You may be struggling, but those are nice photos. I had a "bridge" camera before a DSLR and it is a jump. The bridge cameras are so easy, where a DSLR takes some work, but it has so much more potential. Once you get to a certain point you start producing some good photos with more frequency.. Keep up the good work!
Thank you..I do miss my canon SX30.especially the big zoom,But I was ready for more.I do love this K-30,but at times I do have to say it has become a nightmare,especially with the kit lenses,,I can not make them take some shots I am looking for..All good though. I will get it .Only makes me better

Some cool shots here. I haven't been online in a while and haven't posted anything at all, so I thought I'd drop a few newer K 30 shots in.







It's always irritating that these don't look as sharp after uploading as they do on my computer...These are good at 100% on my machine, but look soft after uploading...I was especially pleased some of my recent in flight shots, especially with these small birds...

Those are some killer shots Pete. I'm not sure I've ever seen a shot of a bluebird in flight, it amazing!

Wow - just wow! The first one is a-friggin-mazing. Definitely deserves going on the wall.

I sympathize with the soft-after-uploading, I've had my share of problems of that sort also - I doubt that it's a problem with the forum website as such, though...

Thanks Tom and tclausen. I'm pretty pleased with the Bluebird in flight shots, I got several decent ones. Nothing good enough to sell, which is my main goal, but still pretty decent. And definitely not easy to get. I tried dozens of times. To get these I sat in my Jeep parked about 15-20 feet away and waited. I knew they would be in and out of the box. I originally built the box for Bluebirds, and Chickadees took it over...the Bluebirds still fought over it for a couple of weeks and apparently gave up because the Chickadees raised little ones eventually.

I've always noticed uploads are a bit soft, not sure why but it's irritating. These are definitely sharper than they look here...

Here are a couple more of the Bluebird in flight shots, taken around the same time at the same Bluebird box. Nothing great, but still decent enpough I'm not against showing them off a bit.
