Hello folks. If you couldn't guess my name is Rick. I live in NE Oregon. I have played with photography for a long time. Most of what I have done was with film. Yes and most of that was shot with Pentax camera's. Loved them. But after my wife and I bought her a Canon DSLR (she said we could share) I knew I had to have one. I knew we couldn't share. Anyway for Christmas this year she got me a T-6. I have played with it for a little bit I have been using the one lens it came with and with an adaptor a couple of lenses I had for my old Pentax. In using those I know it is all manual. I don't mind. As my other camera's were manual anyway. I do have an old Canon t50 that was my dads. It's all right just not my favorite. I am hoping to get involved with some of your monthly contests. Most of what I do is wildlife stuff. As long as it is wild I don't really care. Big Deer, Elk, Coyote, Fox, porcupines, ground squirrels, big horn sheep, mountain goats. Birds of prey. I do like to take pictures of abandoned buildings. That is a lot of fun for me. I will get around and post up what I have in terms of lenses. Nothing grand mind you but I do get some pretty good shots. Not pro quality or anything but Nice. I am also into cycling. (I don't look like your usual cyclist but I do ride.) I have been into cars all of my life. The most powerful was my 70 GTO. Should never have let that one go. My 73 Mustang was a pile that needed tons of bodywork. My 71 Maverick Looked cool but only had a 6 cylinder, should have crossed it with my Mustang. My last hot rod was my factory turbocharged 80 Trans Am. One of 5500 documented hardtop ( the big rage then was "T" tops and mine didn't have it.) hood bird delete car. Tons of parts but only drove it for a month. Had it 20 years. Well I have used up way to much space. Told you all way more than I should have. Happy Shooting you all. Rick
Hello Rick, and welcome to the forum. I am/was a Pentax shooter as well. I am looking forward to your input. Just jump in where you want to. Gary
Welcome to the forum Rick, hope you enjoy the T6 There are plenty of us with more than one system so you will find a number of guys that do adapt lenses like you have started.
Thank you folks. Happy to be here. Hopefully be productive. I have high hopes and I expect a lot of myself. Of the hundreds of photo's I have taken I have 2 that I am very very happy with. I have to get them converted digital media. No worries I will be posting things soon enough.
