Here are three \u201cKits\u201d I\u2019ve put together to get you started in very specific kinds of photography.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/pxaf360fgz2.jpg\" alt=\"Pentax AF-360FGZ II Dedicated Shoe Mount Zoom Flash\" width=\"439\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/pxaf360fgz2.jpg 439w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/pxaf360fgz2-263x300.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Portrait and fashion photography<\/h4>\n<p>A good portrait lens such as the highly-rated&nbsp;<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/px7718afab.html\">Pentax 77mm f\/1.8 Limited Edition Prime<\/a> is great for portraits as well as for runway or studio fashion photography. For flash, consider a couple of dedicated Wireless flash units such as the powerful <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pxaf360fgz2.html\">Pentax AF-360GZ II<\/a>, which offers wireless TTL flash control. A couple of&nbsp;<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/famsbd.html\">Flashpoint Mini SoftBox diffusers<\/a> will help you get flattering results.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/px1224afd_2.jpg\" alt=\"Pentax SMCP-DA 12-24mm\" width=\"424\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/px1224afd_2.jpg 424w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/px1224afd_2-254x300.jpg 254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Star Trails<\/h4>\n<p>Want to create a long exposure night image that shows star trails? The Pentax K3 is a great choice, thanks to its Interval Composite Mode. This mode lets you stack a number of images in the camera to create a single RAW file that combines all of the exposures. Use any lens that will take in the scene you want; a wide zoom lens such as the&nbsp;<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/px1224afd.html\">Pentax 12-24mm f\/4<\/a> is a great choice if you\u2019re looking for a huge vista. You\u2019ll also need a solid tripod such as the <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fp3pp4cf.html\">3Pod P4CFH<\/a>, available exclusively from Adorama, since exposure time could be an hour or more. No worries about taking up too much room on your memory card because the result will be a single RAW image\u2014which is manageable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/px20028afd.jpg\" alt=\"Pentax DA 200mm\" width=\"284\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/px20028afd.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/px20028afd-170x300.jpg 170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Extreme Sports\/Wildlife<\/h4>\n<p>Thanks to its rugged build, the Pentax K3 is a great wildlife camera because you can take it out in all kinds of weather. For shooting distant creatures, consider a long lens such as the<strong><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/px3004afd.html\"> Pentax DA 300mm f\/4<\/a><\/strong> or&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/px20028afd.html\">Pentax DA 200mm f\/2.8<\/a><\/strong> and a <strong><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/irch14c.html\">1.4x tele extender<\/a><\/strong>. You can crank up the ISO for slower apertures as needed. A monopod such as the&nbsp;<strong><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/bg680b.html\">Manfrotto 680B<\/a><\/strong> is also an important tool here to hold the camera steady while giving you sufficient portability in the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentax K3 is great for portrait and fashion photography, photographing star trails and other astronomy, and photographing wildlife and extreme sports.
