Where will Pentax be in Two Years Time?
I suspect that eventually we will have cameras with built in 'artificial intelligence' modes, that will effectively refuse to take the shot if it feels that you ain't got it right and will suggest composition, settings required etc....before it will allow the shutter to be released. This, they will ...

Portrait shots with natural light Advice needed please
Hi Pete, :) Don't be afraid to try different angles (looking from above etc) A very useful tip for getting the desired expression, is to have them looking straight at the camera (initially at least) and then get them to lean their head forward or back, whilst holding the gaze. Get your favourite...

Portrait shots with natural light Advice needed please
Peter (Mannesty), I wouldn't say the "all of your problems" disappear with an Expodisc :P You've got another thing to learn to use (and it can be used wrongly) ;) And with mixed and complex lighting it's still often easier to use the reflected method. But yes, the Expodisc is a nice tool...

Portrait shots with natural light Advice needed please
Hi Pete, Portraiture isn't really my thing, but I do agree with others comments, the backgrounds are awful (sorry) :( , could you find a plain wall somewhere and thow it out of focus? I think the exposures about right, IMHO a slight over exposure is more flattering for the ladies, cant commen...

Got my replacement K10D at last !
Got the'call' from Jessops Chelmsford that my replacement K10D was in so I went on my free pensioners' Bus Pass over there ! The manager didn't know anything about it: I told him someone had 'phoned; he went into back office and came out with a Pentax K10D box this time sealed in sellophane, a good ...

Got my replacement K10D at last !
Peter, It's clearly escaped your attention, but we've all (well, almost all) taken the plunge, and bought digital cameras. We've all bought card readers; we've all struggled with the manual; we've all actually taken some pictures. And guess what? We're all still alive. Now go and take s...

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
As well you know! :lol: Just read that back, and thought it sounded like a dig at you - it wasn't, I just know that you're a competent photographer, and didn't really need me to say what I'd just said. Not sure I'm not making it sound worse now though. :? Dan (Smiling - I hate it that gettin...

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
/me hands Dan a ladder and holds his shovel while he climbs out of the hole no worries mate, I'm not the type to take anything on an internet forum that way, I tend to imagine phraises such as "as you well know" being said in a mock scolding voice by default. actually I'm quite flatt...

'Modelscope' to use with a K10D
I have used that equipment, not for architectural use, but it is about 30 years ago. The endoscope is about 12 inches long and is detachable from whatever fittings one uses on either end. As I remember the particular instrument that I used was made by Olympus and fitted to camera via adaptors in t...

K10D sharpness still raging (will it ever be put to bed)
I'm just about to post a technical thread on the subject of sharpening... Low in camera sharpening was on of THE main requests before the *ist-D came out - and Pentax didn't disappoint. I'd rather have control over it all :D The only thing that might be worth changing is the default setting fo...

K10D sharpness still raging (will it ever be put to bed)
LOL Matt good one mate Matt when are you posting this technical thread can’t wait !! One thing I can't understand is why oh why did pentax not see this same issue coming before releasing the K10D if they had same gripes with reviews on the ist ?? It's simple, have the inbuilt settings to suit...

K10D sharpness still raging (will it ever be put to bed)
Why oh why don't pentax listen to the majority not the minority of its customers when it comes to a very important final result. How do you know a majority of Pentax owners are complaining? There are several hundred thousand Pentax DSLRs out there. The "soft-focus" whingers on DPRevi...

K10D sharpness still raging (will it ever be put to bed)
The bottom line is really, if you have taken an 'in focus' image with a K10D and a sharp lens, you can produce sharp results during post-processing. The difference between Pentax kit and 'the rest' is that this sharpening is not automatically over-stated with the in-camera processing. I think tha...

Glass Macro with my Pentax K10D
I found where these images went after using the card reader; there is a new folder created I think. I saw this glass ornament my wife got at a boot sale, balanced it on a chair back by the window and used my 50mm SMC Macro-Takumar screw lens with the screw-bayonet adapter, stopped down to f8, 200 AS...

Glass Macro with my Pentax K10D
Nice! :D I went to Gigrin Farm a few years back, but not digital at the time. :( Must go back. I'm guessing this one was more local to you - just off the M40? Had another go at the flying Hoverfly shot the other day, but haven't got round to processing it yet. Not as good as this one from...

My test results are in (Canon E400 V Pentax K10D)
OK here goes. This is only basic testing remember with KIT lenses 18-55mm. I have tried to pick the best shots both cameras produced under the conditions. TEST 1 We tested both cameras first shooting some flowers outside on a tripod. Apature priority at F5.6 There was no difference that...
