Greetings.

I guess its time for me to show one of my pictures.
Plz bare in mind that im new to photography.

This picture is taken at an old church.
Its the side entrance and what captured my eye was the shape of the window on the other side.
It was the same shape as the doorway.
Picture was taken on my first trip with the 15mm lens and i was still using my older K-30 and not the newer K-3.
Camera was mounted on a tripod at the time as im still struggling with sharpness shooting handheld.

That;s a nice image. Thanks for sharing. The window does mirror the door in a delightful way.

A K-30 is a wonderful camera, it really isn't that old. Many people use older cameras (I have a K100d).

You should be able to hold the 15mm for a sharp image. Really, anything great than a shutter speed of 1/15 should be sharp (for that lens).

This a few examples where I actually like the DA15 rendering... It is like this DA15 preserve more colors and can get more contrast to fit into the photograph:

Great set. What is it like walking in those palm forests?

I didn't walk there, it was besides the road.
