Greeting from the highplains of eastern Colorado.
My name is Rob.
I have been lurking around Ugly Hedgehog for at least three years and have learned much more from the posts I read in the daily newsletter than I have learned in all the books I've read on photography. There are some really knowledgeable photographers here.
I have been trying to take pictures for over 25 years when my dad gave me a new Pentax K1000 for Christmas. I purchased several lenses (Pentax 50mm f 2.8, Tamron 135mm f 2.5 and a cheap zoom which II dropped and broke years ago). I hadn't used this camera for nearly 10 years as the cost and lack of places to process film.
I convinced my wife to let me purchase a Pentax K10 for Cristmas 2011. Bought a used one with two lenses (Tamron 28-80 mm zoom f3.5 and a Tamron 70-300 mm zoom w/macro f4). I also use my old Pentax lenses on my DSLR and find they produce much nicer photos than the zooms.
Sorry for rambling on and on.
I am looking forward to learning more here at Ugly Hedgehog.
Feel free to critique the photos I have attached. Just remember I am the Highplains Coyote, but I don't bite......all that hard.

Welcome Rob!
It's good to have another Pentax DSLR user here. I, too still have some film SLR's (Pentax, of course) I have a K10d and love it!
The fireworks shot looks awesome, keep them coming. Do you know about the Pentax Forum, there is a lot of similar good stuff there. Again, Welcome to the hog!
