When I first picked up a camera it could take days, agonising days, to discover if any of the photographs you took came out as you wanted. Now you can take a multitude of pictures, of whatever, and then photoshop into the picture you wanted to take. Each shot was important, you had to take care and that is still my philosphy towards capturing a moment, even now. Maybe i'm just old, I never developed any of my old stuff, but I believe in only editing my digital images to a minimal degree. To enhance what I saw not make a new picture. I would prefer to sit there and not take a picture and regret it than take 700 and go, oh that one looks nice! I believe it is not about how many you take, but about the one you take that stands out... I leant a friend my old film camera, after a couple of weeks they complained that they could not afford the processing fees as they had takien so many pictures. My point was lost, the volume wasn't important, it was the content that was important. I'd rather go "Damn, I wish had pushed the button just then, but oh well"
Photographers older than about 7yo will understand......

I have only ever used zoom lenses, mainly for the cost saving, but also to limit the number of lenses I would have to carry round with me. (This did not end up so well as I know have a multitude of zoom lenses, up to a 50-500!) Yes I know this is in many cases a poor substitution for a dedicated fixed length lens. It was just easier to carry one or two lenses and make do. I often wondered why these other lenses were out there and am know beginning to fully understand why. I want to shoot with a depth of field so shallow that only the tip of someones nose is in focus, or that it looks like the background is made of tissue paper! Normally I shoot landscapes, sunsets of the Pacific from SoCal. It would be a great opportunity for me to test my recently acquired K3 and my skills.

Like some of my best shots, taken completely by accident and only once back home did I realise what I had captured.

On my old k-20 when set on sensor cleaning you could feeling something vibrating, on my k-3 nothing happens when I turn it on. Is this right?

Loooong time Pentax user, still have my MZ-5N, then to a K-20D and now a K-3. It's nice not having a Canon or Nikon like everyone else! Currently shooting sunsets off the Southern California coast...
