This old house actually caught my eye on the way to take the airport pics. Its been designated as a city park and a historical marker in the city I live in.

I tried a little night photography.I got some shots of the Portland international airport. It was too cold to stick around any longer to nail the right shutter speed with the planes taking off, so I bailed after missing a couple.

Two more Photos from the K-30 This is with my f 50 1.7 just to give an example of the sharpness this Camera is capable of. I should have stoped down in the first photo to get a little sharper on the Right eye but but very sharp on the left.

At 100% crop the 5D mark III shows better sharpness but I believe that to be much more about the lens then the camera because I have been able to achieve that kind of sharpness with my f 50 1.7 prime, (again a relatively inexpensive lens) I would love to get my hands on a DA*50-135 for comparison.

This is another example of how I believe the K-30 stacks up against a 5D markIII. This is by no means a technical comparison just an example of everyday walk around style shooting. My brother in law is a fantastic photographer, I would put him in the the semipro category, He has shot several paid weddings and just really has a great eye for it, videography as well. After looking closely at these photos just proved to me its more about being behind the camera then looking at whats inside it. K-30 Same Sigma zoom as above, ISO 200, Canon I believe was a little higher ISO @ 670, unknown zoom lens no flash, no pp. for either. I thought this was a good comparison because it is the same subject matter at about the same zoom.

Hi all, after having camera envy over the new K-3 I started pouring over my recent photos when I decided to do some side by side comparisons to my brother in laws 5D mark III. I relize that this is just one example but I thought It might be relevant to anyone who might doubt Pentax's viability against the two big players, My brother in law was using a relatively high end canon zoom lens sorry I cant remember exact model. I was using a relatively inexpensive Sigma APO DG 70-300 zoom(Great lens by the way). At any rate our settings where unplanned but were very simular both shooting at iso 200 no flash. I was very impressed with my K-30 side by side with his 5D especially considering he has probably at least four if not 5Xs more invested into what we were shooting with.Neither shots have any PP done. Higher ISO shots looked very good as well from my side by sides in Lightroom.

Yes, Pentax is old school, with a great mix of modern technology. Apparently Nikon has picked up on its appeal.

I was just bored and wanted to take a cool photo, this is what I came up with. I wish I would have got the dust off the fender.
