Hello everyone, just thought I'd upload a few shots from our first annual Pentax Days.
Here is the rundown of the event:
We had our regional Pentax Sales rep come to the store, ran a bunch of specials and hosted some classes. Friday we ran a beginners K10D class with myself as the speaker and on Saturday we ran a Nature and Marco session with guest speak Marc Langille aka 35mmfilm_user. No Marc doesn't live anywhere near Rockford Illinois, but we did make it worth his while and also made sure he had a lot of fun being here.
We had 30 people in the store for the K10D class and the macro and nature classes varied from 20 to 25 people. We had a blast putting on the show and making sure everyone left with questions answered and new skills learned.
Here is a little story put together from some of the images I took while Marc was giving his presentation and hopefully he doesn't mind these shots coming up, but they are so good!
(David) I better hurry and put this together before the class starts...
(Marc) Don't worry David I'm downloading the manual right now!
(Marc) Man, this is harder than I thought...
(Marc) It says here step one is to make sure we've read the manual!
(Marc) Man this manual is confusing...
(Chris) Looks like you got it to work Marc!
(Chris) Too bad you're not going home with this lens... ::EVIL LAUGH::
Well thats all folks, but it truly was honour having Marc come and speak and we all left learning a little bit more. Thank you again Marc and if you see this just know that you're an awesome guy and we're all glad you are as passionate about your work as you are a kind and generous person.
This one is for you Marc and thanks for letting me go overboard with the off camera lighting...
