Someone should make a large battery grip / vertical release for the
K-30, for those folks who need to be impressed with a huge, "deceptively
professional" looking camera. Then, pair that with a fat lens and a huge
lens hood. Some potential clients would actually be impressed by that. :)

The first shot is wonderful. You have many things coming together to make this
a real keeper. The second shot just doesn't quite make it - especially after
showing us the first one. I think it is partially the straight on shot of the

Thanks, Don!
The near edge of the cabin is on asphalt (UGH). May be slightly seen along the
bottom edge.
Well kept building, fronted by parking stripes, is being served by an asphalt
parking lot.
