Refocus!?
Looks like bracketed focussing combined with psuedo-video to me. Most definitely not ;) I remember looking at this a while back - it's extremely complicated and is completely different to what you would consider "normal" :) As far as they say - you can achieve it with a different type o...

Refocus!?
I read up on that a while back also. the software should make it possible to eliminate all types of ca as well as refocus.

Anyone used www.cardrecovery.com ??
Obviously worth the money if the photos have some value or meaning!! Although I found several recovery programs for free that have worked fine. I have the installer for one that I used, but no readme stating who made it. I would look around a bit more. In general recovery programs do not alter...

Focus Bracketing
Following on from the Refocus thread, I've just remembered that there was a thread somewhere a while back that suggested Pentax had filed a Patent for an anti-shake mechanism that also moved the sensor backwards and forwards??? Perhaps this is part of a focus bracketing mechanism? :shock: If th...

Discussion: Weekly Competition Nr.27: Any plant in MONO.
I went with the wikipedia definition Plants are a major group of life forms and include familiar organisms such as trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. But will revert back to my flower if you wish?

traveled with K10
Greetings all... back from our big adventure and had a great time in London and Amsterdam. I'm SO glad that we took the camera. Ended up taking over 1200 photos. Still paring them down to a polite number to share with folks. We never felt out of place or in any kind of peril. We walked a LOT...

help with raw
You can think of Raw as being like a film negative and Jpeg as a film transparency. You work from the raw file/negative and it is never altered but your 'print' is manipulated in whichever way you want. Keeping the original JPEG unaltered can be achieved in the same way you keep any other file...

help with raw
When I say terrible quality I dont mean terrible, just worse than photoshop compression. I shall take some examples if you want, but its not just noise and lower quality If the white balance is wrong, its hard to sort it out, and highlights/shadows are often worse quality in my opinion, compared ...

help with raw
Maybe i'm completely wrong, but the one time I shot in jpg, I didnt like the quality of the results (this was just some things round the house), went back and shot in RAW and it worked out alot better. That's a major generalisation from a very limuted experience... In general, if the photographer...

What tripod head??
10Lbs is about 4.5Kg. As you're interested in your macro stuff, I wonder how easy it is to use this sort of head when really close to something. If, for instance, you wanted to tip the camera forward a little, you'd actually have to move it a fair distance forward (the radius of movement is quit...

What tripod head??
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, if you are for example, tracking birds, it is very easy to use the IR remote that stores in the grip, giving you a free hand! Just hold it at the same time as the handle for panning and tilting, and press when you want to take the shot. This leaves my left hand free to zo...

What tripod head??
I hope you mean that despite using a tripod collar on the lens... :shock: ...I can't imagine that trpod mounting the camera and then attaching such a beast to it would result in anything less than the lens mount detaching from the camera body. One useful technique is to use two tripods. One suppo...

pentax dealers in london
The first time I came across this sort of thing was when I was looking to buy a camera, walked into a shop in Bolton and asked to see it. "We don't demonstrate cameras" was the reply. I enquired whether it was a photographic dealer or not. "We just sell boxes," was the reply, &qu...

Epson Photo paper and original inks
Thank you John, but no such claims there, I did actually phone them a while ago and was told they would get back to me - but never did. I just wondered if anyone else had investigated this further. Lilly

Epson Photo paper and original inks
Lilly, this link dates back almost 5 years to the launch of the R800 http://www.photo-i.co.uk/News/Nov03/R800.htm Claims a life of 80 years for Gloss and 100 for Matte. I use 3rd party inks and paper, durability is not a concern since I can always reprint. This obviously is more of an i...

Resizing and sharpening
With RAW files, it's possible for Silkypix to apply no sharpening at all, so theoretically you could do all the sharpening as a final stage with another program if you like*, or even transfer a TIFF back to Silkypix after cloning etc and sharpen and resize then. Obviously this would be hassle and...

Pentax UK's marketing budget
Does it have one? Pentax had a minimal presence at the SWPP & BPPA show last week. I don't think there were any of their own staff there but were relying on resellers to represent them. In contrast, Canon and Nikon had large stands with plenty of hands-on. Now, looking at the exhibitors fo...
