studio back ground
VInyl is good because you can wipe it clean so, initially the cost is higher than paper but it lasts longer. I have only seen people use white, I think black vinyl would be problematic Ken

studio back ground
please explain why would black vinyl be problematic James Because at certain angles it will reflect light and that will interefer with the exposure. Well, that is my understanding at least but there might be another one or the more technically correct one. Sorry Ken if I jumped in the middle I...

Hunting for the right photo
Looking at your gallery entries, there's nothing wrong with your "eye". I think you're very selective, as am I. Sometimes though I'll take a "nothing" shot & will be surprised what I can make out of it when back at home, so I think I need to set the trigger finger loose a little more.

differentiating between holiday snaps and photos
either it is a photo trip or family. if family gear get pared down, and it seems when the focus (pun intended) is on the kids, the photos will suffer... our family vacation snaps are really not much better than anybody else's! Terry Fox Memorial, Thunder Bay Ontario

differentiating between holiday snaps and photos
I now take hundreds of Photographs and bin most of them I often wonder how many of our "prints" would have been binned had we not paid hard cash for them, instead we hoard hundreds of out of focus poorly composed snaps that we'll probably never look at again:oops: I really must go through my fami...

differentiating between holiday snaps and photos
I really must go through my familly albums and be ruthless:shock: I tried that. But kept getting comments from the mrs.."You can't bin that" and " I like that" Even with my out of focus digital ones from my last holiday. Anything that had a blob which resembled one of the kids has to be kept :rol...

Even with my out of focus digital ones from my last holiday. Anything that had a blob which resembled one of the kids has to be kept :roll: At the end of each day, I have a quick whizz through the shots I've taken that day and lose any that I don't want to keep. The real duffers don't get as far as...

differentiating between holiday snaps and photos
I have a other routine. During holidays my wife and I are visiting interesting places(either landscapes or cityscapes) This scouting is done between 11.00 am until 16.00 pm. While together I'll take my camera phone to record quick snaps and make notes of the time, the best light is there. Next mo...

Re-editing others' pictures
When I've modded in the past, I put the image on a hosting site (used to use PBase) with a link back to the original post and credit. Then I'd provide a link to that page (so you saw the image + credits + link). I normally use common sense - if the poster is asking for C&C and it is apparent they...

I have faith in the Pentax Repair Service!!!
I'm a happy bunny. Just got my DA*50-135 back today, and it's perfect. All working fine again once more. The Pentax repair guys were very swift to send me an estimation, which I posted back with a cheque on Monday (4 days ago!!!), and today it's back fully repaired. I'm VERY impressed. ...

Avatars, Camera Bags & Crossing Paths
Problem with Hats is the peak! I have to put mine on back to front to look in the viewfinder. Maybe a small PU badge on the back.:D or a hat with the peak at the back. Embroidered badge, small and tastfull sounds a good idea. Range of applications.

Pentax User Badge Poll
Very slightly off topic but I guess we are all effectively advertising a certain camera manufacturer with that 'thing' hanging around our necks :wink: Unless we have made the decision to tape over the manufacturer's name :) Likewise I'm happy to support Pentax User because on the whole I think ...

Pentax bellow and Minolta bellows focal length
Totally correct, these lenses have no focusing mounts of their own so the bellows is used to focus.

Pentax bellow and Minolta bellows focal length
I normally focus when doing macro by moving the camera anyway so still a useful lens even if you don't have bellows.

Shocked, stunned and more than a little angry!
Really sorry to hear your story Ted. I've had similar experiences on a few occasions over the years and it does knock you back a bit. Especially when you're pottering about having a great time with the family. These people are invariably ignorant idiots. The sort you see rolling about in the roa...
