Kypfer's suggestion is very good; dig through the manual. I did that a while back with both my K1ii and K5iis and it kind of re-inspired me a little.

I'm in a dry spell as well, but I've not been feeling well lately and very depressed, so getting out of the house can sometimes be an insurmountable challenge. But I do plan on going to a nature reserve with my neighbor on Friday and doing some wildflower photography. Sometimes it takes a bit of a kick in the rear to get going with things like this lately. But once I do, I don't regret it. I love the stillness it brings.

There's a couple of museums and a rose garden nearby that I plan to visit in the near future too, so plenty of photo subjects there.

Now, if I could just get out that door...

Looking through your profile, you've posted some really excellent photos in the past with your K-3II, so I'm sure you'll get great results with your K-3III when you eventually start using it.

One of the things I've realised over the years is that, whenever I've lost interest in any particular thing for a period of time, it was because subconsciously I felt that I'd hit a plateau and wasn't improving anymore. So I would go through a sort of fallow period when I had no interest in doing that thing at all. Sometimes I never went back to it, for example with drawing and painting, but with photography I've always gone back to it in the end.

And here's the thing: when I went back to it, I always discovered that I'd got better at it without even trying. Without even consciously doing it, throughout that period of downtime I'd been reassessing what I wanted from the craft, deciding which old habits I needed to lose and which new approaches might work for me.

So hopefully, when the urge to use that K-3III finally hits you, you'll discover that what you've actually been going through is a period of personal growth.:)

think about the 'why' when you bought it - think about the many reasons you decided that you needed the next camera, what it was going to do for you.....

or sell it, pocket the money, and chalk it up to experience....

Have a look on Flickr at one of the many groups. That often gets me inspired to at least get out.

I see two K-3 III groups but neither is very inspiring to be honest. I often find "I shoot film" to be the most inspiring.

Arise from thy posterior, pick up thy camera, and go outside. Spring is almost upon us, with photo opportunities galore you have never seen before. Just spend a half-hour in your local park, by your local river, or even in your garden. You should be able to find something worth photographing - you have the choice of landscape, wildlife, nature, macro, or even people if your fancy takes you that way. Don't forget, you regret the things you didn't do far more than those that you did.

Take the pressure off. Don't want to use the camera? Don't. It's no big deal. Decide that, for this month, you'll put it aside and not think about it. Go for walks, read a book, garden, collect stamps, watch TV, yell at politicians on the internet (actually, don't do this one), or whatever else you might enjoy. And, at the end of the month, if you don't feel like picking up the camera again, then… don't. It's not an avocado. It's not going to suddenly go bad. And its resale value isn't likely to drop if it sits unused for a while. You have my permission to not feel the need to produce or perform the role of being a photographer if you don't want to.

Try reading the Operating Manual ... you'll find the K-3iii has so many wonderful features you'll be dying to get out and play with them ;)
ISO 1,600,000 *!* wtf *!*! yes, 1.6 million ... fit a fast lens ... black cat in the coal-hole at midnight ;)
OK, the colours might be a little noisy, but it can make for a great grainy monochrome image!
I suppose it'll depend on what you're used to as to how impressive the K-3iii is ... coming from a KP I was mostly after the improved a/f, and I wasn't disappointed, especially with updated firmware.
Anything much earlier and you're into a whole new ball-game - try it - be surprised ;)
