Hello - Salisbury

Hello to you all; new user alert.

I have always shot with Pentax cameras; I am the proud owner of a GCSE in photography (A* grade!) earned with my Dad’s hand-me-down ME super. I didn’t do a lot of photography for a while, then a few years ago, I inherited another cast-off camera of his, a Pentax DSLR that I forget the model of. This then got upgraded to the K70 I currently shoot with soon after, and I have been gradually upgrading from my kit lens. Really enjoying my 50mm f1.2 at present, as well as my 105mm macro, both with and without extension tubes.

I shoot mainly macro/still life stuff, and increasingly portraiture, now that I have improved to a level where the people in the pictures aren’t horrified by the results! Attached are a couple of recent snaps, assuming I have worked the technology correctly...

Welcome to the forums... good to have you with us

You're very modest regarding your abilities. Those are awesome shots - creative, well-composed and beautifully executed.

Looking forward to your involvement here!
