Got one at a soccer match tonight

This reminds me of a story I recently heard. A woman walked into a Henry's looking for a pointed shoot to shoot her son's soccer matches, and walked out having dropped $10,000 on a Canon rig like that, and also signed up for a class to show her how to use it. Whoever told me the story thought it was example of irresponsible overselling by the salesman. My take.. if she has the money what's the issue? And I was impressed he wouldn't let her leave the store without arranging for the lessons. Which the guy thought was also horrible overselling. To me that's just responsible, if you sell someone who wants a point and shoot a DSLR with a $5000 plus lens, surely you want to make sure they understand how to use it.

Moving on.....

Some folks who stopped their car to ask what I was shooting, then got out and came and visited me over at my shooting spot.

Look at the guy's hat. Theres an images that uses the K-1's extra resolution.

Taken with the Pentax XG-1.

My daughter-in-law with Tess's old K-x and Sigma 18-250 which were passed on to her after Tess took my first K-5 and declared it hers. Taking pictures of her dogs on a frozen lake. If ever there was day to turn that lens hood around. Light coming off the snow at all angles. Oh well...

Corbin the dog

This was the thread I was looking for! Went to a secluded beach on the weekend only to find mini buses full of photographers testing their camera weather sealing.

My goodness, a bus trip to test weather sealing? Do none of these people own a shower?
I don't want to be on that bus, the smell might be overpowering.
