Greetings from Philadelphia

Hello to all the members, I just joined the forums the other day. My name is Gary. I live in Philadelphia. I am a retired museum worker who decided to make the step to Dslr cameras. Just purchased a refurbished Pentax K-70, still in transit. I look forward to learn new things from your experiences. I enjoy shooting street scenes, travel, architecture, the countryside and park nature. So mostly outdoor shooting. Up until now it’s been either my phone or a point and shoot. So besides having some insight in composition. Most other aspects of DSLR photography will be new to me. Looking so forward to begin! Cheers!

Hello Gary, and welcome to Pentax Forums from Canada.

As others have mentioned in the other thread, the K-70 is a terrific camera, and I think you'll really enjoy shooting outdoor themes with it. I think you said that you'll be using the DA 18-135mm lens; it will certainly cover a lot of subjects.

Regrettably, I have not had an opportunity to visit the great city of Philadelphia properly -- I've only made airline connections coming from somewhere else. Oh, and watching the occasional Flyers game on TV. Maybe some day.

Hope you have time to participate in various discussions here.

- Craig

Hi Gary Kopp,

Welcome to the forum, from what I've read you have taken an important step, I hope you are comfortable, ask questions if you have doubts, comment if you want, post photos and so on.

Ciao Mario

Welcome, Gary, from another Pennsylvanian. I'm not near Philly, but up closer to Erie. Others said it, post photos, ask questions and make comments as necessary.
