I have a confusing issue. When I mount my tele-extender and and 18mm-270mm lens together and put on my camera then set to manual mode and MF on both lens and camera my camera will not let me set the aperture. Even shooting at very slow 1/60 or 1/250 all my pictures are coming out dark and almost unable to see. What is going on?

I formatted my 64gb sd card on my computer and neither my K-3 nor K-5 will recognize the card. I t won't even let me format it in the camera. What do I do? Throw it away?

To avoid all of the semantics and supposed technicalities I simply say I stop it down

Hi again happy people. Now this is a photo from the Reined Working Cow Horse event at Jackpot Ranch on Friday. This one I reworked and placed the rider, whom I do not know, into a different setting. I think it works and the action is still there. I have fun doing this and hope you all enjoy this stuff I do............
Love..............Dougie N.

Hello. Nothing radically critical her just a couple of thoughts. I have several lenses for my K-3 and K-5 such as 288mm-90mm, 18mm-270mm and some others but I have found that in actuality my kit lenses do perform quite well. My Pentax 18mm-55mm takes very nice sharp photos and my Pentax 50mm-200mm does the same. Oh I suppose a person can buy super-duper expensive lenses that cost through the roof and perform magnificently and far surpass my kit lenses but I think my do an Ok job. another thing and I don't know how many of you do this but I like to use exposure compensation with three shots, above-correct- and over exposed. It gives me a choice of light and dark. When I used to shoot my 35mm Nikon I always shot by stopping down one f-stop to darken my shots as I found that right on or correct exposure was to bright and seemingly over exposed for me. Just some thoughts..............Dougie

Hello everyone. I went to a gymkhana at Jackpot Ranch for young people this last Saturday with some new and wonderful friends, Dale and Jeri Spude, to watch their grandchildren compete in the events. It was a great time and the kids were totally having fun. It is nice to see good wholesome activities for young people sharing with Mom and Dad and their families. This is a photo I took of a horse just hanging out with its owner/rider and it seemed like it wanted to do something because there were horses all around and he felt left out. A bit of a departure from my normal stuff but I thought you might like it.

Here is a little something from the "burbs" of Cornville, Arizona. At the end of Tissaw Road where Oak Creek meets the Verde. If you are wondering, no I did not sit in a blind for two weeks to get this shot or the picture of the coyote. I thought the coyote was a nice touch and I always like a subject in my work and one of our locals and native critter seemed like a good fella. We do not always see these guys but we can hear them so they are around and indeed local. I plan on continuing my documenting our lovely area in paint and photos so at Least I can remember and hopefully all of us. I hope you like this and have a wonderful Sunday in our little slice of Arizona.

Not intended to be hurtful or demeaning. I just am not a complainer. I have an old friend who complained all the time. I challenged her to go one day without complaining. I saw her at the end of the next day and asked her if she did it. She said yes and that she had the best day she had ever had. And with regard to all the lenses I really don't think I would want to toss all of those into the trunk of my car when going on a short local shooting tour. Oh yes and by the way I am 78 and walk with a walking stick but still carry both my K-3 and K-5. I apologize for being so harsh and will not do it again. Have a lovely Pentaxian day....................D

Something that gets to me is people talking about carrying two cameras and the weight. What a bunch of wusses. Soldiers in the field fighting and tryin to stay alive carry at least 50 pounds on their back and a 12 pound rifle and trying to stay alive and there are guys saying two cameras at 6 pounds total is a heavy load!!

I do not like changing lenses in the field so take two cameras. My k-3 and k-5 and each has a different lens. My k-3 has the 18-270 and I like it for the in-field framing and convenience. My k-5 I will put my 28-90 on and it is a good lens. I have a prime 135 and that is great. I used to have a Nikkormat with a 135mm and that is the only lens I had. I got so used to using it that I never even thought about other lenses. Miss that old 35.............

Couple of riders near my house and towards the Verde River here in the Verde Valley, Arizona. Nice morning to head into the desert and happen to come along these two people enjoying the morning and nice 55 degree weather........It is interesting how cleaning my sensor and lens, front and back, how much sharper and clearer and more vibrant my photos are. Golly gosh, who would have guessed

Another in my, sort of, horsey - cowboy - western series. First of the new year......................Love .........Dougie
Title: "They're All In"
As a note. I was cleaning my sensor with a swab and it wasn't working very well so wrapped a lens cleaning moist thing around the swab and it cleaned my sensor like a dream and I have no streaks or spots. I am sure somebody out there is going to scream at me or something like that but it worked..........
