Just scanned through about 200 slides and dumped 99% of them. All taken with a Pentax SFXn and two Sigma lenses which were I suppose the Kit lenses at the time, 28-50mm and 70-200mm I think but am probably wrong ? This would be in 1989-1990. Only about 500 more then I can resume a normal existence

I took the cheapest subscription for 500px to see what other would say about my images. Won't be renewing as I don't take enough good quality images so the few I do take will be put up on pentaxuser and ot facebook. As a pro wanting to sell yes I imagine its a great system.

Liz is looking forward to seeing the finished rooms too David, she likes watching those sort of programs on TV "Homes under the hammer" finished results etc

Well Done David, I thought you had been conspicuous by your absence but not surprising. Welcome back to the "real" world

I had the same disappointment with Slimcea bread. I ate two loaves a day for a week and actually put weight on

Not sure what other settings I could have or should have adjusted but decided to try out the in camera HDR feature. This image is "as is" and has only been resized for the forum (72ppi)
The lens used was the 18-135 mm WR lens

Oops Yes I meant the K-3II Vic. I do like the grip on my K-5IIs although I'm getting along with the K-S2 ok as well. I don't take too much notice of reviews and prefer to read what everyday users think of what they are using. Hope you get some good shots on your cruise and share some on here

Thanks for the information Vic. It's also answered Algi's post as to what it tastes like. I've no idea what the tree trunk was that I found it growing on. As regards edible fungi I leave that to the experts and just buy mine from the supermarket

PS how you getting on with the K-3

It does seem smaller though, and I wonder how those with larger / normal European sized hands are finding it?
(only mentioning this with regards to Asia sizing vs UK/Aus/USA sizing etc.)

What's the vibe?
I find it ok to use hand held and I have quite large hands. I think I tend to use on a tripod about 70% of the time but that is age related not so steady now and eyes not what they were for the viewfinder. Also like the idea of the articulated screen for low level work or viewing say decorated ceilings as found in churches etc., with getting a crick in the neck or lying flat out.

On a more serious note it might be a Laetiporus sulphureus but depends on which image you look at, or a yellow brain fungus. However am sure someone more knowledgeable will come up with the real ID!
I hope it's called something like former name. I have an image I'll put in a competition as I love to hear the judges pronounce these weird names
