@YeOldePentaxian: Amazing colour gradients!
@Simon K: I still wait for my cormorant! & LOL (the rhino)

K100D (it would use some sensor cleaning) + Sigma Hyperzoom

Seems to be a more recent phenomenon then, glinda, as Adrian Belew's album from 1982 is still titled "Lone Rhino". You can find it and listen to on youtube btw if you like that kind of music.

I know , I’m a little obtuse at times... rhinos are an American phenomenon.... but best to be apolitical , here..

@paulh: Those Green leaves, Red blossoms and Blue water make a nice test for your *ist D Bayer filter.

Boats are photogenic.

Here's a shot from under a railway bridge, taken during my yesterday's walk blessed with an unexpected sunlight. An overcast day had been forecasted. Not so far from that teepee. K100D + Sigma Hyperzoom again.

k100d super, m 40/ 2.8

Hello everybody

As of tonight, I am a happy member of the 6 megapixels club... after buying a Pentax K100d Super with its kit lens (18-55mm) and its UV filter, an Opteka 0.20x Fisheye lens and a camera case, all in mint condition (except maybe the Opteka which have a -very- slight mark in the middle of the rear lens -- to be tested). The body has less than 5500 shutter triggers (yes, really!!!) according to ShutterCounter.com ... all for 40 euros. The body is really in a mint/new condition. No mark, no scratch, no anything! I cannot beleive I made such a deal

.
This K100d Super will make the perfect companion of my SMC-F 28mm f/2.8 and its brother SMC-F 50mm f/1.7.

The reason I bought this old camera is to improve my photography skills. With such low resolution, there is no room for cropping and it will force me to work more on the composition. But I also wanted to own a CCD sensor camera again (my first camera was a K200d). I own a K-5 and a Kp but I want to make this K100 Super my main tool for the coming months (at least when the weather allows it!)

I hope to have the time to try it out tomorrow ant to post my first picture here.

See you.

François

Welcome and congrats for the really sweet deal! My motives for using these dinosaurs are quite similar than yours, the challenge makes me slow down and focus on the photographic process since i can´t fix everything on post

Waiting for those shots!
