Thank you, Leumas. The K10D never disappoints with respect to colour.
Here's one that's a little less "colourful;" again, with the SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/2.8 Macro. Pale Rose by Robert Span, on Flickr

What!? There are people who don't fancy the DA 35mm f/2.4? Go figure....I bought one for my daughter last year and she now uses it almost exclusively. I don't have many "modern" lenses, but it's my favourite AF lens, bar none.

Agreed. It's one lens that never disappoints.

Cheers, ChristianRock! Since I shoot CCD almost exclusively, it is gratifying to finally be inducted into the club. Methinks a celebratory drink is in order! ---------- Post added 23rd Jul 2018 at 14:37 ---------- Same flower/camera/lens combo, slightly different vantage point: IMGP1205 01 by Robert Span, on Flickr

Thank you kindly, Dave. We just received some much-needed rain today and the flower gardens were looking particularly lush.

Thanks, gents, for your kind comments. Makes me wonder why I waited so long to visit the air show again. I really should get out more! :)

Attended an airshow at Canadian Forces Base Borden this past Saturday. Hadn't been there since I was a kid and this was my first attempt at photographing airplanes and the like. The weather was perfect--clear blue skies and bright sunshine but that sun did make it tricky at times. I can honestly say this is the first time I have lamented having only 10 megapixels to work with. Even with the DAL 55-300 at the long end, it was a struggle for resolution on many of the pictures. Still, all told, it was a fun day and I'm relatively pleased with most of the pictures taken.

That first one looks so tranquil, Paul. Is this close to where you live? You've inspired me. One of these days, I should take out my F35-70 for a spin; I got it with a second-hand K10D camera body but I've never given it a fair work-out yet.
