K10d Mulitple Exposure Mode
try three shots, on a tripod, first two in focus third out of focus....(trees,flowers, landscapes etc). try nine shots of a rock, or tree or other stationary object where you got moving water/grass/clouds filling most of the frame. try three shots with a red green then blue filter on each sho...

K10d Mulitple Exposure Mode
Some nice shots there, I especially like the second and fourth ones! :D I guess the trick with this sort of photography is patience, waiting for the moment when your subject acts in a photogenic manner. If it were me I'd set the exposure values and focus manually in advance and keep watching -...

Pentax k10 bundled software what do ya think?
Hi i just wondered what people thought of the bundled software with a k10 .I personally think its great but youve got to persevere with it and it looks pretty poor not a patch on elements 6 or cs3.But i like the workflow from raw to tiff to jpeg and the fact you can make 16bit .tiffs at about 57meg ...

Auto release
got a manual focus lens and a locking release cable? snap in focus (see your manual) may fit the bill. a headphone jack, and any number of switches/relays or cheap battery powered motion detectors can be made to trip the shutter. you might find a video camera and software (such as Evo Cam on t...

K20D is in the house
Just picked up my K20D after work. Popped the battery onto the charger I bought to use in the car during the holiday and it was full when I came home. First thing on the list was eating dinner and after that I upgraded the firmware to version 1.01. The first thing you notice is the size and ...

K20D is in the house
Thanks. If I do head for Urk I shall probably combine it with visiting some old stamping grounds of mine around the area. We lived just outside Blokzijl for a while and it's always good to go back. Maybe give the Ist Ds a last outing in the Weerribben or something. But as I said I shall hang on a bi...

K20D is in the house
I haven't got any pictures worth showing yet, but the initial impression is stunning. The level of detail captured is really great as is the dynamic range which is quite a bit higher as well compared to my DS. I am glad however that my first venture in Digital SLR's was the DS, with a "s...

K20d review on dpreview.
The detail in the ISO3200 and 6400 shots is very good, it makes me want to upgrade as well. However, I think it would be best to leave a one product gap and see what the K30 or even K3 offer in the future. I left a product gap as well before upgrading from my DS to the K20D. If I allready had a K1...

What have I done?
It must be nearly two years since I changed over to Nikon, I bought a D200 in place of my Pentax IstDs. It is after this much time I am starting to wonder if this was the wrong thing to do. I love simplicity above all else. I still have a Pentax film SLR, its a M10 or K10 or something??? This old f...

What have I done?
Maybe I should get a Leica M8? These are probably the closest to what the old film SLR's where. I can't really afford it but maybe it's something to save for. Personally so long as I can change the Aperture, ISO, focus and press a shutter button I am happy. Having a display to see and delete photos...

What have I done?
Sigh. All I want is a nice simple camera. Maybe I will go back to film, there was never a problem with film.

Sigh. All I want is a nice simple camera. Maybe I will go back to film, there was never a problem with film. Ah, the good ol days... wrong iso settings on the dial... hitting the end of roll at decisive moment.... scratches across 35 shots from dust in the camera back... fogging from static disc...

Strap for a K10/K20
I use a strap, but not round my neck, I wear it over one shoulder so when not in use it's safely round in the left side of my back. The OP/Tech Pro straps are well long and comfortable enough to do this. Another idea (not got round to trying this yet though) is a piece of fluffy Velcro stuck to t...

Strap for a K10/K20
yeah that really is the point. find what works for you. In my old job (bouncer), way back when...I used to tie my ties in a double windsor, then cut the tie in the back, and sew on velcro strips. One time (there were a couple) this guy tried to grab me by my tie...by the time he realized I wasn't...

ISO in manual mode
Was taking some photos yesterday with my 300mm K mount in manual mode and when putting them on the computer I noticed a lot of noise. Works out that somehow it had got onto ISO 800. With other modes you can set it to auto and limit the iso but it seems you cannot do that in manual? Also the lens...

Rumours of K2000D
The 645D was 'announced' back in September 2006. It ain't here yet, neither is it likely to be.

Rumours of K2000D
am thinking of upgrading from my finepix s20 pro back to the pentax range. I have several pentax film cameras plus lens. I am looking at the k200 but wonder if I should be looking at the K10 as this seems to have many favourable comments or would the reccommendation be to hang on and see what is...
