Thought I'd pop in and say hello! I'm 'the wife' that Portland mentions in his first post, with a big bag full of Pentax kit and no idea what to do with it!
I'm new to DSLRs and pretty bad at photography in general - no idea why I suddently decided I needed a DSLR, but there you go, these things happen! My previous cameras (except for a film SLR I had about 20 years ago and can't remember much about) were point and clicks, specifically waterproof ones for use when snorkelling. My Dad had a Pentax SLR when I was young so just gravitated to the make automatically. Loving the K10D so far. So many lens with so many moving parts....and so little idea what to do with any of them.
A few beers and ebay access resulted in the purchase of a Tamron 90mm macro on Tuesday night, which has just arrived from Hong Kong this morning - it's fab; I have a flower (a snapdragon) in a glass of water that is now the most photographed flower in the North of England!
Think I might go and stalk round the garden for things to practice on later!
I probably won't be posting much but will be lurking and reading to educate myself. Great forum folks, loads for me to go learn from - thanks!
