Thanks, Joseph! All shots were hand held. I should have used the K7 on the
Peterson Grammar school shots--just to compare to the K5, but I didn't
really think about it. Since it was dark, I wanted to test the K5 at high
ISOs. I actually like that I can shoot ISO 80 too! Next week I'll try that
ISO. The low noise at high ISO is so liberating. Cheers, Christine

An exemplar series of photographs Christine. It was hard for me to choose a
favorite or two, but here goes anyway.
B&W Nos. 1, 3 & 5. That Silence sign must be a most photographed sign
amongst the local photographers, wonderfully balanced. As is the staircase
in #3, better than #4. #5 is nicely balanced, with a difficult lighting
situation handled. That those silhouetted figures didn't flare out or bloom
much is amazing.
Color Nos. 3, 5, 10 & 13. #5 forces one to study the details of the alley
better than #6. Every piece of brick, concrete, iron & steel tells a part of
a story laying over a long time period. #3 is a peaceful as it is colorful,
muted. Yes, I see you in #10, as well as a patient animal made more
interesting with the tribute of a Kodachrome red rose. #13 is an image I
would not have even noticed walking with my K7, as I could not have captured
all those details before the noise monster began munching at the deep
mid-tones.
Assuming you were not hefting a tripod or monopod for this series, I am
impressed by the sharpness and depth of focus you are getting, even at ƒ4.0
and a slow shutter speed.
May I welcome you to the large group of PDML members towards whom I am a
haterrrr! :-)

Wow! What fun I had. I sure hope this K-5 works out :-)))))
Next weekend I'm shooting an outdoor event, so I'll try the zooms, and
I'll be carrying my recently purchased Domke F2! I think I just might
have the camera-bag-frustration-thing eliminated! Woo! Hoo!
Comments welcome, Cheers, Christine

Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.
