Pentax K30
I had an old M 50mm lens on my Dad's old ME that still fit and the colours were leagues above the kit lens on the K30, so I got a 28mm, a 135mm and a 35-70mm zoom from the same series.

now make your pictures interesting. There are too many people doing dull 'isn't this sunset nice' photos these days

damn right
any headline that says 'stunning picture of...' is likely to be an average picture of something which is fairly interesting, or they've just used HDR on it or fucked with the curves in photoshop - *yawn* whatever

mr b3th studied photography for six years back in the 70s.
His portraits are stunning. That's one thing I can't do, though - I like to take pictures of 'things'. I don't know if that's to do with innate lack of skill, or just because I haven't learned the right techniques.

photography isn't all innate skill and magic techniques
it's about looking at the world differently, about imagination and artistry and things. Also, practise - I remember you did that photo a day thing and you were getting much better

Portraits are fun
I've got a couple of the missus that I'm pretty happy with. Shallow depth of field, nice lighting etc.

It helps that she's not a pig, of course.

Although I've got a photo of an actual pig that I like better than the portraits of her, to be fair.

I take pictures that I like to take.
People that don't think they're worthy enough can get fucked, frankly. No offence.
