Playing Around With The Pentax K200D
A couple of weeks ago did my bit to help ease the credit crunch by put a good deal of cash into retail spending. I bought myself a Pentax K200D digital SLR camera. It's the first professional camera I've ever owned, and while everybody and their mother told me to get a frakking Canon or Nikon, this one -- quirks, warts and all -- is the one I wanted (also there was a rumour going around that the model was discontinued, and indeed it took me a week to track it down in a store).
I've spent the past couple of weeks testing it out. With no real SLR experience behind me I haven't half a clue as to what I'm doing. The days have also been brown and grey, which doesn't fill me with enthusiasm to take pictures. Here's a bunch of decent ones I've taken so far (out of hundreds of lousy ones, heh).

I dig the fourth from the bottom, the architecture shot. I could have used that while working on the Ephemera project, lots of good line.
The great thing about an SLR is the near-instant shutter response. That particular shot was taken from a moving car without the aid of a viewfinder. Very lucky it all worked out.
