It's not purple this time.. :)
Oh well, my venture into mono effects hasn't gone well then.. :cry: :cry: I'll go back to sunsets.. :lol: Cheers Liam If at first you don't succeed............ I have been trying for longer than I can remember - in fact SWMBO says I am very trying - so give it another go. Quite ho...

Another B & W effort
Hi Dan, I'm looking at it back at home now, and I can see a slight blotchiness to it, but nothing compared to the TFT at work. In which case it could be just the compression to 72dpi that's doing it. I have seen some rather stripey sunset shots, where the tones of orange etc seem to emanate in ...

Pet Photography
What pets do you have? The technique will be much the same (focus on the eyes, get down to their level etc. etc) for any pet, but the best lens may vary depending on whether it is a goldfish or a Shire horse...

Gwen, I would expect about 90% dogs but perhaps some horses and cats. Cat's would be difficult to get to stay one spot. The idea is to make a little money. I used to live in a very remote arctic village and when up there I had the opportunity to do various photography projects on the side whi...

Personally, I was thinking along the lines of a larger version of those sticky rat traps. This is all great info, by the way. I've gone back and forth between the K100 or K10. In the end the price difference works out to about double for me for the k10 though and the 100 will do everything I wan...

Ok Folks, I like a good constructive debate so here goes The K100 is a good camera of that there is no doubt but it cannot be compared to the K10D........... Pete We know all that, Pete. We are not comparing cameras, we are debating whether an admitted novice (that's you) with no absolutel...

A very silly simple question
Theres no such thing as a silly question :o I think the default on the ist dslrs is that the picture is given a filename based on how many pictures the camera has taken (up to a certain number, which I think is 10,000 after which the filenames become a little unwieldy). eg on my dl2 'IMGP5502' w...

A very silly simple question
Thanks so far. Mr ist and John.... We have two systems in play. The fog slowly lifts... 1. One - the lCD is telling me how many images are left on the card. 2. two - A consecutive individual number given by the camear to each photograph. If I review the photograph on the back back scre...

SD cards, read/write speeds and mymemory.co.uk
Just wanted to mention a few things i've learnt this week about SD cards & the excellent customer experience I had with mymemory.co.uk. I bought one of their brand 4gb "normal" speed cards, got "memory card error" in the k10d but it worked in the Ist DS. Fairly quick call...

Thanks Adobe
My nice suprise was ruined when their webite didn't display the promised Serial Number! I emailed them back, but haven't had a response. :(

Shopping decisions
I must call into a shop sometime and see what the K10D feels like Take your credit card or cheque book. You will not want to give it back once you've handled it. :D

zipping RAW files
I agree with Mannesty External HDD space is now so cheap that it's possibly the best way to back up files. But remember be it HDD, DVD or CD you can still loose all your pics at any time :cry: HDD's fail, DVD/CD's scratch and become unreadable etc... In a commercial environmemt it is essent...

zipping RAW files
FWIW here's my approach:- I use Photoshop Elements Organiser to catalogue my files (I can also apply all sorts of tags to the files to find them easily again, or sort them by subject etc). Then, periodically, I back them up to dual-layer DVD (8.5 GB) using the "Move Offline" option in ...

zipping RAW files
RAID is fine Matt but as mentioned previously - if you delete the file it will delete it across the full aray :cry: I always keep my files on the server and a copy on a removable drive. I then copy everything I do to that drive and never delete from it. The only drive I delete from is the serv...

zipping RAW files
Long term archive on rw is not reccomended for this reason You may well be 'write' ( :) ) but the OP didn't mention long term archival requirements, and neither did I. I am talking purely about having a second copy (or more) to recover from if/when things go pear-shaped. Long term archive is a co...

Auto extension tubes
Some years ago I bought a Pentax extension tube set - probably for the Super A, at the time. I rather stupidly gave them away with the camera when I sold it and I've been hunting around for a replacement set at a reasonable price recently. There are loads on offer on Ebay but the set I had had...

Auto extension tubes
I got a Kenko set with Pentax AF fitting. They are fully automatic subject to light availability for auto focusing but generally you would manual focus anyway. They work fine with my istD so I presume they would work with my K10 - when I get it in about 6 months time :) . I got mine from new Ware...
