Hi all,

I have been lurking these forums for over a year now as it's an invaluable resource for anything Pentax, and a good forum to discuss photography in general as well. So as I want to have a bit more active part in the community I decided to register.

I shot Pentax a bit in the manual era (together with Nikon and Canon. Basically used all cameras I could get a hand on), but when entering the digital age I went with Canon. This year I thought it was time for an upgrade so I have invested in a K-5. Really satisfied so far!

I am Swedish, but is currently living in the beautiful city of Prague in Czech Republic.

- Magnus

Welcome, and glad that you choose the K-5! It's an unbelievable camera!

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to seeing some shots from Prague. It looks like a beautiful city (and is on my "list" so to speak of places to visit - so is Sweden for that matter - just not in Winter I see enough snow in Canada

)

+1 the gallery shots are very good (that one with the skulls is great BTW, where was that in the CR?

Yes, our Czech skulls are very popular tourist attraction and we are proud for having them.
I'm glad to welcome yet another K-5 owner in Prague. The city is literally infested with Pentaxes!

Thanks! The skulls are from a small chapel in a town two hours from Prague called Kutna Hora. More about the chapel here http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary

There are more ossuaries in the Czech republic but this one is the most famous. I enjoyed your photos from Prague and Czech republic. It is interesting to see the places I see each day with different eyes.

Likewise. I have been in Prague for 3.5 years now, and I never seem to run out of subjects.
