Fun with the Pentax K5

I have to say that each time I look through this thread I am even more impressed by the results of this camera. There is a look to the pictures which I just don't see in the N, C or S threads - or maybe I am fooling myself.
The more I see the results, the more I am tempted to replace my aging M8 kit, even though the primes I use are excellent.

There is definitely a 'look'. I am selling my GH2 because I prefer the K5 look. I finally had some prints done. Not a fair comparison as they were taken on different days, different lighting etc but those from the K5 were deeper, richer, like old Cibachrome prints from film. The GH2 images often look sharper on-screen but when printed I preferred the K5. Anyway, take that with a pinch of salt as it's just my opinion and a very unscientific one at that.
Don't know about whether it beats an M8 though!

Early morning walk with dog and 100 macro: dog really cooperated so there is some good stuff here:
All of this within 15 minutes...walking the dog around the block. Pic 1: air plant...Pic 2 frayed edge of putting green...Pic 5: chopped edges of palm fronds...Pic 6: thorns on palm fronds.

The sun finally made an appearance today, so i got a chance to try my new 300 F4. Quality build, no doubt. What is also certain is that this is not a fast sports lens. If you are close to focus, then the lens immediately focus's on the intended target, if not, it goes through its focus range. For subjects which are static to a certain degree, its very nice. I also like how it blurs out the background, even when shooting at F8. Of course this is effected by the distance behind the subject, but it does do a nice job. The last shot of the street sign, the sign is around 200 feet away. Outside of resizing, or a crop or two, thats all that was done, JPEGs out of the camera. Here are a few very non-artistic shots.

WOW - everybody seems to have been quite busy today :thumbs:
Lovely shots all round.
Here are my today's attempt to capture some dragonflies.
Crickey, no idea that it would turn out so difficult hand holding this DA*200.
Anyway though the outcome is not perfect, I am still pleased.
NB These are crops, but only made square by chopping off some of the left and right sides of the original images.
Thanks for viewing.
