Could be one of the various nightshade species. Nice finding.

Could be, but I really have no idea. I found it in a wooded area near Dallas, TX. Thanks!

Just received my $ 11.00 K110D with kit lens from Goodwill . I had to wait till the rain stopped . I saw a post on Pentaxians United on facebook about a six-mp club so I took a few quick photos . They are straight out of the camera with no editing except for cropping . The flowers are with the Pentax D-FA 100mm f2.8 and the Grand baby blanket was with the sigma 18-35 f1.8

Thank you a lot. The 50mm 1.4 is the only choice I have for walk around shooting at night without a tripot. Much fun to do.

Thanks everyone . This was harder than I thought . I wanted to get photos without editing except for cropping so what you see is no adjustments at all in lighting sharpness color adjustment ,none of that they are straight out of the camera . I put the image tone setting in the camera to the one with a little color going around it, I left the cameras settings saturation, sharpness and contrast in the middle, if there are better in camera setting let me know. I noticed a slight pinkish color on some of the rose peddles and I just couldn't find a setting as far as aperture and shutter speed that would get rid of that color I had the iso on 200 . . If anyone know how to get rid of that let me know . I just go the camera and waited till the rain stopped and went out and too the photos . I don't know if you can zoom in on the photos or not but if you can It is really sharp zoomed way in . I was surprised at the sharpness the 6 mp captured . It took me a while to figure out the iso settings but I think on mine it stops at 200 . I couldn't find a lower setting . I mainly shoot manual or TAv mode but this one doesn't have that mode I guess I got a little spoiled . I was playing around with the camera in manual mode and even with the cameras AF / MF set in MF it was still trying to focus . I can't figure out what setting to use to stop it from trying to focus . I thought once the camera was set in the MF switch setting it would stop trying to focus . It took me a while but I finely figures out that if the camera is set to MF before you turn on the camera it won't try to focus and you can switch from MF to AF while the camera is still it will auto focus but if you switch it from AF to MF while the camera is still on it won't stop the auto focus from trying to focus ,but if you turn the camera off and switch it to MF and turn it back on it stops the auto focus and the MF works as it should . That was very annoying . Is that the way it is on all k110D's ? If you have one try it and let me know . Switch it to AF and turn the camera on then press the shutter button half way to let it focus then switch it to MF and take it out of focus and see if the auto focus is trying to focus . If it does let me know so I know its just not my camera . Its no big deal now that I know what to do I'm just wondering if its just my camera or all k110d's . All the photos in this club are so good Its hard to believe they are taken with a 6mp camera . It really shows for every day use and your not going to blow a print up to the size of a wall a 6 mp is all you need to get great photos .

All I can tell is how my K-100D behaves, but as far as I know the only difference to the K-110D is in the shake reduction.
There is no need with my camera to turn it off to switch between af and mf or vice versa. Good you found that workaround.

It is kinda fun learning a new camera ... Isn't it .. even if you already have used others ...
I feel like sometimes I’m building a house from the roof down ... instead of starting with digging the foundation ...

Ever feel like that ?
