I thought perhaps the card would cut down the air access to the surfaces. But you may be right. The alcohol treatment would be the same. I forgot to mention that an over 90% alcohol solution should be used. Lower concentrations contain contaminants, as someone on the other forum noted.

I thought I would pass on a couple of tips since I have gained so much from this and the other forum when confronting problems.
After buying a K-X my DS2 languished for several months unused. When I checked it out, I was getting a dead battery and no card indication. Cleaning contacts and new batteries did not help. On this forum I found advice to turn the camera on and off several times in rapid succession. This cleared up the battery problem. I assume there was some oxidation in the switch itself.
I was still getting a no card read. I dipped an SD card in alcohol, shook off some of the liquid and then inserted it twice in the camera. Voila, I was not getting a card read error. I assume there was some oxidation in the slot which I was able to remove. I probably should not have stored the camera with no SD card in it.
I now have my backup camera back and plan to use it on a more regular basis. Hope this helps someone.

Do you have to be shooting jpg's for the HDR to work? Will it work in Raw?

Is the autofocus improved on the k-x over the already improved k2000? All reports are that it is very fast.

This was morning side light. No flash.

The flash illuminated the porch without looking like a flash shot. Good job!

Very nice color and contrast. I especially like the 7th shot-the mix of facial expressions is very nice.

I love the wonderful out of focus background on the heron shot.

I like the way the light is picked up in the interior.

Matthew,
It seems to be green everywhere in Texas just now, a lot of rain as you know. I forget the road, but Buffalo Gap is about 10 miles south of Abilene; the visitor information center there can locate it for you. Thanks for the comment. I did not get a photo of the waterfall.

Very nice! I thought it was funny that I just posted a Texas cactus pear shot. "Texas Spring." The more common bloom here is more yellow. I suspect you have a great variety of pear cactus in Arizona.

Great picture! I love the light on the perfectly focused leaf against the dark background. Did you use a flash?

Hello to all,
I have been taking pictures for about 4 decades, starting with an Argus C3, moving through Exacta and Canon models to Pentax film cameras about 15 years ago. For the last year I have been using a DS2, which I love. Don't see the real need as yet for the new 10d.
A few new images are on this site. I have more pictures on Flickr at:

I look forward to partcipating in the forum.
