Hello folks,
Just joined up, hoping to find good advice and constructive critique, when I figure out how to post images :)

I use a K500, Sigma 100 -300mm, Pentax 55-300mm, Sigma 17-90mm, Kenco 1.4x converter, 3 x ext tubes.

My preferences are macro, birding, texture/shape/colour, some landscape, geological formations.......

Re-learning and revising old knowledge in the new digital environment......

Please be gentle.... ;wave:

Hello and welcome to the forum :thumb:
Looking forward to seeing some of your photos.
Most of us use external hosting sites such as flickr, (there are others) and just copy and paste the code into your post.

Welcome aboard John from another John :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

My K500 is now in the hands of my daughter - it's a very capable DSLR, and you have a good little lens set-up - just be careful you don't contract LBA from this site (Lens Buying Addiction) :cheers:

a variety of my stuff can be found here......

Thank you all for your welcome.
I see that I have to use a facility such as flickr, to upload images, so will have to get a grip on that one.
As for LBA.........I think I have the early onset of that......my lens collection is more or less what I inherited from a 35mm Pentax that became 'redundant' so I stuck with Pentax and what I could afford and justify at the time....hence the K500, it may be basic but it works for me.
I have been seriously investigating the Sigma 50-500mm, but new it is too pricey for me and like hens teeth s/hand.......so 300mm + 1.4x teleconverter is my max at the moment.......apart from my birding scope with a smartphone mounted up......
Will try to post up some pics when I get the hang of flickr...... :)
