LCD Screen Protectors
Just received my ExpertShield screen protectors from the US. They are everything the website says they are and are very easy to fit. They are practically invisible when in place and as polished and shiny as the actual screens themselves. The pack includes one for the LCD screen on the back and one f...

My wedding diary
It concerned me quite a bit as I was concious of the noise and the lens/body motor noise also. I have mentioned this in another thread as I cant understand why pentax dont try to make the shutter/damper or whatever its called quieter. I think if I get the DA 16-50 thats solve one problem but might m...

Well, all went accordinging to p...

SOLD: Pentax K10d + Sandisk 2gb = 5 months old ± 900 shots
Thank you Rob and Peter, I'm glad you enjoyed my website. I'm sure I'll be able to get back to travelling and image hunting but it probably won't hapen for another couple of years (making plans for another baby... :) ). I guess it doesn't make sense to keep the K10d until then - nowadays camer...

Auto-Focus Newbie
Hello, As I've said before, I never really used AF because I prefered my old manual lenses so I need to learn how to use it. I've just read the manual that explains the difference between AUTO - SEL - CENTRE. I don't really see the difference between the three. As long as you find your focus...

I only ever use centre spot focus. It avoids any confusion about which part of the scene is being used for focussing and hence, any disappointment when the camera decides to choose a point that is not where you intended/expected.

Buttons Galore on K10D
I warned you I'd have a million questions. ^.^ I understand that the front dial is to change the speed and the back dial for aperture. Is it possible to custom them so they would be reversed? For some reason, it makes more sense to me to change the aperture setting in front and vice versa. ...

Long exposure using crossed polarizers [img]
Curious about the sparkly highlights from the wet stones, though. How did you have the polarisers oriented? Thanks Chris, I can't really say how they were oriented. I had to concentrate on getting the exposure long enough and still see what was in the frame. It was a matter of framing, adjust th...

Dan, just for you I will do the requested test and we shall see.... You might be amazed, or alternatively I might have to hang my head in shame and retreat back to my darkroom. As soon as I can I'll post something, but it's likely to be a few days. 8)
