Overcast day here, light drizzle most of the day.
Just picked up the very inexpensive Pentax DA 50mm 1.8 to begin my “glass” collection. Only other lens atm is the kit 18-135.
Educating myself on DoF, the rose came out kinda nice, I didn’t even see the water drops when I took the pic. Original image RAW, pp with Luminar3, Luminar “Look” Super Sharp 100%
Just thought I’d share, comments appreciated.

Again, thanks! I’m really liking this forum.
In answer, I right away banned myself from using AUTO.
My initial focus, pun intended, has been depth of field. When not engaged in dof experiments I’ve been working in P mode. My intent is to gain at least an understanding of each mode then move on to the next. Subject to review of course.
I’ve also elected to use Raw+ for the time being.
I like this pic of a ladybug, it’s in focus. No effort at composition, just playing with dof.

Nice summation Papa-Joe. Parallels my conclusions precisely. As a result of all the responses I’ve decided to:
Start shooting! Amazon man/lady where are you??
Then:
1. Pick up a good quality UV filter, for lens protection reasons since I tend to use my toys hard
2. Order a spare battery, probably a Watson from B&H, they seem popular here
3. Already ordered/received 2 each PNY 64 gig cards, they are so inexpensive now!
4. Research bag options, the smaller the better
5. Research tripod options for in shop photography of cabinetry projects, CNC and 3D print time lapse.
6. Research flash options, used.
7. Continue to peruse these forums
Thanks all!
