WOW! Great collections of shots, guys!

Smeggy I particularly like the one of the man who looks so tired and worn out. Wonderful shot.

ISO6400, cropped.
K-5, FA-50/1.4 @ f/4 indoor.

High ISO used without checking, I discovered. Thought it wouldn't come out useful, but was pleasantly surprised. The K-5 opens up new opportunities.

LOL! Wonderful eyes. My cat was sitting on my lap when I rolled this one up.... he took off like a rocket! Thought it was a real cat coming out of the screen at him *giggle* (I should not laugh, but I can't help it)

Trig, I love that picture of your boy (I assume it's your boy). Love the lighting and the look on his face. Fantastic capture!

Thanks! Yep, that's my boy. Just one of those moments that the K-5 shines. I would not have been able to get such a shot like that with my K-7 at that ISO of 3200. It would have been a heck of a lot noisier and lack dynamic range on the K-7.
