Putting a couple of the starter threads up a day or so early so they are ready for the Aussies and that side of the world
So here we go have fun everyone (and hopefully the thread a day thing works out for us

Thanks Eddie
I will be putting up with the DA16-45 this month. It's a kit lens I guess, but should produce the results ok.

a damn good kit lens, i think they should have a wr version as the kit for the k5 myself

bumping to the top for the guys in OZ

Well I will kick it off for you Eddie, but with a rather ordinary shot.
Lousy day for photos, and into the sky, well not the go really, blank and bright, no ND filter for this lens, but best I could do.
It will have to be all upwards from here

Here's my shot for the day.

B&W seemed to be the call of the day for this one.
Critique welcome.




Cheers.

I like your magpie Bruce!

Thanks Jack, but to be honest, I am so unhappy with that bird shot, I have decided to put up another I took earlier (after the Magpie). I am sure we all know what it is to have a change of heart.
Trust you don't mind my changing my shot.!.



I really like your B&W shot. That is a really good shot, Jack Great start to the Month.

Nice shot Jack!

Bruce I know how you feel, nothing I took today pleased me at all so have to settle for this crop. I don't really post my pictures in forum threads. Is this too big?



Patrick

No Patrick, that is fine. It best to size them about 800 to 1000 pxls long side I find.

Not a bad shot either, I like it.

So here we go.

This month I come to terms with various focal lengths! Crickey!

Cheers Paddy

Bruce...your second shot's much better...goodonyah mate.

Jack, Good B&W image making me think of what happening today (the Yarra's not that flash either mate!),

And another Paddy...I'm so happy...like me, pitting a humble K-x against you blokes...well done Patrick.

Cheers Paddy

@Bruce, I like your impatiens more, and no, it is perfectly ok to change your photo (my bridge photo is actually mk3)

@Patrick(jp) beautiful shot, the colour and texture is great, and it is sharp and soft all at the same time. How did you do this?

@Patty I like your composition, and the lovely bokeh.

Great start everyone!

Did you see my portait Jack old son from March...do I look like a Patty!

Hmmmmmm..

The only thing I did was use a square crop down from 4288 x 2848 to the size I posted here. The 10-17 Fisheye is very sharp at the center and has a very close focus.

Sorry Paddy.
