Those pictures are extraordinary pinholecam! Need to look at an FA-85 since I like portrait work also!

This is a hurry before you go and pose for me kinda shots. Fun with the girls testing my new to me cheapo Neweer TT-520 speedlite and first speedlite ever for me. Getting there.

I like the butterfly. Great job.
What are your lens and cam?

San Diego, at the baseball game yesterday. A small Sony RX-100 in my shirt pocket for wide angle shots, and the K-30 with 55-300mm lens for sports action. Not a very exciting game -- two last-place teams, hot humid day, few attempts at base-stealing and no plays at home plate. But great hot dogs, and the cold beer sure hit the spot!

First 3 pix below from the K-30 on TAv. Lens at 1/800, f/10, ISO whatever. The K-30 autofocus is more than fast enough for action photography. Particularly for a sport like baseball, where you can pre-focus at a particular spot where action may develop. The 300mm lens gets you in so close -- you have to keep your other eye open to see what will be coming into your viewfinder. The K-30 is a far better camera than I am a photographer -- when I missed a shot, it was usually because I had the spot focus mistakenly on a player behind the one I wanted to photograph. K-30 camera and lens ergonomics are perfect for sports. You can't miss, it's a delight.

Last pic below is from the RX100, so you can see the whole stadium. Chose to use it instead of taking a Pentax 28mm lens along -- what with beer and soda splashing, dust in the air, etc. My challenge now will be to get everything I can out of the 55-300's widest setting... the 55mm end. It's not wide angle, but should work fine for portraits and detail closeups... we'll see.

San Diego. At the baseball game yesterday, K-30 with 55-300mm lens. TAv, 1/800, f/10, ISO whatever. The K-30 is excellent for sports, more than fast enough if you pre-focus on a spot where action may develop. Camera is way better than I am ... missed several shots by mistakenly spot-focusing on a player behind the one I wanted. Ergonomics are superb... so easy to handle... never had to think.

Last pic below is from an RX100... I keep it in my shirt pocket for wide-angle images. Easier than changing lenses on the K-30, don't have to carry a camera bag. Love the 55-300mm lens... next challenge will be to learn the 55mm end of it. Portraits? detail shots? Pre-set for street photography grab shots? We'll see.
