After close examination, we've decided that's Tess. We were both wearing orange (it's hunting season in dem dar woods) but I was wearing a dark hat and she was wearing her blonde hair, and she was shooting with a tripod, and I wasn't. So it's almost certainly her.
By 'close examination' I suspect you are able to dig pretty deep into pixel peeping with the K-3 before it turns into just a bunch of spots. In fact, at this point, while you and I are both fans of the 18-135, I suspect the lens is more the limiting factor than the camera sensor.

Lovely colours... Should be placing my order for a K-3 next week.

This is a 3 shot panorama. This place is really hard to photograph. The light that comes off this lights up the town with terrible light pollution (what do stars look like?)



And this is the same subject, just further away...

Carried my K-3 & 18-135 for 38 Miles of mountain biking and just under 4000 Ft. of elevation gain yesterday. I'm feeling it today!







Back at the parking lot I spotted this scene and grabbed a shot. I didn't realize until she got closer that there's a baby on her back! I don't see that very often.

See, that's the trouble with those mountain bikes, you go somewhere and 19 miles later, after the pain starts to set in, you realize you have to get home now.

Are you practicing for when Sports Illustrated calls looking for swimsuit photographers?

Took this sunrise shots on a small island just off Okinawa's shores. I love silhouettes.

I'm using this lens for Single in November challenge, and so far found it quite reliable and useful from landscape to pseudo macro works

Here are two of my recent shots:

Some of my first 18-135 images taken a few weeks ago in Scotland and Germany. Really impressed with the IQ and happy to have WR (came from a sigma 18-125)










These next shots were during the rain - loved wandering around with a saturated camera without a care while all others had to huddle under the little amount of shelter available :P




































































excellent travel lens. highly recommended.

Got my K-30 and 18-135mm WR lens last Thursday, and have been out shooting almost every day since. I'm super new so nothing amazing yet, but I've been starting to explore zoom, focus, aperture, ISO and shutter speed.

Here is one of the photos I took - decided to take advantage of the weather we've been having lately to try out the WR feature of the camera and lens!

You certainly never appreciate how much fun it is to have a WR body/lens until you're out there in a downpour!

You will be pleased the first time you are out shooting with other people, when the rain starts, and everyone else will hide their camera and rush to keep it dry! but you are still there and enjoying yours
I had this experience.
