Looks good to me.

Following avidly. The end of April should see me travelling back home and allowing me to resume shooting and posting regularly.

so count me in too.
By the way, by no limitation to what gear to use, does also include camera phones?

If that's OK, I may just opt to do it on my phone for some days.

Perfectly acceptable!

I'm scared.

My vote goes to Noel as theme master of the month

As you know, the only day pastors actually work. So gotta make it count

I'm up for another month.

March has stretched my photography into new and interesting directions and definitely taken me out of my comfort zone. I've even got a Flickr account now and I hope one day to learn how to use it properly!

It's also proved to be expensive as I've upgraded my cheap, just for messing about with old glass k200 to a nice K5 I happened to accidentally buy off eBay... Oh well. Anyone want to buy a K200?

I like the themes even though I have only just managed to stop looking for orange things... The suggestions look good fun.

Themes are good for me.

The downside with themes: I keep seeing shots for earlier themes! The good thing is that they, at least sometimes, help me look for different subjects than I habitually do.

Good! Exactly the point of the challenge

Congrats! It's a wonderful camera. Mine has moved on to my father to replace his K10D, but it helped me capture lots of memories before that.

Are you sure you want to let it go? It's the last of the CCD generation, and you'll see a lot of people still love the colour response from those sensors. Just sayin'

**djb47** · 03-29-2018, 01:28 PM

I'll give it another go for Apr. Themes look just fine.

I can't afford to keep it! If my wife finds out how much the K5 cost as a "second cheap just for fun camera" she'd have a fit! I can't really own 3 DSLRs plus a Lumix LX5.... Not and avoid marital disharmony.

I'm loving the K5 though. Smaller and lighter than the 200d but with lovely features and image quality. Tbh I haven't owned the 200d long enough to become attached. Just long enough to realise that Pentax is probably the way forward for me.

I’m in. Spending April around Goolwa so just local stuff from me.... looking forward to using each lens I own at least once this month (only 14 or so lenses). I think I’m doing a wedding one day.

**zippythezip** · 03-30-2018, 05:56 PM

Well I do miss days due to weather and work but I am in. No idea what gear I will use any day, that's what I enjoy about the "Daily In"

Hope you have fun with your K5, I enjoyed mine. My K200 died of "depleted battery" so I gave it away.

Note here to other "Daily" folks ask me before buying a K5 =) I am not going to put it in the sell market but would let it go cheap to a good Daily home.

I'm in again too. Will try t keep up better with the comments this month as well.

I'm in again. My participation with the themes will be sporadic at best; I'm planning to do some film this month, now that the weather is improving.
