I have the luck of being in El Paso for the next 3 weeks. There are so many new places for me to shoot, and practice with my new K5 CC welcome

I used my HDR program to bring out the clouds some. This K5 is so much fun to use! The second shot I used the 2 color extraction.

Also impressed.

Really like the first image the most.
The dramatic sky and consistent tones throughout the image really work with the setting imo.

Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoyed using my Kx, and the one color extraction, but the 2 color option is really nice. I bought the sigma lens from a forum member, and I think it is he perfect lens for me and the K5, it seems to be really sharp.

Thanks Edward. I do think this one will end up framed at my house.

Charles, I am so happy with this K5, I was going to get it in June, but I wound up with a company bonus that allowed me to get it before I went on a business trip to El Paso. I am having nothing but fun with it!

The third shot is my favorite, but I like the first one too. Having grown up in Texas, I like to see photos from the great state. Keep them coming!
