I managed to buy the K20 with 16-45 lens for less than £780 and then got the £100 cash back. I know I got a good deal as the seller has now increased the price to well over £1300 :shock:

adobe elements 6 - layers and layer masks
This is the proven way from Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski: Select the sky you want to replace using the lasso tool or the magic wand tool or even the quick selection tool, or any combination thereof. Open your blue (or cloudy) sky picture. Either select the whole photo or use one of the selec...

Lacking image clarity
I just looked at the first two pics you posted - it just looks to me like a combination of flat lighting, camera movement and not being just quite in focus, still damn good given the conditions. BTW I didn't know Arlen Ness did sports bike stuff, I always knew him as a custom Harley builder par exce...

Faulty kit, must have the magic touch!
Went over to SRS today to exchange my faulty Metz 58, came up with a zoom error, and wouldn't communicate properly with the camera. As usual, great service, straight swap no questions asked. Bought another one for Fiona's kit bag as well, so we are going to be having fun playing with them both on wi...

DVD Archival for Photos
A brand new 1 terrabyte mybook drive costs less than the 500gig drive I bough a about two years ago. I can retire my old drive for archival, but also copy it to the new drive and still have 500 gigs to go. Carrying the files forward seems to be the safest bet. cost/gig is less, and yes, by the dri...

DVD Archival for Photos
I've got to agree with Don. Go for magnetic archive rather than optical and make two copies ( at least ) HDDs are cheap enough these days. Having said that, I haven't got that many photos to archive....yet :lol: But I when I have important data to archive in work, it only ever goes to magnet...

DVD Archival for Photos
Good grief! I feel like I am not backing up anything like enough reading all this. I back up my RAW photos onto Fujifilm CD-r for digital photos, and when I think of it back everything up onto an external HD. I print a lot of photos too nowadays. I like being able to look at "hard copies"...

DVD Archival for Photos
http://twipphoto.com/archives/572 Further yet to this discussion, I have still not come to a conclusion, but I am getting there! The above link may be of interest to some. I think I am going to buy another external HD, at the moment I have my images stored on my 200gb PC HD, plus a back-up ea...

DVD Archival for Photos
I think I am going to invest in another HD to store in safe place and have double back ups and not go the route of DVDs at all. I'm gradually coming to the same conclusion as well. Hard drives are so good in terms of capacity, reliability, price and ease-of-use. Security is a concern because hard...

refocussing speed
Hi I wonder if folks have some knowledge on this. I have been trying out the K10D with my 50mm 1.4 prime with continuous and AF.C on with focus on the centre spot to capture my kids running towards me down a slope. The results are really very good. All the shots are in focus except for one or two. H...

refocussing speed
thanks, confirming what I thought. with the birds of prey example. probably AF.C might not be a good idea. More importantly if I position myself so that I can pan and have a wide area where the distance between myself and the subject is the same then AF.S might be best, as that same focus will be ma...

refocussing speed
If the camera and yourself worked perfectly, AF-C should be no worse than AF-S when the distance remains constant. But slight variations in the scene or your aim can make it re-focus (unnecessarily) during the process, so I tend to find AF-C more often annoying than useful. But that could be dow...

online photography development
i'll try a test of some prints on that one mikew. i have just done some prints in the last week from photobox which to me are way too dark. so i ordered some of the same prints from snapfish and they are much better. the pictures are about the right brightness. So more detail is visible, and the pho...

Discussion: Weekly Competition #51 "The Street"
How other people interpret the theme is up to them, gartmore's brief is: Thinking of the work of Cartier-Bresson, Kertesz, Diane Arbus, Weegee and the rest, I'd like to see what you can do with real life on the street. If an entrant chooses an interpretation that the person who's set the theme do...

Thanks Ken When i first saw it i suspected it had something to do with the Protestant Catholic divide as you put it, but couldn't make the connection between you being a Scot and Nth Ireland, so i wasn't sure what to make of its meaning. I have my own views which i won't go into, and as John s...
