B&W Again again
a bit 'soft' at F1.4 And a crazy shallow depth of field where you breath and the focus point changes :P Shooting at f2.4 is beautiful - especially lovely for portraiture. Soft, creamy bokeh - it's absolutely gorgeous! Sorry to fuel the LBA... but it has a very different rendering to the f1.7....

advice on fee for christmas card image
Not sure how the tax laws work over there, but what some at our camera club have done is this : Charge for the image, donate the money back to the charity. Get a tax receipt. Everybody wins - they get the image for free, and you not only get some tax relief, but also the "feel good" ...

advice on fee for christmas card image
We have Gift Aid over here, and it is a major benefit to charities. So here, the real benefits of the option Classvino mentioned are: a) You can Gift Aid your donation back to the charity, and they then get the income tax you've paid on that amount, at the basic rate (22%). So you donate £10, ...

Sounds like alot of good advice! getting a logo or photocredit or copyright notice, (often on the back in small print) is not uncommon, especially if you intend to retain copyright.

Hello Again
Is that a lighthouse in the back behind the rocky outcrop? It is quite odd to freeze the rotors of a helicopter on a photo, makes it look like it is about to fall. Took one yesterday but it was very small so I got rid of it. I've been refining my pictures quite harshly since I got my K10D and ...

Hello Again
Hi Tim, scary.. I was going to post an almost identical shot taken from the battery Bank Holiday Sunday.. but the sensor was too dirty, and the picture wasn't enough of a stunner for me to be bothered cleaning up the image. I'm guessing that was taken Saturday.. the weather was horrible on the S...

Hello Again
Hi Liam, I took the shot on Monday. I'm told the ferries weren't running in the morning, but I had booked a late trip (18:30) and everything was reasonably flat by then. Went on the Red Funnel car ferry, as the biking event event does a deal with the ferry company and the campsite. On the boat...

What Screen resolution are you using?
All other rates are grayed out at that resolution, so no choice there. I sometimes go back to 1024x768 at 75.

Filters
Well, just to make a slight correction... :P I rave about the "Lee Foundation" set. That's the holder. Superbly engineered and well worth the dosh. I couldn't afford, or justify, the Lee filters. So I went with a set of Cokin Z-Pro ND grads (great price from Speedgraphic). I did get ...

Exposure
Display is a Claxan RX174T, 17.4" TFT LCD. Resolution is 1024x768. I could upload an unmodified RAW file to my .mac account. Actually Tyr, just came back in from a walk, and I took several photos, as a test, I over-exposed by 1/3rd all of them. Result is they display lovely on screen the ab...

Desperate advice needed for built in flash shots
I even use my AF360 flashgun when I don't use the flash... I set it so that it doesn't flash but only fires the IR AF pattern so my DS can focus easier. If possible I boost the iso to 400 or 800 to avoid using the flash, if I have to use the flash I put on my omnibounce and overexpose 1,5 stops t...

Desperate advice needed for built in flash shots
Also i think the K10Ds AF in low lighting is not the best around so can anyone offer any suggestions or advice if I do decide to go ahead and have a go ??? The K10D is as good as I've seen ;) You can help it along a LOT by doing the following: 1) Switch to "Centre only AF" 2) Point the...

Anniversary bouquet for critique
I'm not sure why you removed it from the bakground, but it's definatly worth your time. looks good. have you considered using a graduated background to create the illusion of depth behind the image? I'd try bringing it from black to medium grey right near the base and back to black. Adding a fau...

Anniversary bouquet for critique
I'd try bringing it from black to medium grey right near the base and back to black. Adding a faux shadow near the base and warping it where the grey turns to black. I don't know how to do this, sadly. Anyway, I've replaced the images; this time I was a bit more careful to not cut out stuff that ...

Getting Tack Sharp Images..
I thought bokeh was the rounding out of highlights in the out of focus background, relating to the number of aperture blades. I can't see much evidence of that in either picture, what should I be looking for?

Enviable kit list
Came across this blog site today - this photographer's list of Pentax kit is enough to make one weep. Not that I'm the envious type mind. My list could easily be fitted onto the back of a postage stamp: Pentax ist DL Pentax DA 16-45mm Pentax SMC A 24/2.8 Pentax SMC A 50/1.4 Sigma 70-3...
