Pardon me for interrupting nice photographs being posted yet again.
Richard and Jack, you guys rock!
I often hear that Pentax users are nice guys. So far I am experiencing that first hand. :).
Nice to know that there are people willingly share their thoughts, even in this advanced thread.
Thank you for your inputs and kind words, they are greatly appreciated (and surely will be practiced).
Regards,
Al

Thanks Richard-olypdd. You are now officially my first PentaxForums teacher. :D.
I didn't use spot metering, but I did use selected focus point (which I intended to be focused on the flower).
I tried to set the shutter speed high enough though..
Yes, it's not a great exposure. I just want to point out that lack of sharpness I got.
Surely there is a lot to learn and more experiments to do to get to know my camera better (it was a bit ambitious purchase.. :p)
But it will help a lot when people with more experience point out my incorrectness like you did. Thanks again for that.
Good to know that you are using the same zoom lens like mine (it means there's more to learn from you.. Yeah!)
Just hoping that my interest and skill in photography will grow more.
Regards,
Al
ps. I don't think there is a focus issue (so far) with my lens. Here's a picture I took a moment after the so-so flower. Any comments?
Not as spectacular as others have posted here though. But the color and contrast of images produced by this camera-lens combination is adequate for my taste.

This thread is something I look as a part of my learning curve.
Please feel free to give any kind of feedback. Many thanks in advance.
So here's the case: I can't seem to have the 'sharpness' in these pictures I took (I shot these in JPEGs ***).
I know it's not a macro lens, but still.. I hope my eyes (and expectations) are okay.. :D
Any thoughts?

Hello!
It's been a few days since I hold my K-5 IIs for the first time.
Here's a picture of our 11 years old Monti. Focus is a little bit off, he's moving around a lot (he's pretty healthy for an old dog :D)
Taken with DA 17-70 f4 (and totally unprocessed - well, exclude resize :p).
