Hi all,
I've been an occasional lurker here since Hamish announced his new forum over on AoS. Yes, another audiophool has arrived to bug the hell out of you asking newbie questions.
I've snapped away on point & shoots for years, thinking one day I'll get myself a nice DSLR & learn how to take decent images. Well, I've finally gone & done it! Bought a DSLR that is, not learnt how to take decent images that's why I'm here.
I'm now the proud owner of a Pentax K-5 bought with 18-55mm kit lens & then quickly aquired a 50-200mm & a 35mm prime 2nd hand for not to much money. They're both Pentax's DA lens so entry level stuff but all a bit better than I am at the moment! I've been out & about loads since buying the kit & am loving the exercise & fresh air as well as the learning. TBH most of my shots so far have been test type stuff to try & get my head around sunny16 rule, apertures, shutter speed & ISO etc.
Seems a nice place with a whole load of experiance to be tapped into! Hope your ready for the newbie Q's!!
