Bit confused, thought the goods were bought this month for 205euros the K7 came our in July although I do not know when the DBG4 was available, imagine it is a grip but not sure on that point. Or do I not see the joke Mr F

I like the first very much think I may have cropped in so the image was filled with the pink hair like bloom, may also have rotated it to the left so the bee was walking up, but then it would be my image and not yours.

The other two do not seem to have a point of focus, nothing stands out, try moving some of the eaten leaves and close blooms away from the bloom that caught your eye and then take the shot with a DOF as shallow as light and the subject will allow (you may need to use a tripod for this if light is low)

Well done so far, I am always walking round the yard or the house looking for things to shot, most are of no interest at all but you do learn the limits of your equipment and yourself. So keep it up and let’s see your next efforts.

Had a bit of an accident when checking the WB in curves – liked it so much I left it like it and signed it off.

Expect some will hate it but I like it so I will keep it but can’t help feeling it is cheating some how.

Comments welcome, miniature rose taken on the kitchen worktop with K7, Sigma 105, 1/4seconds @ f4.5 no flash

LOL sorry to confuse you both but someone said they liked the K10 because it was big and chunky, well not knowing the K10 I assumed it was larger than the K20 which I would not think of as large and chunky.

I only managed 50% which I think is the sort of score you get by chance, did not study the images just clicked original for those that looked right and flip for the rest, just shows how wrong you can be.

I am sure which is why I suggested that perhaps this camera was different to the norm, unlikely but worth a look.

Sorry not K10 as I can't cope with big bodies, the K7 scores with that is is smaller than the K20.

If you are unable to access any card in the new camera then it would seem to be a fault with the camera unless it has to be loaded into the camera in a unexpected way and you have not read the directions, not getting at you which amongst us do read instructions on how to put in a SD card, might be worth a quick look before you return the camera for replacement.

Not really had my K7 long enough to comment, it is much quicker to focus and I have the feeling it saves quicker but that could be the card. I am happy with the results but do have a problem with the view finder, which may be my spectacles that need replacing.

Still have and use my K20 and purchased the K7 because I wanted two bodies. Not sure if I lost both which model I would replace them with two K7 or two K20. Think at the moment I am not used to the different layout on the K7 and because I am also using the K20 it is taking me a while to remember where the required controls are on the K7, having said that most are more accessible than on the K20.

Not much help am I, ask again in about 2 months, if you can wait that long and remember I am clocking on more than a bit so do not learn and retain as I used to.

Think this poll may be more the result of how most read forum threads than which of these too images is the most harmonious to view. We take in the first post and then skim for posts that either confirm our opinions or are directly opposed.

In this case I think perhaps the first image was taken by our brains as being the one intended by the OP to be the information that we should take in. Not saying this is an intentional act more subconscious. I re-viewed the two shots several times, sometimes the 2nd one first before choosing the 2nd because it suited my way of viewing, think I said tree first and then walk into the distance.

It is nice to be proven correct but interesting that I should be in the minority, perhaps which is why some peoples work appeals where others do not. Those who compose with your view of the world are easier to understand that those who compose in the totally opposite direction.
