Geoff Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Nice pictures. The first too would appear that your maybe going after a HDR looking picture? i like the church interior, 10mm lens? what camera do you shoot with? "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."

It's different but fun to do. Puts the world in a different light, no pun intended...haha. Yes, the church was shot with a fisheye, 10mm. As far as my camera, just read my signature line and it will tell you everything! Glad you liked them.

That's true, there's not a whole lot of users in the US, but if you look at the world wide market it's a more popular brand. They have started to make some moves in the DSLR market in the last few years (K10, K20, and this starting tomorrow, the K7, which is rumored to be akin to the D300, if not better). Moreover, Pentax makes, hands down, some of the best prime lenses out there. I've heard this from both Cannon and Nikon users. My 50mm, 1.4 prime (which my dad purchased in 1974) might be the sharpest lens in my bag. Give them a serious look if you're new to dslrs.

I've went from a Nikon D40 to a Canon 40D now and so far I'm liking the Canon side of things but I'm still exploring options. I may try to check out the Pentax sometime when I'm looking at stuff.
