Since the waves have been flat, I took my family to "the Happiest Place on Earth" and shot casual family photos with a variety of lenses...
Rather than shooting brick-walls, or focus charts, I simply put the gear through its paces and if it suits my needs I am happy, if not I either synergize, adapt, or move on.
These are just random samples of the kind of shots that are usable for me in order to preserve the important events that happen in our lives. The one thing that makes Pentax a pleasure to use is the smaller size and compact nature of the equipment. I can see myself in the future taking along simply a K-? with an all new Weather Resistant Kit lens to suit all my shooting needs on a typical fun filled family day, especially for all the Water rides!! Happy Summer!
All images shot with a Pentax K20 and the various lenses listed
