My New Year’s resolution was to get in shape.
I chose round.

I’m sure wherever my dad is; he’s looking down on us.
He’s not dead, just very condescending.

Thanks again and what @rogerstg and @bwgv001 have demonstrated is that I need to work more at post processing... well to be honest while I've had a long time passing interest in photography, I've never full committed to the hobby and need to commit more time and effort to all areas:-) I'm now retired and have moved to Anglesey (the small island(s) where the photos were taken).and it is my opportunity to develop myself.
What @rogerstg and @bwgv001 have demonstrated is that certainly in the short term I don't immediately need a new camera or lenses (I do have a few decent older lenses) as my photos are unlikely to get printed and even if they do they won't be large prints.
Regarding processing images I've used Paintshop Pro for as long as I can remember but have been considering changing to Affinity Photo as I don't find Paintshop Pro's Aftershot very intuitive. I can't justify the expenses of Photoshop, at least at not at this time. Any immediate thoughts on this?
Simon

A cool photo, even if not originally intended.
Looks like it could be used for a spooky sci-fi poster:)

Hi
I'm just getting back in to photography and hoping to learn much more now I'm in retirement mode, currently I'm using my old Samsung GX10 but am considering buying a K70.
I see that the K70 has been around since (June?) 2016 and looking at the Pentax DSLR timeline it seems that it has been around a long time now in this age of ever changing technology.
Is the K70 likely to be changed any time soon. After having the GX10 for so long I'd probably be gutted if I bought a new K70 for it to be replaced in a few months time, or even worse could have bought the same camera for half the price as it has been discontinued:lol:
Cheers
Simon

I mistakenly handed my wife a glue stick instead of chap-stick.
She still isn’t talking to me.
