Fun with the Pentax K5

I'm not shure is it OK or trash...

I like it.. can't really say why, maybe the play of light.. it's a bit soft but not every photo has to be tack sharp to be good.... certainly not trash.

Very nice how the damsels seem to enter the frame from the right below, rest for a moment in the middle and leave the frame again in the upper left corner.

I'd say, a walk well worth taken, Malcom.

All the best.

I like it a lot.... it has lovely tones that perfectly suit the expression. I also like the softness.

great images...and still each time I come here I find out that I really like the color and look of the Pentax files. For my taste the colors beat Nikon and Canon and many mirrorless cameras.
Lets see some more.
Is the AF of the K5II reliable? When I had a K5 I had often problems with unprecise AF.

Hi Dan,

I like this locks series a lot, must be my roots as civil engineer ...

All the best.

Found surprisingly little insect life in my favourite park.
No damsels, no butterflies, no dragons; time to switch to new hunting grounds I guess.
A few berries and one tiny spider ...

That 1.7x seems to work very well; great series Bart.
