Hi all,
You guys remember that old Pentax Camera we sent on a journey, here.. http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?122968-A-Camera-s-Journey
The camera , an older Pentax Digital SLR. ..Its a *ist DS .. 6 megapixel camera. I would probably send it wiith a 28-80 Autofocus lens. The camera itself is extremely easy to use, but you can still be creative with it. It was one of the first Dslr's that pentax came out with having a release year of 2004! Thats right 2004 and its still takes great pictures. Uses 2 Gb Sd cards (I will provide)
That camera made it back to me this past summer, and sat in the box until today. I was going to just pack it away until we sent it out again on a Journey, but figured I'd mess around with it a bit. Next best thing to new gear that you can't afford is old gear you can!:evilgrin: Same Camera, same old Flash (with the broken doors). Only thing I added was a cheap $10 Off the camera flash remote from ebay, and i piece of aluminum foil to bounce the flash.
The fish are Odessa Barbs, incredibly zippy fish that are a royal Pita to photograph.

Pretty happy with the Results. I took quite a few that were as good or better but the tank is so scratched The pic itself is just not pleasing.
What do you think?
