Congrats, I know what it feels like to see your picture in "print". I have a collection of mags going back "some" while. Kim

re PS CS
If say when you use the burn or dodge or any brush type tool, you set the pixel size of area you want to cover with the tool, sometimes when I place the tool over image no matter how small or large tool is set, instead of say a circle I get just cross hairs, it is very annoying, then for seemingly n...

re PS CS
I've been in a serious creative slump for the past few months and can't shift it One idea is to take just one lens and go walkabout with no pressure and no expectation. Something simple like perhaps the 50mm lens. It helps us to look for subject matter without worrying about photography so much....

Photographing Watches
www.strobist.com had a blog entry on photographing watches a while back. Do a search for "Ming Thein". The guy has some great work. Most done with flash. Some example setups were shown so this might help. The guy apparently has some more elaborate setups for some photos... more so han...

Who'd have a camera without SR these days?
Looks like Melbourn, that is the train station with the 'hexa-dome' roof. Correct!! Melbourne it is. And the long orange building (it really is orange, too) with the dome is indeed Flinders Street Station. You taking a trip along the great ocean road? We did. It was beautiful - there'll ...

Who'd have a camera without SR these days?
There was a really good Thai restaurant, seems it is still there: Lanna Thai 287 Exhibition St, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia I really want to go back but in spring or autumn so it isn't too hot or too cold.

Am I evil?
The one in the foreground is now gone :cry: Well, if you went back and took a picture in the same conditions you wouldn't have the CA caused by it any more :P Chris that odd thick line seems to be present in both images so I'm not sure why it is so strikingly different to the rest of th...

Discussion weekly competition: favourite places
In particular, normally I would expect that pictures submitted are taken for the competition I have once done a shoot just to get a picture for one of the competitions but usually, and I'm certainly not alone, I pick something from my existing shots to fit the theme - in fact looking back through my...

New purchase (Update with picture)
Hi all, Back from Denmark and full of fond memories. My first week with the K10D was a wonderful experience and no......., no envy from the other two ladys in my life :) I think the grip is very useful (big hands) and balances the camera lovely. It was perfect weather and decided to try out auto i...

Silkypix Free Version
I tried the free Silkypix version a while back, but I couldn't get it to start - there was always an error popup. I gave up in the end without seeing what it looked like and purchased Bibble. Revisiting this thread I gave Silkypix another try, it seems I can start the application if I go into th...

Sigma 30mm f1.4
I haven't got any first hand experience but photozone did a thorough test of it mounted to a K10D and the verdict was: The Sigma AF 30mm f/1.4 EX DC is a lens with a mission - to achieve the highest center resolution there is without caring too much about the rest. The border performance of the S...

Stepup filter rings??
I used to use the Hoya Pro filters - which are expensive, ultra thin, and have superb optical properties. But, boy, do they splinter if you drop them! Nearly gouged out the front element on two lenses :roll: (Some of the dangers of having children! LOL!) Since then, I use nothing on the lens, but a...

Your Choice ?
If you could only choose one lens for your camera as a keeper, what would it be ? Not quite sure what you mean by this. If you mean, you have to choose one lens, and only ever have that, then it would be the new Pentax 18-250, without a doubt. To sacrifice (forever) the flexibility of a good f...

K10D Inside Building.
Are you being a little bit slow today? You still haven't said what was wrong with the images. Was it focus, exposure, colour balance? If the last, experiment a bit, and best of all, use a grey card. Although I have to say that, in a building with multiple light sources (especially a mixture ...

K10D Inside Building.
Ouch, my ears...no need to shout, Chris! 8) The question is valid though, what exactly do you mean by totally useless. Out of focus? Wrong colour balance? Noise? Under exposed? Over exposed? We need some clues... I am a little concerned with the notion that you used lots of different sett...

K10D Inside Building.
ChrisA. John. 1. No flash on K10, as I stated I forgot it. 2. Apart from just trying other settings I shot in P mode 90% of the time. 3. Did try User mode. 4. Hard to make a mistake with a readout on top of camera indicating ISO. Plus I was back and forth changing it all the ti...

K10D Inside Building.
why anybody would choose to use it essentially as a P&S camera I think there's a missing word here - 'exclusively'. Using it 'exclusively' in P&S mode would be a waste of its abilities. It has a host of options that you can choose to use - or not. I choose to use it in fully auto mode som...

Fireworks
Tripod, bulb mode, and remote cable release. Focus on distant nearby object or infinity leave auto focus off. I would not use noise reduction mode, as you'll miss a lot of shots waiting for the dark frame to be calculated. I generally use f/8, ISO 100 and about 1 to 2 seconds for shutter speed. ...
