K5, low light--it's not just better ISO

Naw, it was those colored dots the Goodwill Thrift Store uses to mark their sales categories. He said they threw off the white balance -- picky, picky!

Oh, so that's what those spots were...

Wait a minute, he's moved up from renting clothes now?

[Pacerr]

Oh, heck no! You gotta provide everything 'cept the smelly fish yourself.

I even had to paddle 'im around all day in MY canoe til he found someplace to shoot from where he wouldn't get 'is feet wet.  Some guide, huh?

I charge 300 per day for float fishing trips, but I do have special rates for the elderly and physically challenged. Hank convinced me not to guide the mentally challenged.

[Pacerr]

Yep, it took a lot of time and patience and an all-day counseling session, but 'e finally admitted he just couldn't keep up with 'em!

It's sort of a pity too, 'cause he's so good with the fish . . . if it doesn't wiggle when 'e talks to it anyway.

are those pacerr's real knees in that photo,   ron?   

[Ron Kruger]

Almost looks like I photoshopped some melons onto them, doesn't it?

[blackcloudbrew]

No words...

[Pacerr]

Ah, that was just amateurish misuse of a 15mm WA lens.

He was tryin' to make that poor l'il fish look bigger but 'e couldn't get any closer without gettin' his feet wet.

David, I agree with you the that K5 is just excellent. While I can't do it now, I have actually considered buying another K5 body as I usually shoot with multiple cameras and my K20d is just not as good a friend anymore.

That is exactly why I bought a second K5. When stepping up from the K7 to K5 I found it frustrating on some paid shoots, with time at a premium, when I became confused in the heat of the moment as to which camera I was using (the K7 & K5 are ergonomically identical) and ended up taking some shots with the K7 which the K5 could easily handle but the K7 couldn't. Net result : 2 x K5.

I love that otter shot Ron !!
