Photography is Fun
Next time capture a DALEK as they are fun as well. Shame I live the other side of the pond as I like DR WHO since Katy and Joh back in the early 1970's from our TVO (Television of Ontario) under the Davis as PM of Ontario back then.

The dangers of digital photography
I have just been looking at submissions for next months BMJ (British Medical Journal) and came across a German paper about digital camera issues. This is my best attempt at an English translation / extract of a couple of issues. Dr F Unwirklichmann suggests As photons hit the sensor array s...

Guess what I've been doing?
Hi aj, the colour of the water in the original image.. gorgeous.. utterly gorgeous. Go back with a chainsaw, and take down the tree on the right, and centre the composition. The key for me though is the colour of the water. I may have mentioned that before.. :D Cheers Liam

First ever studio shoot, early results
In No 1, the eyes/head don't seem to be in focus, whereas the middle of the back is sharp. Have the eyes been photo shopped? They don't look natural in any of the images.

Action photography is hard!
You have the K10D yes. Has it got the mode switch that the *istD series has? If so, there's a mode with a running man, that is basically for continuous AF while tracking a subject. Ah, no.. it's got the AF-C or AF-S options on the switch hasn't it. Switch to AF-C (continuous). I could of course...

Printer Recommendations
A friend runs exclusively Epson printers in his TV/Video studio, so I had a word with him. In turn, he recommended I spoke to the guy at a local business machines shop, who is a very keen digital photographer. This I did. He had the R800 on the shelf, but said that, although he also used one at h...

how do you profile your cameras' lcd?
I simply snap a jpeg, (of a greycard with greyscale and color chart)import it into my computer, display it full screen on my already profiled monitor, and adjust my brightness in the tool set up menu to match as closely as possible. then I shoot the same image in raw and process it to my standar...

Got lost for a minute
Just got an email saying that the forum had been updated so clicked on the link and found an alien world. Turns out it was PentaxForums, not PentaxUser. :roll: Don't do that to me. :x Anyway, finally realised my mistake and came home. Good to be back :lol:

chromatic aberration
Not sure about chromatic abberation, that first sentence is definetely a grammatic abberation. :-) I can't see anything other than a slight loss of sharpness in the fine detail. When did you last clean your monitor? Does the affect show up in print? Was the lens clean? In this weather, moving ...

chromatic aberration
Looks either slightly out of focus, or it might be motion blur. Were you using a tripod? If you did, was SR on or off?

Macro and "Trap Focus"
This idea occurred to me last week when I was taking hand held macros. I expect many of the very clever people here have already thought of this, but I'll post it anyway in case I'm not the only one who's never thought of it before. First, the problem. SR is great, it gives we Pentaxians somethin...

Macro and "Trap Focus"
I use AF-C mode most of the time for wildlife images and combine it with continuous shooting mode. Seems to work fine. If you turn off AF when shutter button pressed half way you can fire the shutter regardless of focus point.

Macro and "Trap Focus"
I was under the impression that SR was not suitable for macro work? have I misread something somewhere or has Mongoose just proven it wrong? As for the "trap" focus, I used this method quite often with my old K mount stuff on my istD and my film bodies, and not just for macro. There is...

Macro and "Trap Focus"
Hmm, I wonder why trap focus only works with K and KA lenses - I'd have thought that F or FA (and presumably DA) lenses would effectively become KAs when set to MF! I've just tried my DL with F 50mm 1.7, set to manual and the shutter fires regardless of focus position - so there's a definate reas...

Macro and "Trap Focus"
BTW Mongoose, 'trap focus' is the name used by Yashica (and probably others) but the correct terminology for us Pentaxians is 'Snap-in focus', please get it right as some of us are a little sensitive about such things :D really? I could have sworn my MZ-7 manual called it Trap focus, still it's been...

Macro and "Trap Focus"
This only works in the standard setup. I have moved the AF actuation to the ok button on the back. This way the shutter allways fires when you depress the shutter release button.
