My wife and daughter visited family in London and the surrounding area last March. They had not been back for 20 years. Apart from the initial shock on arriving at Heathrow (They wondered if they had got on the wrong aircraft) they then had to listen to my wifes brother (London Metro Cop and sis...

Fact is, London is full of thugs. Fact is, one is 6 times more likely to be mugged in the UK than in the USA. Fact is, home burglary rate in the UK is far higher than the USA. Reason, break into a US home and you more than likely will be shot dead. Break into a UK home and maybe get invit...

Oh, I'm still going... not scared off at all. :) I will try to post pictures when I get back, and I'll be careful like I should. We are going to be in a hotel north of Hyde park at the Edgmore tube station. (Hilton Metropole) Hopefully this neighborhood won't be too bad. We are plann...

Fact is, London is full of thugs. If all Hispanic and Black gangs evaporated, our gun death rate would drop dramatically. hotshots4u2c you sound naive and ignorant and this is no place for your comments. If you have issues with gun crime stop the guns from being made in the first place. Last ...

Or have i been blackballed :wink: Nothing like that at all Clarky. It's just Nature's way of telling you to do something else with your life. This little known feature usually kicks in when a user surpasses the 4 posts per day average and you are waaaay overdue. Get outside and take some picture...

As near as your wife and I can tell, of the top 10 most prolific posters you easily have top prize for that statistic and are actually more than double George's modest amount. :P Yeah, pipe down, Clarky, and take some more bug pics. The modest G You can't compare George and my stats, He has b...

correcting white balance in raw: loss of quality?
So, is there a limit in the corrections of the white balance we can make without losing some quality? Well, yes, at least in extreme circumstances. If the colour temperature of the ambient light is extreme then this can cause issues. For example, if the light is pure red, then you'll have big proble...

How do you organise your photos?
Mine is totally a software solution. a typical wedding, might have 1200 images, and 8 hours of hi def video from up to six cameras to sort through. finished products include a slide show at the event, thank you cards at the event, prints, books, dvd and web. can you imagine doing that manually? ev...

Discussion: Weekly Competition 20 "My Day"
Ok, I'm not at all commenting on the photos or the judging. I'm not even saying it shouldn't have been the way it was, since it's all in the absolute discretion of the judge each week, which is one of the things that makes it fun and varied. However, I'd make this observation, further to my co...

Discussion: Weekly Competition 20 "My Day"
Just have fun. I'm sure that was John's intention way back when he launched competition #1. If you want serious competitions there are plenty of those on the 'net - and most of them have prizes. EPZ is a good place to start.

Photographing In Extreme Cold - Pentax Optio S3
Keep the camera as warm as possible whilst outdoors, probablt in a pocket until you want to use it. Cold and digital cameras don't mix very well and they quote their useable range only as low as zero degrees C. When you come back into the warmth the best method is to keep it in a sealed plastic b...

Photographing In Extreme Cold - Pentax Optio S3
Thank you for your advice guys. I will take a trip to town later to see if i can get any of these batteries on order and get some zip ties for when we go back inside. We are staying in the cold really - and the camera has a metal body so I can't imagine it lasting too long - I might be able to ke...

Wacom Tablets & Pens
I would highly recommend the Wacom Intuos 3 – I am still using my original Intuos 9x12 bought probably more than 5 years ago (so old it is a serial interface one from the pre-USB days) it is still working flawlessly and still supported by the latest Wacom drivers. There are not many PC peripherals y...

in camera hdr
my first serious attempt at using the k10's multiple exposure feature. 3 exposures with auto exposure. it was quite windy with relatively long exposure speeds. i think the vibrations over 3 exposures added to the blurred, out of focus look. mind you, I didn't realise i had the aperture wide ...

Dan, you are probably bang-on there. I did a quick test in my garden this morning. First a "reference photo" a single shot of the scene, pattern metering, shot raw Next the raw multiple exposure image, just converted to JPG, no additional processing Mult...

Aperture to the rescue! (photo)
While I can't show the finished products (without model releases), here is a sample of a test shot (done while setting up) from todays shoot. by using aperture, I was able to create a work flow to shoot santa pictures at a venue. We were able to shoot, import, select the best from each set, over...
