photography press and have little interest in scoring points over other manufacturers.

The K-7 ticks all of the boxes that any DSLR user up to advanced semi-pro status might want, surely.

What features/functions would you like the K-7 to have that it currently lacks?

Brilliant, thanks. Let me know when you have some seed and I'll give you my address, just up the coast in Murcia.

What colour is the sky on your planet?

That looks like the passion flower that produces edible fruit. If it is, can you send me some seeds when it fruits please?

Great pic by the way.

No, only once (I hope).

BTW: Nispero fruits are in the shops already and I almost bought some today. It's a bit early yet though.
