Nice colours.  Pansies are so common here that I don't think I've ever thought 
about photographing one.

Cheers,
Dave

Great looking specimen, well composed and photographed.
It was a short and late season for them here in Chicago.
Glad to see yours.  Regards,  Bob S.

2014-06-04 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
Thanks, Bob.  I planted these very early this year, and they are still
thriving.  Often, but this stage of spring, they have faded or been
crowded out by the petunias and portulacas I plant between them.

This is actually just a test image of my new (to me) K-5IIS.  So far,
I really like the controls and the mechanics of the camera.  I like
the way the batters over closes firmly and opens easily, unlike my K-r
and *istD.  I also like the button one has to press to change the
camera mode.  With my older cameras, I would often switch modes
inadvertently while gripping the camera to crawl into position or
climb a step ladder to reach the right spot for a macro.

Although I like the feel and operation of the K-5IIS, I am a bit
disappointed.  I spent all that money on another camera, and my photos
still suck.  It must be the lenses.  I guess I just have to by a more
expensive lens.

Dan,
I find a new lens helps my photos not suck.
The 15mm limited I bought gave me several good images,
and it's still giving me opportunities.  :-)
The latest Pentax camera is always an incremental upgrade.

Thanks, David.  I don't spend as much time on them as on my other
flowers, but they have interesting patterns.  One problem is that the
way they grow, there is almost always a dead of faded one right next
to the nicest one, and, unless I want to pull out a lot of the less
attractive blooms, it's hard to get a nice one without a distracting
background.
