Re: Pentax owner satisfaction (JD Powers)
Buying Pentax is an informed decision, you need to know what you are doing. People who don't know what camera to buy, will end up with Nikon or Canon as a safe bet, because that's what everyone else is using. I've met people with mid-range DSLRs who didn't even heard about Pentax. On the other hand, I really can't complain about the K3.

Nice flower, is it blooming outside? I think it's related to my Amaryllis: https://500px.com/photo/93540127/amaryllis-by-attila-boros but mine might be a hybrid, barely has any scent.

Re: PESO My first stereo image
Clever trick with the macro rail. I can see it after moving farther away from my monitor, when I'm sitting close I can't cross my eyes enough. I think it's different for everyone, experiment with the viewing distance if you don't get it at first try.

The viewing method is to open the image to full screen, face the screen perpendicularly and centered. Once set up cross your eyes so that three images appear, then focus on the middle of the three white dots and relax your eyes, you should then be able to look around the middle 3D image in comfort, if not try adjusting your viewing distance.

Re: high iso experiment
That's not bad at all, and you can improve them with a quick noise reduction in ACR / Lightroom. For even better results you could try noise reduction on each channel individually in PS, but that's not quick anymore. I like the first 2, nice framing!

The metadata is listed above each photo. There are five images here--(virtually as shot)— with a tarted up version that follows to make for a total of 10 images. Clearly, there is noise, but I have to say, I was still surprised with the quality given the ISO.
