A dust storm blew through Lubbock the other day and I happened to have my K-x with me. You could directly look at the sun and the temperature dropped big time. Yikes!

I lived in Amarillo for a time and remember those dust storms well. Left a window cracked about two inches one day when one blew through and everything, I mean everything, was completely covered in dust. If I hadn't moved I would still be mopping it up and that was back in the '60's.

Not a good time to change lenses, huh?

LOL dadipentak. Most definitely not a good time to change them. I kept the kit lens on my K-x all day and kept the K-x in my backpack until I snapped a few photos, immediately putting it back after taking the photos. I still need to wipe my camera off pretty well, but the graduate papers I've been writing for my classes have kept me busy all week. D:

those shots have a other world look and feel about them. Never been in a dust storm, so interesting to see what it looks like
