Hello everyone! My name is Jon and I am a Pentaxian currently living in Greensboro, NC. I have bounced around the Carolinas the past 10 years living in Wilmington, NC, Columbia, SC, and Charleston, SC. I did my undergrad at USC (Go Cocks).

I started using Pentax in 2008 when I bought a refurbished K-10 from Best Buy. I'm currently shooting with a K-5. I consider myself a hobbyist/enthusiast who enjoys shooting aviation, flowers and family (quite a range there).

It would be great to connect with some other Pentaxians nearby and share knowledge and the love of photography!

Hi Jon,

Welcome (back) to NC. Greensboro is a fun city. We're stuck in small town Salisbury, down I-85 from you. Lots to do around the state, from festivals, beach, mountains, waterfalls, state parks, museums, architecture, history, and the like.

Our group tends to be inactive, so don't be put off by a lack of response.

Seth

Seth,

I have passed by Salisbury a few times on the way to/from Charlotte. I have been to the zoo in Asheboro once before but I'd like to go back since I just picked up a new 300mm lens.

Do you have any favorite areas to photograph nearby?

Not much aviation, but the NC Transportation Museum, in Spencer, is a fun photographic stop.

Check out the website for the Transportation Museum; they sometimes have photo events. I missed some in April or May of this year.

The Yadkin river is nice, including the old bridge over it (from beneath).

There are some bike races.

Some county history: Old Stone House, churches, Gold Hill (gold mine), etc.

That's for starters....

Welcome to the group. Nice to see another Pentaxian in the area.
