My experience with K-r

Nice pictures, Mystic. If you want some critique, I would say that the head-on flash does not give very flattering light. You can get a bit nicer lighting by using either a P-TTL cord or a radio trigger, and hold your flash in your left hand and camera in your right hand. Adding a small diffuser would help, too.
