Taken around midnight at the famous icelake in the south of Iceland. Aurora chasing is the best and only hobby I have. It’s out of this world. The K1 is such a stunning camera for this activity. Love it!

Hey Pentax people, The forum is a great place and I have been using it a lot since i laid my hands on a Pentax. I switched from Canon to Pentax 1,5 years ago. It changed my career (maybe even my life)
Whenever I pick up my good old 5D mkII I feel sorry for her. She has helped me out in so many occasions and everyone always thought she was great. But now I have Her. K1 gives me more love and satisfaction, she's like a dream and when you wake up, she's still there. Waiting to be touched, handled and worked on. People don't look at me anymore. They look at my camera and think nothing of her. They ignore her, they let you do your thing, anonymous. They won't steal her away or want to take her home. They miss out on the greatest thing under 2500 dollar. They don't know, but they think they should buy a Canon and soon they want to buy a Sony. Because their corporate pimps push them with marketing budget, fake reviews and non-users with a following on youtube.
But not my K1. She was not pimped to me. She called me from a dusty shelve in a run down shop somewhere in Holland. Covered in dust waiting to be touched. And as it goes with a first touch, it was spot on. I fell for her. Like a log. 'My life will change' I told my wife, who runs the budgets in our company. She accepted my new love and was allright with the change. There have not been regrets. One could even say that K1 gave me the opportunity to take shots in impossible conditions where the Canon totally refused and still create a stunning image. I was happy.
Until the dust settled. K1 was a clean lady but not able to keep herself up for long. Where MK2 kept herself clean on revival, K1 wasn't able to shake her dirt off. She refused to clean herself resulting into polluted views and dirt over her looks and images. Disappointment sank in, but the love stayed and even grew after I simply forgave her. I decided to help her out cleaning and we never spoke about it. She's still my no.1. Although her taller sister with bigger options is lurking in the distance glaring at me. I hope she won't call out my name. I do not yet want to part from K1 and end up calling out 645....
