Hello from Virginia, US

I recently traded in my old micro 4/3 kit and replaced it with a new GRiii. I can't wait to use it on an upcoming trip (pandemic permitting).

I'm looking forward to sharing tips with the GR community here. My photography budget is spent for this year (acquiring the GRiii, lens adapter, and conversion lens), but I'm interested in learning more about Pentax DSLRs. Now that I have my easy-to-take-anywhere camera, if I purchase an interchangeable lens camera, I won't need to obsess about size...

I know that pet photos are kind of overdone, but I haven't had a chance to take the GR outside yet. And the dog was right there....

I didn't buy the GR to do portraits, but if even a quick snap looks like this, I think I'm going to be happy. Regular shot is jpeg straight from camera. It looked like it might be a good tintype, so I gave it a shot with the raw file.

Most definitely, I enjoy visiting Richmond, as well as the nearby Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens
