Thank you all for your help. I have learned a few things from all of you already. As soon as the weather clears up I will try to get some pics.
Thanks again.

Wow! Thanks for this information. I didn't realize that I couldn't get close to flowers etc. What lens would be a good choice if I want to take closeups of flowers?

Hi, I am brand new to this forum and also brand new to DSLR. I have a Pentax kx. I have taken some wonderful pictures. I have the DAL 55 -300 lens.
The problem I have been having right from the beginning however is, I have trouble with the focus on this lens when I try to get a close up. It just whirs and whirs and doesn't focus at all. (I have been doing some reading and understand this to be "hunting"o If I try to press the shutter button it won't work. I am fine when it is at a distance from the object but when I try to get close. Forget it.
I am new to all this so please be gentle with me. What am I doing wrong?????
Thanks:confused:
