K10D graduated exposure across frame
Sadly it doesn't seen to be just a one off - all the shot that session were the same. I've just looked back at these below I took a month ago with a similar setup. At the time I though the darker left-hand edge was just the way I had lit it (quite liked it at the time), but I don't want this to ...

K10D graduated exposure across frame
It would have to flash after the shutter was partly closed, but the exposure difference would be a sharp edge. Shutters can of course "taper" - slowing down as they reach the end of their travel. They can also bounce back slightly instead of closing properly, but this can easily be tested by usin...

Aircraft photography
I'm not sure a monopod would help much, after a bit of tape measure checking. I seem to be a bit tall for all of them! By the time I'm at the right height I've got my knees partly bent, especially so if I'm trying to look up. This doesn't feel anything like as stable as standing up straight and h...

Aircraft photography
Has anyone had first hand experience with tripods at airshows, or are they just too bulky and slow? Are monopods the way to go? I find on a bright day, even hand holding can result in some blurred results. For fast jets, even a monopod is no real use in my experience. Following them all over the sk...

Colours (again)
Just checked your camera settings and it was indeed set on "daylight" probably it's not a fixed value but you limit the range the AWB works. I've no idea since I never use it. Scary isn't it what you can find out? :wink: Pentax Version: 51.0.0 Pentax Model Group: Group 1 (DSLR series & Vario...

Misadventures!
So here I am, this morning, leaving home for University. As I do pretty often, I take my Kx along with me, with the 16-45 mounted on it, fit snugly in my Crumpler Pretty Bella Half Photo backpack (the name calling IS there for a reason, I assure you :) ) I jump in the bus, and put my bag on the ...

Misadventures!
Well, small update! I had sent the camera for repairs on friday afternoon, they got it on Monday. Got it back all nice and fixed from the post office this morning! Pretty speedy if you ask me! It did cost me about 140 pounds or so for the repairs, but eh, at least it's all fixed now :)

MACRO FOCUSING RAIL
Struggling in my usual way to gain info on focusing rails. The monfrotto would seem the obvious choice to match up with my tripod but cannot source a supply. I have also seen negative comments about ability to use the eye piece with this model. I would like comments and advice please and any offe...

MACRO FOCUSING RAIL
I have the manfrotto 454 as well. Got mine a few years back from CameraWorld - however can't find it on their website anymore. As hefty says, allows precise positioning. I really should use it more often... Andy

MACRO FOCUSING RAIL
Thanks for all your good info. Living on an Island is limiting in that our camera shops, although very good and personal, do not have such a comprehensive range or knowledge of such specialised equipment. I do a lot of close and macro work. Also have the 500 mirror lens and the 400-600 mirror pe...

K10D Bracketing in manual
rather quicker than trying to find an automatic way to do it....:) Well I found a way. When you've EV compensation set on the front e-dial in Av mode you can lock your exposure and turn that E-dial to change your shutter-speed and the back E-dial to change aperture (together with the shutter-speed ...

K20 Display cuts out with Sigma Lens
Thanks for the info Stefan, Dan. Do not use a grip but will check the stray finger idea later today. Failing that guess it`s back to Sigma. Davex

K20D: Shutter lag paradox
I have made a device to trigger the shutter release when a laser beam is interrupted, and encountered a perplexing problem. The accepted value for minimum shutter lag (i.e. in manual focus and exposure) seems to be about 0.09s. Using a switch plugged into the remote shutter release port does n...

LR3 beta 2 and colour balance
Lightroom will adjust the color to match the "As Shot" setting, Daylight in your case and move the sliders accordingly. If you manually set to the same value of Daylight, you really should not see much if any difference in the displayed image. So it sounds like something is awry, but cannot think ...

360 rotating right angle viewfinder
Has anyone come across a decent 360 rotating right angle viewfinder. I've got a K10D with no live preview and getting down to focus on some of my shots is now proving to be a problem now an old back injury has flared up. Thanks

pentax auto bellows K
Thanks K10. A poor reproduction but just enough detail. A question. Can this bellows be used without the twin release cable? Digital cameras do not have cable release possibilities Regards Thoramay. Yes with limitations. The second part of the release is there to stop the lens down just...

pictures seem a little dark on KM
The P-TTL always seems to underexpose a little so that the flash doesn't burn the highlights. With the K10D I also use +0.7 EV to get a better exposure and I know it was the same on the K20D from users here. They have changed the exposure with the K7 but not with the KM I believe, but I aint sure...

Oh silly me I had EV steps on 1/2, now set to 1/3, there are times you feel your taking one step forward and 6 back
