Hello to all the members, I just joined the forums the other day. My name is Gary. I live in Philadelphia. I am a retired museum worker who decided to make the step to Dslr cameras. Just purchased a refurbished Pentax K-70, still in transit. I look forward to learn new things from your experiences. I enjoy shooting street scenes, travel, architecture, the countryside and park nature. So mostly outdoor shooting. Up until now it’s been either my phone or a point and shoot. So besides having some insight in composition. Most other aspects of DSLR photography will be new to me. Looking so forward to begin! Cheers!

Some very good advice. I will probably be looking at a travel tripod, since I do t really shoot studio work..thank you so much! ---------- Post added 09-08-20 at 04:50 PM ----------
You are correct, I probably won’t buy a tripod as my first purchase. But I think I would get some use when I get into the countryside and parks. Thank you for the lens tip!

Thank you so much. I thought seeing my point and shoot and phone camera work might give folks where I’m at. Again all the advice today is much appreciated!😊

Thank you all, for such good advice. I am writing this all down and doing internet look ups. As one member asked what kind of photography interests me. I seldom shoot indoors, aside from shooting my cats or a friend. I mostly shoot urban and city streets and interesting architecture and details. I also head out to the country side and shoot nature in assorted settings. No so much wildlife.the lens I’m starting with is the Pentax DA 18-135mm lens,after reading many comments that it’s a good start. My work I post on Instagram as @gar_kopp. Again thank you for such a warm welcome and so much worthwhile advice. I plan to spend a good deal of time learning from these forums.

Hi all, I’m a new almost owner of a Pentax K-70 ( refurbished body and lens from Pentax store in shipping process) I’ve decided to step up from point and shoot. I’m sure this has been asked many times, but any suggestions for making out an accessory list for someone starting out? It would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Gary
