Thanks, Paul! I probably spend waaaay too much time photographing
dragonflies, but what else is there to do?

They are gorgeous critters. And at certain times of the day, they're
willing to sit still. Sort of like shooting Grace:-).

Hi Mark,
Some great macro shots. I saw a few blue dasher this weekend, first
of the year around here. Your pics are just gorgeous. Better than
the real thing!

The macro photos in this blog post - "Saturday Afternoon" - were
taken with the K7 yesterday - the camera was fresh out of the box.

I have yet to read the manual, but the K7 worked well in my first
round of shooting, using a manual focus A lens and flash setup on a
DIY bracket. I did have to turn the flash compensation all the way
down (-3 on the AF360FGZ iself, and -2 on the K7 body) to keep the
exposure in line. That's different from the K10D which I usually
use with only -.5 compensation. FWIW - setting ISO, flash
compensation, RAW file selct, etc, was all very intuitive, no
consulting the manual required.
It's not apparent in the small web sized images, but the amount of
detail -e.g. in the cells in the dragonflys' eyes - is noticeably
better than what I got with the K10D.

Subject: k-7 Owners
To all PDMLers who now own the new K-7:
I know it's been a little slow on the list lately, but I wouldn't
mind a flurry of photos shot with the new K-7. (Actually, I
thought there'd be a flurry already.) Go ahead and show off your
new equipment and photos and all the possible crazy shooting
schemes :-) you guys can dream up. The more the merrier, in my view.
I'm very keen on the new camera, and, I guess, I'd like to share in
"owner excitement" if K-7 owners are willing to create some!
Cheers, Christine
