Hi,

I'm Kate, I love photography and new to this forum. At first, no one narrated me how addictive this hobby could be! Now I'me pretty much crazy to know about it! I bought a smartphone as a camera! (Sorry to bother you)

I don't know what else to say here. I look forward to learning and sharing.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Kate, welcome to the forum from Hampshire! Many of us use smartphones as well as Pentaxes (and other brands) so don't apologise. We look forward to seeing your photos.

My daughter-in-law just got back from Disneyland, she left her DSLR home and just to her smart phone. The images simply blew me away. Of the images she posted, not one could have been as good taken with a DSLR.

Hi, Kate. Another welcome from Australia. Don't fight the addiction. There are plenty of people here who will feed it. We will have you off that smart phone very quickly.

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you! I absolutely love the iPhone Xs. The weight, the handling, the fact that it has 12-megapixel wide-angle and telephoto lenses, f/1.8 wide-angle aperture, f/2.4 telephoto aperture, Dual optical image stabilization, 4K video recording and so one...

And thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! with photography, I find there's always something new to learn!

Welcome, Kate!

This is (generally) a fun and pretty supportive place. Looking forward to your contributions to the community.

Your enthusiasm is commendable. This is, however (in case you haven't noticed) a Pentax forum.
Just sayin'
