My ambitions are numerous but mainly:

- Go to as many different places as I can manage - I tend to end up in the same places time after time, which is fine, as I love those places, but would like a bit more diversity in subject matter (rather than mainly just ducks!)
- Try and combine photography with my other main hobby - climbing (or 'bouldering' to be more precise); main problem here (apart from the hanging upside down by my fingertips type of thing) is that my hands are generally covered in chalk dust, nicely combining into a paste with sweat, and I don't really want to get that caked onto the camera...
- save up enough cash for a K-5, as soon as I can, because I always seem to be at ISO 800 (but ideally higher) when out and about at this time of year

Gosh - top notch high ISO performance (not bad shots either:wink. I find I am using ISO800 almost as default at this time of year on the K7 (especially as I am normally out pretty early), and having to use a fair old slug of noise reduction in PP... I don't like to go much above ISO800, but it does mean I'm rarely creeping above f5... I rather covet a K5, just need to find a grand down the back of the sofa...

Thread for any discussion...

Great shot - I like that you can see the layer of steel behind through the holes in the front layer, and really like the texture of the diagonal beam! Nice mono

Top stuff all round

Hello all. I was well chuffed today as I managed to creep over 100 pictures in the Pentax photo gallery. Thanks to anyone who voted for any of my pics

Here is a link to the PPG (assuming I've done this right...): link

Thanks folks! No pot of gold alas, although I'll keep looking (I could do with some gold...). Was very lucky to be in the right place at the right time though.

Cheers

Wow... wish I had a view like that

All great! Like everyone else I think the monkey in the rain is the peach, really top stuff though.
