I’ve got a new camera!

After waiting for a long time for Pentax to bring out a good camera for those K-mount lenses I’ve got, I’ve taken the plunge with a K10D.
First shots taken on a cloudy, breezy day – so not ideal for the Hawthorn May Blossom or great contrast. However, I’m very pleased with it so far.
I was in Nottinghamshire yesterday and everywhere the Hawthorn was in blossom, it’s just started to come out here.

although we do have a good showing of Primroses on these woody banks.

These shots were taken using a Sigma 28-105mm f2.8 lens, which although a couple of years old, somewhat to my surprise works with the auto-focus of the Pentax. I really wasn’t expecting it after my ancient rusty Program A.
In my travels over the last couple of days, I’ve seen Red-Tailed Kites, a Great Crested Grebe and my first Swift of the year.
