trying out my new lens



I finally got my new lens, M-50/1.7, I have been playing around and learning how to use a manual lens, didn't realize it was so different aside from the fact you have to manually focus. Finally figured out how to set the exposure after doing some research on Pentax forums, which BTW is a great resource if you have a Pentax! Here are a few shots I got that turned out okay, need to practice more, but so far am loving it! My dog wasn't being very cooperative, its amazing a dog can learn to run away when she sees the camera coming out! CC always appreciated and any advice on using this lens.....oh and the first one is one theme, shapes! First time ever on theme!

Love the colors in the first one. LOVE the Doxie picture, we have one also and he either gets his nose up in the camera or runs and hides..

Great job with the new lens. These look exposed well to me. Nice, natural colors too and that's the first easter eggs I've seen so far (puts me in the candy mood.)
