New Camera Photos - 9th-14th November 2004
After ages of thinking about it, the urge to get a digital SLR was overwhelming, so the procurement of a Pentax *ist D was called for. And what a camera - the compacts that have provided pix for the last few years are great for portable convenience, but the depth-of-field (or more to the point the deliberate lack of) that an SLR can do, plus decent long lenses, is something that has been sorely missed. Anyhoo, these are just a few random photos from a few days of practice shots, most of which were taken on my old PK manual lenses (with which the camera can't do metering) so the exposure is a bit hit-and-miss, but the joy of narrow depth-of-field is unbounded, hence the obsession with that "out-of-focus" background that only SLRs can do (although bear in mind that these images have all been hugely reduced in size and quality for the purposes of sticking on nosher.net)
