Here are a few flower photos with the K-10 and the excellent Kiron 28mm f 2.0 and its very short MFD that makes it appropriate for flower photography if you don't mind perching almost on top of the flower.

how about some greens

Out of the Camera JPGs ( I do not have a computer for Post Processing for now...)





Both shot with the K-50 and the K50/4 Macro

Anyone knows how to do PP within the K-50? I always shoot neutral, because I shoot RAW mostly... Now, since I will be using OOTC JPGs I'd like to add a bit of something.

It seems that I cannot add anything to the shot once it is captured... I reckon I'd have to choose a pre-setting before shooting...

I use the Natural jpeg setting, with slight increases in sharpness and contrast - that seems to give me the best starting point with my postprocessing....

I shoot RAW on my K3 and KP. I then process the file, myself in camera. I do not know if the K50 is the same but I suspect it is, so here is what I do:-
Go into play back and then press the bottom button of your 4 way controller. Mine is marked WB. A menu screen will appear super-imposed over your image. Choose either RAW or the circle called Digital Filter. The digital filter is useful for quick adjustments to hue, contrast, saturation, sharpening and exposure. RAW offers you much more choice including WB, Image style (in image style there are yet more options including highlight and shadow control). In fact there are so many options a whole thread could be based upon them. I tried last year to start one up but was put down by RAW processing snobs so gave up. So anyway after choosing either RAW or Digital Filter press your info button, your options will then appear. I hope this helps. I find the Pentax RAW processing in camera is usually plenty good enough to get my images just how I want them. only reverting to the computer for perspective control or adjusting horizons. I have Fuji and Ni
kon cameras too and the Pentax RAW processing is vastly superior to either of them.

Awesome! Thanks - I reckon I can keep shooting RAW and just convert to JPG once I add the Digital Filters... I just tried it and it works on the k-50

Thanks

I found the Natural one... Yes, I had this one but with everything zero'd out. Will shoot with light increments in Sharpness and contrast (legacy glass needs it) and take it from there.

You guys rock.

With the comments above in mind, I decided to do some test shots. K-50 with K 50/4 Macro

Thanks again fellahs, I like the results... My only complaint is the noise added by the increase to sharpness, It cannot be controlled. But, to be fair, it is quite nice what can be acomplished!

Cheeers!
