More Aussie wildlife, this time on a morning walk up at Anstey's Hill, about 10 mins from my house.
The roo bounced down silently next to me on the track in the scrub.

Over here in the UK it's England that are the biggest sheep fanciers, as of April 2012, there were almost 36 million, we don't have that many up here in Scotland. :D

Since I'm a girl, I'll say that I like the colors and that it's pretty!
Other than that, I'm no help!

ahoyyyy over thereeee!
Good place to start is to learn about the 'golden triad' of exposure.. Exposure 101 - The Golden Triad - Learn Photography. Fast. is one resource. Perhaps the best thing to do is read a little and then attempt what you think you know... trial and error! But, in this case, some well crafted trials (as well as well crafted errors perhaps!) hehe
Also, you may want to set your K-r to shoot in DNG format (RAW) as you can adjust exposure, colors, etc much more largely than if editing a JPG format image. And then the fun is in getting some photo editing software.. RawTherapee Blog RAWTherapee is one.. but there are a bunch of them (some free such as RT) just to get started!
Or, RAW+ if you want DNG *and* JPG format photos taken at the same time (eats SD Card space though but maybe not a bad thing if you are practicing)
Please avoid staying for long periods of time in the rumors+news forums -- lots of grown men acting like even older men in there. :D

I didn't even install the Silky Pix software that came with my Pentax so I am unsure of it's quality.. I'm using Adobe Lightroom here. It has a super RAW processor in it.. almost makes my photos look like I know what I'm doing. ;c )
But for starters something like RAWTherapee would be finetastic imo
The beautiful thing about shooting RAW format is, if you don't get exposure correct, you can account for it and many other things. Perfect for seeing how far you were off and such.. not to mention salvaging some otherwise good photos!

Congrats on getting a good deal! Gotta love that.
I may not have given Silky Pix enough of a chance, but after trying it a couple of times, I ended up removing It. It was frustrating and doesn't do as much as my Lightroom, so I didn't want it taking up space. I've never tried RAWTherapee.
RAW is great. I've nearly forgotten I have JPEG. The only times I've switched back to JPEG since I had my k-x was once for higher burst rate at a soccer game, and once kind of experimenting.
