Since my englisch isnt really the best and german is my native language, please dont judge, haha.



Circular Polariser, i mean i never heard of it, but do you got a link that i can imagine which is good ?



I mean i got this lenses: Pentax 18-55 II, SMC PENTAX-DFA Macro 1:2.8 100mm WR, SMC PENTAX-DA 1:2.8 200mm ED (IF) SDM, SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 77mm LIMITED, SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 31mm AL LIMITED
I mean the only thing that makes me a bit unsatisfied is that i need constantly changing my lenses for good photos there thats why i am asking is there some lenses which people here can prefere for uses like Zoo's or maybe Aqua Zoo.



I got 2 Kameras once the K-1 and the K-3 III and the lenses i mentioned above the quote, but just in case, here again.
Pentax 18-55 II, SMC PENTAX-DFA Macro 1:2.8 100mm WR, SMC PENTAX-DA 1:2.8 200mm ED (IF) SDM, SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 77mm LIMITED, SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 31mm AL LIMITED

My Budget is about 300 Euro momentarily. Hmm since i live in Vienna there are not much Animals outside except bugs maybe, but i use for bugs macro lense for that. But i got my problems with theyre movement sometimes if they move that makes my picture blury.



Thanks for the Info.



Thanks for detail answer. I already have the pentax Fa 100mm Macros lens. I will try it with that, thanks.



Danke für die Antwort. Natürlich versuche ich Aktuell einiges zu lernen, leider habe ich für die Kamera gar kein Instructions blatt, daher ist meine kleine Divise, learning by doing. Hatte auch keine Anleitung für die Kamera bisher. Ich konnte mich aktuell nur an Youtube als Quelle halten und mich ein wenig Generell informieren wie das ganze funktioniert. Natürlich strebe ich an besser zu werden und möchte auch dies weiterverfolgen. Daher wende ich mich auch teils an die Community, weil mir die Erfahrung sehr Wichtig ist und man hört ja auch teilweise auch neue dinge.

(eng translation):
Thanks for the reply. Of course I'm trying to learn a lot at the moment, unfortunately I don't have any instructions sheet for the camera, so my little motto is, learning by doing. I didn't have any instructions for the camera yet. At the moment I was only able to stick to YouTube as a source and get a little general information about how the whole thing works. Of course I strive to get better and would like to pursue this further. That's why I turn partly to the community because the experience is very important to me and you sometimes hear/read new things.



I will send after my work the Pictures that i made this weekend :) then you can see with what kind of problems i am xD struggling.

Thanks I was looking for groups in vienna, but a bit hard to find. I know i am impatient so instead doing babysteps i motivate myself to make something challenging. But no worry looking anyway for a group that i can learn and enhance my skills.



---------- Post added 08-12-23 at 01:20 AM ----------

I mean i got 2 SD cards one for RAW and one for JPG. The SD card for RAW habe 512 GB and the JPG 128 GB. I mean it should do the writing speed is "alright". I made a lot series pictures on my K-3 III
it went well. But i think i will buy some new one for better writing speed anyway. I want to invest a bit for the future and SD cards are anyway necessary.

Such a wonderful picture. I wish it would be a bit easier, haha. Photographing is a lot of fun, and there is much to learn. Don't worry, I always use the JPG + RAW function; it's the best way if I would like to edit the RAW file. I mean, I mean, I could make it anyway later to JPG again. It's not like it's not possible. I got a new carbon tripod; it's very good and very steady, so it's resistant to wind, and I could even put it on a rock, and it doesn't move an inch. So in total, I will work with it, but at first xD I will need to use my two hands to make photos because tomorrow is the day called convention. So I will be there and shoot a lot of pictures.

People have told me I need a better/faster SD card, but I am not sure if it is necessary as a beginner, so I would like to know what you think about it.



---------- Post added 08-11-23 at 04:38 PM ----------

Thank you. I mean, I don't understand much about cameras; it's the same as cars, but I know it will take a lot of time and research to find the peak that I am looking for. Most of the time, I pass a lot of beautiful places, and my eye catches an astonishing feeling that tells me that moment is like gold—priceless. Sure, many people told me it's nice to have a K-1, but xD as a beginner, this is a bit overkill. I mean, I bought it from a friend for a decent price, because I want to make more out of it. I will want to see where my limit in the future will be.

