I reciently joined a local camera club and i must say that they are a very freindly bunch - some very experienced and some not so (like me)probobly like many clubs up and down the country. WE had a portrait evening last week and I was dismayed to see I was the only Pentax user. No one said anything bad about my K10 or anything but I can see why some people change over brands when every other DSLR you see is Nikon or Canon it does kind of have a non spoken peer pressure effect if you know what I mean. I must admit I even looked as some of the offerings from Nikon this weekend but realised it makes no sense to change brand when its me that needs to improve - not the camera - but i am seriousley thinking about the K7 and my dear wife does not mind as she just got a new horse for £850 so the price is comparitive

However this has further strenghened my resove to get going; enter some of my local club competitions and show what the Pentax brand can do. I will post lots more images in the pictures section for critique in the future as I am determined to start getting better at this.

Just had to get this off my chest really and apologies for the spelling

cheers
