Hello everyone! I'm Britt, obviously new here. About a week ago I got a nice Pentax set up for a pretty good steal. After not having a camera for about a decade so now I'm here to throw myself into the deep end and have a reason to pull out my camera every day. I've been browsing through the photos and everything I've seen so far is awesome! I really hope to get to know you and learn everything I need to with this project.
Welcome!! We need more Pentax owners here!!! Remember it's your project so if you miss a day- so what?? Use the month of days as a motivator prompt, the challenges really help with technique and if you see a shot you like ask the photographer how they did it- they'll certainly tell you. Enjoy
Welcome! I can only echo all the above. Like everything, you put something in and you'll get something out. There are always people willing to share and help out. Enjoy!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I have been doing quite a bit of research on the Pentax cameras and they seem like solid gear. I do wish there were more of us out and about! I'm using a K-7, and while it's an old boy I'm happy with it so far! I got a 50mm 1.4 and 18-250 lens with it third hand for super cheap. The actuation count was way lower than anticipated as well (less than 12k before last week) so I'm a happy camper so far.
Welcome to 365 - I truly knew nothing when I joined here and I learn something every day. The community here makes this my happy place and I learn every single day here.
Jump in and follow people, get involved and you won't believe how much you learn and enjoy :)
You will love this community of photographers. It has been such a most wonderful environment to further my art. I hope you find that too. I have found that by taking shots daily (or at least mostly) I have learned so much.
I can only add Welcome to the above comments, I joined 365 after using Auto Mode only for the last 12 years and within two months I was dipping my toe into Manual Mode. Everyone is so helpful and no-one here is ever unkind, so enjoy your project. It is a great site for learning how to operate your camera, whatever type, and I'm learning something new all the time.
Welcome to 365 Britt! You've come to the right place. Like so many above I started out here on one level with my photography and have since grown so much thanks to this community. You will not have a better support group than the one you find here! You may want to follow @eudora Diane Owens- she is a Pentax user too. Best wishes on this new leg of your photographic journey!
