I like the first two, and of those, I slightly prefer the second. I
don't care much for the profile shot; the background is too busy and

Don't be afraid to shoot the K-x at 6400 iso. For your first tests just shoot
it in jpg to see what you get. That is nice that you can try one.
Certainly one $500 body is way cheaper than a D700 and matching lens.

coincidental, lightning happens faster than human reaction) but the

I agree. The mist works nicely for you here. Great color and light as well. I
might have liked it a bit more if the lower falls were moved to the left in
frame and we saw more of the mist at upper right. Of course, I wasn't there, so
it's just a guess.

I don't dare to say that you "should", Ecke, but it is excellent
reading, at least for my taste.

Seeing what day of the week it is: Maybe a /somewhat/ cheap

Steve,
That's a tough request.
You need an A series lens to get past the green button,
and right there you've spent $100+.
Most of the 100mm macro lenses are quite good,
regardless of make, but few are 'A' type.
You might try extension tubes on a 100mm lens, it's cheap.

I don't know how good that one is but new Cosina 100/3.5 AF macros
come up on eBay quite often. Over here they sell for as low as € 60 at
times. Does anyone know about this lens?

Kiron 105/2.8 (Also sold as a Lester Dine or Vivitar) is probably your
best bet for reasonably cheap and good. The Kiron and Vivitar versions
can be had as A lenses, but not usually for sub-$100. This is a case
where you're going to have to pick cheap or convenient. KA mount
macros are almost never

Long story short - I had ordered a ball head from Hong Kong via eBay for use on
my monopod. Communication problems and shipping delays meant that it didn't get

big differences between older and newer models were. Image quality
is much more subjective and so is AF speed and so on.

Awesome shot; one nit, you may want to clone out that bit of
lightsaber still protruding from the camera =)
Next thing, ask Pentax if they'll give you a 645D for it. My

Eric and Bruce,
I never had much of a problem with the *ist Ds and continuous shooting.
My first experience was with some nesting tree swallows, and
I'd get 6 or 7 shots in a burst before the buffer filled and I had to wait.
