I’ve been wanting to do a portrait of our family cat for a few months now, but he’s been less than corporative. My mother came to visit us this weekend and I wanted a portrait of her also, so I was setting up a make-shift studio in the den. As I was setting things up, I noticed our cat Boris had taken a seat on the posing stool. I was able to sneak over to the camera and get 8 images of him before he became his usual camera shy self.

I started photography in the early 80's. My first camera was a Pentax K1000, nothing fancy just a dependable hard working camera. Around 85 I wanted a better camera and it seemed everyone was boosting about the NIkon F1 and Olympus OM1, so I dropped down the bucks for the OM1 and a couple of lens. Though it was a really good camera, I was never comfortable with it. I fumbled around with it and became frustrated trying to use it. The Pentax ME had just came out and I was at the audio/video store on Ramstein AFB and picked it up. Love at first feel. Everything was so easy to use and this camera felt like it was made just for me. The ME was the camera that made me a Pentaxian. Since then, a couple of Super Programs, K100D, K10D and now the K20D. Though I almost shoot only with the digital cameras now, the ME & Super Programs still have that special place in my heart. Nothing coming close to the way feel, they are simply an extension of myself. The only thing that's not Pentax in my arsenal is a couple of Sigma macro lens, a Sigma flash and Vivitar flash.

Just got the K20D and very impressed. I've only shot about 50 images so far but love the camera already. These were shot of a friend after work this evening. No post done, straight from the camera. Auto white balance and auto focus used. Lights was a Sigma EF 530 DG Super flash with gels for the background and an Alien Bees ABR ringflash. CC welcome.
Images are TACH SHARP. A crop of the eye in the above image.
