Thanks.....no metering, pure guess work, the pk-nikon adaptor doesnt let u use the meter, had to guess at shutter speed and leave the lens wide open as its a pentax lens on a nikon

It really isn't hard at all Most of the images in my gallery were done that way. Now that I have a D300, I can meter with older manual focus lenses, but still find myself shooting entirely in manual mode.

Thank you for your honest opinion Adriana... yes the color is bright, but looking at it i think its too bright, its not a flower its a garden weed and i agree not very appealing lol, i might have another go and shoot from the top as you suggested, its the depth of field is one thing im not happy about. See what another day shoot brings...Thank you for your honestly, thats what i like.
