Hello! I am new to the list, new to Pentax, new to digital photography, and new to photography.
I am still discovering the features of my newly acquired K-5 (thanks so much, Boris!) after playing with Larry’s K-3 (thanks, Larry, for your gear, your time, and your nearly endless patience). I am still struggling with focusing and am barely touching the surface of comprehension of what light actually means when you are not just looking at it but operating an external lens to create images. The reason I started paying attention to photography was Larry’s landscape photos. He photographed places in Oregon and I layered his vision of them with my vision of them. I thought that I could communicate my vision through the images I take but so far I cannot. As of now I find my landscape photos to be interminably boring. But flowers and humans do cooperate sometimes. Below are the two photos I am currently happiest with. While the photographers were creating landscape photos that would be pleasing for me to look I was photographing them, trying to capture their faces lit by sunshine and smiles.
