No Vlieland photos
Just back from my long weekend on Vlieland. It was dry most of the time, though windy - but then it is March, and Vlieland is a patch of sand facing the North Sea. Sadly no photos for you of this lovely island. :( I fell and dislocated my elbow just after getting there on Friday, so have had my ...

For anyone who loves a good rant!
Started to read it, but lost interest. I like taking pictures and if I like the images, or they help my memory of a day out etc then I'm happy. I am not trying to make a living out of it so who's really bothered about my pictures but me. If some one can give me some constructive criticism so much th...

A missed photo opportunity
As I missed the opportunity, I have no photo's to show for it, but . . . . . . we are well used to seeing sparrows, starlings, crows, jackdaws, and a variety of seabirds here in southern spain. We even get to see flamingoes, rollers, bee eaters, and the occasional hoopoe. Today, my wife and I we...

Membership Age Limit
As far as I know it's a standard feature of phpBB forums so there may well be a legal reason for it. I have a feeling that it might need a letter of authorisation from a parent or guardian for an under 13 to register. I'll check and get back to you.

Hello
The Miranda MS-3 used the PK mount for its lenses (It was a rebadged Cosina sold through Dixons), which means any lenses for your Miranda should work on the *istD (though be careful, some non Pentax manual focus PK mount lenses won't go on the later Pentax bodies - so don't try to force it if it won...

What makes a good photographer?
Thats my point, the camera is just a tool, and you have 38 years experience. I've only been shooting for about 6-7 months, and I've been told that some of my stuff is good enough to publish, even though I don't think so yet! Just always gets to me when twerps like this act like total idiots, and ...

What makes a good photographer?
I was shooting a wedding last summer. Nightmarish lighting situation, wealthy clientelle. Had one guest there who was kind enough to tell everyone within earshot, about how much better his pro (Canon) camera and (red banded) pro lenses were than my amature pentax ds2 and canon g5. I smiled and...

What makes a good photographer?
Rightly so....however in this case I was refering more to the landscape photography point of view. Sure, if your lucky enough anything can happen. Having said all this, when it comes to quality photo's you've got to know what you are doing in any case, regardless of the equipment you use. For exampl...

What makes a good photographer?
Plus, no restrictions on their use, full copyright remained with the photog. Those were the days. I stopped covering live gigs when the restrictions started to come in. I don't know how anyone can make a living from it these days with all the competition climbing all over one another and flogging...

slide adaptor for scanner
that isn't one I've heard of. The best reasonably affordable way to scan negs and slides at home is with a dedicated 35mm scanner. The one I always used to recommend was made by Konica Minolta, but I don't think they make them anymore. Nikon and Canon also make very good ones. Other than those th...

Anyone flown BA recently?
Next month we are flying BA to Phoenix. I have heard that they are very strict on hand baggage on BA flights. I'm wondering what to do about a camera bag. At the moment I have a Tamrac Adventure 5 back pack, which in theory meets their size requirements, but when full may not fit into the frame th...

Anyone flown BA recently?
I am down in San Antonio at the moment, it is a very pleasant 25'C and not too much humidity. I have the K10 with me but no way of uploading pictures until I get back home.

Anyone flown BA recently?
Gwyn, I would only expect a query at the BA desk if the clerk had doubts about a bag getting through Security. If it is challenged at Security and won't go in the frame there it won't go in the cabin with you. I always play safe, the last thing I want to do is to have to go back and check a ...

Anyone flown BA recently?
I went on a trip last October to Japan, Oz, Hong Kong and back to UK. Flew BA to Japan and on the return from Hong Kong, Quantas for the other two legs. Being of a pessimistic nature I phone BA before hand and they told me that as long as it was within the size limits and I could lift it into the...

Anyone flown BA recently?
Gywn, flew back from Dallas yesterday on BA and once again there were some rather large bags and cases allowed on board. One guy was actually allowed to take a guitar in a hard case as carry on luggage. Steve

Hello, I'm an amateur photographer and I intend to buy my first dslr. i currently use a fuji s6500 bridge camera. I was thinking about buying the new pentax k20d body and old manual prime lenses (considering that working with manual focus and exposure on quality prime lenses will help me improve my ...

pentax k20d with old manual lenses?
Good modern "standard" zoom lenses to consider include the Pentax 16-45mm, Sigma 17-70mm, and possibly the Tamron 17-50mm. Or even the Pentax 18-55 II. Although this is a relatively cheap lens, it's wonderfully portable and remarkably good for the size. For older lenses, I don't neces...

Any members in...?
This is going to be an extreme long shot, are there any users in Essex / Suffolk with a Sigma 100-300 f4 and 1.4x teleconverter who'd be willing to help out a member in distress?! I've just taken delivery of a Sigma 100-300 and 1.4x teleconverter, the AF works fine when the lens is mounted directly ...