Likewise, I've used the 100*mm lens on my K3-III, and it was awesome. I love macro, and I love this feeling of seeing something small that gets big and very detailed. I've put a link from my Google Drive macro picture here, so anyone who clicks that can see it. I just need to say it's a.PEF file, and it's the RAW footage, it's 28.7 MB. The link is below.

I've bought a book. I mean, it's in German; I don't know if that's a big deal, but he explains it very understandably, and I would say it is pretty good for me.

Thanks for the reply. Sure, there is still a long way to go, and I could do better, but I didn't edit the picture. I thought at first I would try to see if there could be more made of this picture, and thank you for the advice, it's awesome. With the K-1, I will be going next week to the same place. I got a very good tripod. I got it as a gift since I got the camera, and he didn't need it anymore. So I hope this will fix some of my habits. Let's see how this goes.



---------- Post added 08-11-23 at 03:59 PM ----------

Thanks for the reply, but this one is an older picture. I got a new camera, the K-1, with four additional lenses. So I think it would not be necessary to invest another 500 Euro I hope.

Hi ho

I live in Vienna, and it is my FAVORITE spot there because I love the city and car lights if they are glowing. It's really a magnificent sight and a beautiful place to chill and drink a beer. This shot was from all the samples that I did the best. My internal screaming that I had that day was very problematic because doing photos at night can be very tricky and problematic :eek:. I've played very much with the ISO to understand a bit of what it does as a beginner, and that was the best moment to understand. I've played very much with the shutter time. For my luck, I had a photo stand with me, which gave me the opportunity to see the beauty of a picture. But I am still unsatisfied, so if there is some advice, I will gladly accept it for the future.

Thanks.

Thank you all for the awesome comments. Like you all mentioned, it's not really the beginner-friendliest camera. I've got the Pentax K-3, but it's a bit easier to use that than the K-1. The K-1 got a bunch of extras that are confusing in many ways, and most of the YouTube clips had a very good explanation that motivates me to work more with the K-1.

This weekend is a little event that I will be attending, and I will go there to take some pictures and try to show the results here in a few days. I know I am a little bit impatient because I am still a beginner, but on the other side, it gives me more power to explore and motivation to do something astonishing.

Most of the pictures I took were macro photos, so I would have a lot of trouble *laugh* with portrait and street pictures. So I will do my best to make people's jaws drop as a photographer to capture the beautiful moments.

So I have started today to play with the 77*mm and 31*mm to get a hang of it. If there are more guides, it would be a pleasure to get them inside my brain, haha.

I wanted to ask: is some light blitzing necessary if I want to take some pictures in the dark ?

Hello,

I've bought from a friend of mine his equipment for a new hobby that I have developed in the past few months. It's very interesting, and I am still confused because there is so much that I need to know about it.

So I thought I'd ask the forum, because it's better to ask the pros before doing something that my brain can't explain.

The thing is, I've got a Pentax K-1 with 4 camera lenses.

He explained a lot, but he isn't really the best to explain something because he drifts fast away from the subject, and I am just standing there hearing a monologue of some complicated words that my brain can't even understand.

My first question is: How good is the camera? I mean, I saw some pictures, and they were astonishing, but what do I need to know about the camera ?

The second: I have four lenses, but I really don't know what lens is for what purpose. So, can somebody explain to me what I could do with those lenses?
SMC PENTAX-DFA Macro 1:2.8 100*mm WR → I mean, it says macro, and I think it's really understandable, haha.
SMC PENTAX-DA 1:2.8 200*mm ED (IF) SDM
SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 77 mm LIMITED
SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.8 31 mm AL LIMITED

If you took some pictures with one of the lenses, it would be nice to see how the experts are doing with them.
Sorry for my English; I have done my best, but I am a native language speaker. Communicating face-to-face is, for me, easier in English than writing.
Thank you!
