<p>How Y'all.<br>

<br />Sometimes you make due with the equipment you have.</p>

<p>I was out to try and photograph some late migrants birds. I had a macro with me, a wide angle lens, and the 600mm. But on my hike in For Harrison State Park near Indianapolis I became fascinated by reflections in a small pond. So the 600 switched duties from a bird-chaser to a reflection-catcher.<br>

All taken with a K3 +600mm f5.6 <br>

<p>Hi All,<br>

We spent a week in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia">Cambodia</a> -- came back today and still rummaging through the SD cards for keepers. These 3 photos are from the trip (all using K-50 and Tamron 28-75).</p>

<p>Yes Javier I enjoy your street-photography :)<br /> I'm still processing pictures from my trip to Ireland (and will be for a while at this rate)<br /> .<br /> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/sized_IMGP4285_zps8hsod4dd.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="678" /><br /> <strong>my daughter's front-garden-view</strong><br /> .<br /> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/sized_IMGP3588_zpshujt3dsd.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="678" /><br /> <strong>megalithic standing stone</strong><br /> .<br /> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/sized_IMGP3634001_zpsnerxludx.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="681" /><br /> <strong>droplet suspended by a spider's thread</strong><br /> .</p>

<p>Good stuff!<br>

Here's some of the first snow of the season from last week from my office roof. <br>

K-S2 & 18-135<br>

<a title="IMGP2338-Edit.jpg" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mattbnet/22375321162/in/dateposted-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5728/22375321162_d10b23c1d9_z.jpg" alt="IMGP2338-Edit.jpg" width="640" height="427" /></a><br>

I visited my parents in Michigan over the weekend (plus a couple of days). Color is still hanging on there but is past peak in a lot of places. I used the wireless transfer to my phone a little more it was actually kind of cool. I didn't bring a laptop and it allowed me to post some photos on social media. I shot RAW+ and just grabbed jpegs. It's still kind of klunky in some ways but it works and can be handy.<br>

K-S2 & DA 15<br>

<p>Nice colors, Matt! I'll add some more below. I know what you mean about the wifi transfer, I've used a FluCard with my new K3 and it is a clunky process but nice for immediate sharing via social media.</p>

<p>Speaking of the K3, I love it. At first I had some adjustment to the buttons, and I still don't have everything perfectly fine-tuned, but it is one hell of a camera. Definite step up from a K5 in some way I can't quite articulate.<br>

Javier, good to see you back! Nice slices of LA, as always. Dorus, that water droplet is a remarkable image.</p>

<p>I recently swapped my DA70 for an FA77, and feel it was a good choice for me. I never connected with the former lens, and the latter really sparkles. Here's a candid of my daughter with no PP, just nice light in the cafe.</p><div>00dYfy-559005784.JPG.4d70e2b1722be8330b37c40646954a7c.JPG</div>

<p>I just set up a trade with a guy on PentaxForums to get a 77 for a 70 plus some cash. I like the 70 but I'm intrigued by the 77 and this seems like a good way to get into one without having to flip the 70 first. <br>

Dorus, there may be another one in the for sale section over there. </p>

Love all your captures, but the one of your daughter is money. Print it and hang it !<br>
