Here's mine. As usual, another year goes by without me being as active as I'd have liked.

This guy was having trouble flying, one of his wings wouldn't straighten. A little sugar water and some time in the sunlight and off it flew!

I haven't really been participating in the giveaway. But I have most of these lenses (albeit in the older pre-HD versions), so I'd feel a bit selfish if I did win. But it's a fun mental exercise; I'd likely go with the 20-40 or the 77 since I don't have those. The 77 would probably get the nod; I have the older pre-HD version of the DA 70, which I'm quite happy with, but there's just something about that lens. The 20-40 is tempting as well, but the situations where I'd use it are mostly covered by the workhorse 16-85.

Definitely a dino! And you're not the only one, I have several. This one, for example:

I'd go with the latest (HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE), focus speed is better. Well worth the small increase compared to the older (non-PLM) versions.

+1 on the 10-17 Fisheye for wider-angle shots; I also find myself using the PLM version of the 55-300 more than the old screwdrive one. Personally, I'd also miss an all-purpose walkaround zoom, either the 18-135 or 16-85, but maybe you can get by with the 18-50 or 20-40 for your shooting. I also enjoy macro (or macro-ish) shooting, so I'd add either the 50mm or 100mm to the mix. But that could just be my LBA talking. :) I'd be pretty happy with what you have, it's a nice collection!

I don't think this was mentioned yet, but if you want more info on darktable I'd recommend Boris' "Editing moments with darktable" playlist on Youtube.

I remember that thread. I don't post much (never did), but still check in several times a week to catch up on the latest here.

I have them organized in folders by date, and then use digiKam for further organization (keyword tagging, geotagging, advanced search, etc.).

I think I've shared this bridge before, but it's still one of my favorite spots. Railroad bridge on a line that's no longer in use (and the right-of-way reclaimed for other purposes on the near side).
