I like the shallow DOF on the last two shots. Was flash used? It looks kind of like on-camera flash.

I use my Domke...F5xc or something like that....holds K3 with 31 on it, F*300, 21, 15, 77 and 43... this time no 43 but Im carrying a 10-17 fish eye......all fit with a lens cleaninng kit and spare battery. About 5kg though.

Domke makes great camera bags. I've got several myself. I don't have your model, but I purchased a Billingham Hadley Pro to carry 5 or 6 lenses when I need them.

That's because out of the different photographers here, 3 were using Pentax !

Nicolas Please don't be offended by my comment but I noticed the yellow cast to your photos taken without the flash, this can be quite easily improved by adjusting the colour temperature. I took the liberty of making this adjustment to one of them and it gives the skin a more natural colour and changes the dress from yellowish to white. Hope you don't mind my comment.

I have no isuse, everybody has different tastes and preferences and I prefer 100 time we discuss this than taking the risk of missing an opportunity to progress.

If you permit me to comment, I'd say your version is heavy on blue and a bit on green. This is not my screen as on the original image the window on the left as a RGB code of 254, 254, 254 meaning almost pure white with no cast at all... While your corrected one as a RGB value of 206, 222, 255, so an heavy cast on blue, and medium on on greens.

This is not a scene where 1 global setting will give a perfect white balance on all part of the picture. So that's not easy. I prefer oveall my version than yours, but for sure the dress is quite a bit yellow on mine. Maybe something in between would give the best results?

In fact, the one with the flash look the best in term of tones. There still a bit of cast, it keep overall the ambiant colors of the room that was quite warm but remove a big part of it on the dress and skin tone and I prefer that lighting overall. You can correct it much more easily for an interresting result.

Note to self: use flash even more and improve on it !
