Wow, thanks for the input and discussion.
I had just got the 50mm lens the day before and I'm still learning how to shoot with it. Growing up with AF and now learning MF will be a fun and hopefully rewarding challenge. I don't have any off camera flash and to be truthful I need to learn how to use the on camera flash better to be able to get a natural look.
I think that will be the next thing I start working on in my photography after getting better at using MF.
Thanks again,
Zach

Thanks fg-one,
I think I do like having the wb set correctly and not messing with split-toning. I was trying to warm up the background but lost track of my subject.
I also did a B&W version and I like it little better but I don't think it works for the image of our club.
I'm the youngest member at 36 and we are always trying to appeal to younger demographic.
Thanks again and any other input would be appreciated.

Not new to the forum but I don't post much. I thought some input could help me improve my photography and PP.
This afternoon I took a quick portrait of the President of my Kiwanis club to have on the home page of our website. I just used the backdrop of a projector screen and the light available in the room as it was just done quickly after our meeting.
In Lightroom I made some standard adjustments of sharpness, vibrancy and bumped up the exposure just a bit. Then I changed the split-toning of the highlights to add some warmth to the background and a little post crop vignetting. Last I used Corel PSPx2 to add a quick inter frame to add a little weight to the image on the website. I didn't like the line bisecting the lower body so I took it out of just that area.
This is the website just for some context.

Any impressions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Zach

So I just noticed the new K-5 DSLR.
I have a K-7 and love it. The one thing I have been disappointed in is not being able to do long Bulb exposures of the night sky and stars.
If Pentax has fixed the issue with the K-5 I'd be willing to upgrade but this is a big selling point to me.
Anyone know if this has been fixed?
Also anything else to think of when upgrading my Pentax body?
I have a K-7
-DA 18-250mm
-DA 10-17mm
-Aftermarket remote switch (for long bulb exposures)
Thanks in advance for any advice or information,
Zach
