Hi! I am new to digital SLR photography and for my first camera decided to purchase the Pentax K-x. I am so happy with my decision! The K-x is a perfect beginners camera, and is actually very fully featured. I have been busy taking pictures every day, check them out here.
I also decided that I wanted to give back to the Pentax community, so I started a blog where I am posting what I learn about the camera, tips, samples, techniques, etc. Check it out here! Anyways, I love the community, and look forward to exploring this site and using its forums. Thanks. Michael

Its great to welcome another Pentaxuser from across the pond, especially such an active Pentax supporter. I hope the rapidly growing number of K-x users check out your site!

Hi and welcome to the forum,
I had a quick look at some of your shots, they look OK to me.

Welcome to the fora. I recognise that shot from Dumbo, I was there in January. I'm across the river at the moment but will be heading back across the pond tomorrow.

You're a beginner? Those shots in your portfolio are terrific. Can't wait till you become an advanced photographer. I just loved your Cold Day On Wall Street.
