Really good set - Nos. 7, 10 & 14 are the ones that are most striking for me.

Yes - smaller aperture = larger number, as Mike says kit lenses generally benefit from stopping down a little.

Regarding the various modes, personally I would practice with one mode and get familiar with that, rather than randomly switching between them which might end up confusing things. If the first two of your images above are your 'preferred' subject, then I would start with Av which will give you more control over the depth of field.

I think the Red Snapper QR plates Arca Swiss compatible?

I've also been asked to photograph all of the wreaths/bouquets on a couple of occasions.

My K5iis doesn't appear to record the lens name in PDCU4 when I'm using my HD DA 55-300 WR. It records it for my DA 18-135 and my DA L 18.55, it even records "A Lens" when using my old A 50mm F1.7.

Have I set something up incorrectly, or is an issue with the lens?
