Birthday party

condor27596 · 10-30-2015, 04:25 PM

So I go to a birthday party ( 4 years, outside, at a park, from dusk till past dark ).

I'm doing what I always do. Snapping shots of the scene as well as my daughter. It's fairly not lit as far as ambient light now.

This nice person ( the wife of a friend from church ) says " hey do you have canon or Nikon ?"

I rotate my camera toward my face and say ( kinda surprised like). Even with my face I made a surprised look. " oh, Pentax!"

She did not ask anything else lol

That's when you reply:
I shoot a Camera not a canon.

I was carrying my K3 with DA 300* attached. Some guy walks by and says "Nice camera, is that a Knee-Kon?" When I told him it was a Pentax, he wen't "Psh!" and kept walking.

It's the way his backwoods accent pronounced it.
