Discussion Weekly Competition #5 - Self Portrait
I'm furious and I want to log a complaint against this hilarious decision of the judge! I will hold back my member fee until an enquiry has investigated the case. I'm convinced that Galoot had insider knowledge and I won't rest until the leak is found. (I could tell you that I just had an anonymous ...

We have a new kitten!
like my old maritial arts instructor once said: "You don't have to be faster than a speeding bullit....just faster than the guy pulling the trigger...". manual focus, f16, (5 or six shots), got one good one, two useable.

Choice of camera bag
Hi all, Have been forced by wife to purchase camera bag for K10d and zoom. Narrowed choice to Tamrac 3571 rucksack type and Lowepro Rezo 180 AW. I like the layout of the Tamrac but would not be trekking/ hiking or even walking if I can take the car!! The Lowepro is more of a "bag"...

Choice of camera bag
This is starting to sound like a Lowepro 200AW Slingshot advertisement. I, too, have one and it's, IMO, the best bag I've used, though admittedly the list isn't terribly long. Tried the AW cover at my kids soccer match last week and it's perfect. You forget it's there until you need it, and it's...

Sharing lenses
Well I am working on the Oh for my K10d. His idea is that I get the K10D and he takes over the *ist DS. But that would mean sharing lenses with him, as we can't afford to duplicate lenses. Do any of you have two Pentaxes that you share with your partner? Do you share lenses? If so does it lead to p...

Image library archive format
The original files are stored unchanged on the hard drive and on a back up CD. Any manipulated files are saved in TIFF format.

Image library archive format
As soon as you save a file in JPEG you are compressing it and introducing JPEG artifacts. I suggest that as soon as the original JPEG has been opened and changed in any way it should be saved thereon in a lossless format. This could be psd if the work is "in progress" or preferably TIFF...

My other half is quite disappointed that she has not been shooting RAW all along as there are some shots which she'd like to manipulate but really can't. Especially with the dynamic range of the S20Pro's RAW capture, she took some pictures yesterday where the sky was completely white on screen. Redu...

I save all my original images on my computer HD in their original captured format. Most are PEF but some are JPEG. I delete the junk and then back-up all to DVD as “originals”. In the near future I am going to add an external HD for backups as well. I then import the originals to Lightroom and ca...

Lightroom VS Aperture
the lighttable is familiar to many "Old school" pros that layed out thier slides on a light table for sorting, viewing an making selections... The light table in aperture is meant to emulate that type of workflow, and to the best I've been able to discern, works especially well with multi...

Lightroom VS Aperture
the lighttable is familiar to many "Old school" pros that layed out thier slides on a light table for sorting, viewing an making selections... I see... I never used a light table in that way when I was doing traditional photography (but then again I only shot 35mm). I would just use it som...

Flower at night
Yes, that's really nice. Having the ability to put the lightsource where you want it does help! I have an idea why your night pictures seem to come out better: It's the natural time to take photos for most of us (i.e. UK, Europe). So I guess Pentax is adjusting their cameras to this important marke...

A reply (sort of) to G's ICBM
Again many thanks for taking the time to look a post very constructive replies. I agree that the pose is not that great, the excercise with this one was only to gauge the post processing compaired to the effort in the original post last week, it is the only other suitable image I have of the same...

A reply (sort of) to G's ICBM
For reference to ICBM, you have to refer back to last weeks post... I'm none the wiser. Scratches head and begins to question life, the universe, and everything.

Catching Up
Well back from the Lake District and, more specifically, the Maryport Blues Festival. Took the new toy (macbook) but didn't get much chance to do anything other than sort through the photos and convert a few to JPG for my host. Van Morrison was his grumpy self and the security staff tried to sto...

if you own an ipod get an adaptor to back your images to it...if you always wanted an ipod now you have an excuse. I did this - It works, pictures actually look quite good - small but good - but be prepared to wait - transfer is brutally slow (especially noticeable if shooting RAW or RAW+JPG), and m...

Just to say thank you to everyone who responded - it was very helpful and I took the advice about using my Ipod to back up the images. I hadn't realised this was possible but I bought a £19 Ipod Camera Connector and have successfully backed up a test batch. Perfect!
