Trying out the K-70 and Lightroom for the first time!
Lens: 18-135 Camera: K70 ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/200s Aperture: F5.6 
Posted By: shawbamos, 07-27-2018, 12:47 AM

Got the K-70 in the mail today! I have the 18-135 kit lens and I also pulled the trigger on the 100mm macro. This is my first crack at a DSLR. I have much to learn.

Got off work tonight and we had a beautiful full moon with clear skies. I figured it was a great opportunity to test out the camera. I also wanted to see if I could navigate Lightroom (kinda, lol)!

I took some shots of the moon with the kit lens. I was able to get a couple usable images. I attached the best one. I also had to test out the 100mm macro. Looking around the house I decided a couple of my wife's decorations would make good subjects. Overall, I ended up with about 10% of the photos being usable.

I also tried the RAW button. However, I was not able to view any of those on the computer. So, all of these are JPEG. Maybe I should actually read the booklet! Hopefully, you don't cringe too badly when you look them over.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate any and all pointers!
