I haven't posted any for a while but I have been taking pictures. I recently purchased a K20 and I'm loving it. Is it a good camera or what?
We all know how the K20 performs but I decided to put it through it's paces witha lesser rather than a better lens. The lens I chose is my trusty Tamron 28-300 and these shots are a nice selection to show off the K20s skills.
I hope you enjoy them and I hope it gives an idea of the quality of the output of this camera.

It's well worth looking at the bigger versions and even bigger versions can be found in the Gallery (link in my sig).

Great shots Gary, the K20D really is an impressive camera and it seems your really enjoying yours. BTW the last one is my favorite, what a view!

[Ash]

Well done Gary,
Lots of great captures here.
The K20D's impressive, as we already know, but the person taking these images made it all happen.

Gary, there are very nice pictures there! But that lens is terrible! There is some severe PF in #12 !

Very nice series of shots. Glad you are liking your new camera.

Thanks Mike

Holy Smokes Gary... I thought you were getting the white KM....

Congrats on the new camera...

Thanks Gus, I was and I did.

Congrats on the new hardware, Gary! Good stuff there. I'm a sucker for a good sunset and #8 grabbed me immediately.

Thanks Jim

Congrats on the new camera and nice series of first pics, enjoy!

Congrats Gary, You gotta be lovin that camera, It's the best thing since sliced bread. Looks like you did a good job of putting it thru it's paces.

Looking forward to seeing more.

John

Thanks John, I'm disappointed with myself for waiting.

you can see a difference in the noice levels on the shots from your place. I have it on the buy too now that the price has dropped. Nice run through and looks like you will be liking the K20 just fine. JIM

Jim thanks, yes it is pretty noticeable isn't it?

#10 is just perfect!

Shucks, thanks Ole, that is actually one of the first night scenes I've been happy with, it'll be intereswting to see how much better a more capable lens will be.

Are we twins separated at birth or what ?I am also awaiting a K20D this week,great shots with the lizard smirking at you is a classic(Must know a good camera when ones pointing at him)glorious sunset and night shots.....When the little ones come we will picture perfect



enjoy and keep shooting


cheers

Yo bro! Thanks

Good stuff. I like the lizard shot a lot. Hard to believe that's 800 ISO too. Your your duck shot's a classic as well.

Thanks, that lizard lives in a woodpile at work, he has got quite used to me.

It's hard to explain just what it is, but I found the picture IQ to be a noticeable step up from the K10D.

Congrats on the purchase!

Thanks and yes, it is a noticeable step up, I guess it's a case of needing to find out for ones self.

Congrats, and nice work... #1, #8, and #9 for me... #1 'cause I'm in flower mode right now and that's a beautiful shot, #8 - rocks, #9... I love the hints of firey light in the bay.

Thanks Josh mate.

Looks like you need a bit of practice with the new K20 mate

Yaaagh get on with yer! Thanks for the sarcasm Taff.

Wow, Gary, these are great, can't pick one, you sure made the K20D even more tempting in my eyes!

Thanks Georg, I can honestly say I think the upgrade was worth it.

Way to work out the new purchase. A nice series and looking forward to more shots. Congrats !

Thanks Dave.

Gary,



Nice series.

Have fun with your new camera.

Ray

Thanks Ray and I'm definitely having fun.

Great shots Gary, the K20D really is an impressive camera and it seems your really enjoying yours. BTW the last one is my favorite, what a view!

Thank you there, I consider myself extremely lucky to have that view.

Thanks Ash, I apreciate those kind words.

Gary, there are very nice pictures there! But that lens is terrible! There is some severe PF in #12 !

But isn't it just the best PF you've ever seen?

Had to go over all your images slowly. I with the dog who looks like he is not too happy that you got a K20D and he didn't! Nice work overall, but I like some of your plant images best and the banana shot.

[Sailor]

It's a great camera and you've used to present a great demonstration series. The banana behind the water glass is super.

Congratulations on your new camera, a great camera. You sure gave it a good workout great series of photos. I like the first one, looks like a pear bloom, I took a couple yesterday. The woodpecker is great and the night scene really look good, thanks for sharing

Fantastic Gary. The K20d makes a difference doesn't it? And why some still consider it a "minor"
upgrade is beyond my understanding. Wonderful captures!
