Vista 64 bit
Is Windows 7 essentially Vista? Yes. Microsoft are known to be working on a fairly revolutionary kernel redesign where it is split into meaningful chunks that are then loaded - and likely licensed - depending on the pc’s intended functionality. Ignoring virtualisation this technology is backwa...

Vista 64 bit
The early version of Microsoft Windows was 3.1. Then Windows 95, then Windows 98, then Windows ME, (note we have now dropped the numbers and are now on letters,) then Windows 2000( back to numbers),some companies are still using this, then we jumped to XP, (I'm using XP Pro). In each case, Microso...

Pentax puts up prices in Europe too.
It's not only in the UK that prices are rising. I just had an e-mail from one of the biggie camera shops in Holland saying all the major manufacturers, so Pentax too, are/have put up prices by 10-15% throughout Europe. Since prices here were already much higher than in the UK, and with no cash back ...

SilkyPix and the Internet
I too dumped Norton after it seemed to become a system smasher but was recommended to try Norton 2009 as they had addressed all those issues and got back to their roots. The reviews suggested it was good and thus far it seems it's good and at £22 for a 3 user licence that's not bad. Time will tell t...

Why take a photogaph?
Had a thought provoking moment at work today. One of the people I work with was coming up to his thirtieth a year or so ago. He and his wife had careers, a house etc., but they decided to bin it all and go travelling. Obviously he could not take a serious camera with him, but whatever he took, wa...

Converging verticals.
a) Because of the physics of the normal lens b) Keep the camera back parallel to the subject (which may mean you have to go higher) or... you can correct using the Photoshop distortion correction filters (or Silkypix has vertical & horizontal correction controls too). or... you can get a "Til...

Converging verticals.
Converging verticals are correct. Think of it like this. If you looked at a train track receding off into the distance it would converge to a point. We expect that, it's a fact. And we don't try to correct it! These are converging horizontals and our eyes and minds accept this as normal. Now l...

Converging verticals.
Distortion? What distortion? Do you mean barrel or pincushion? They are none. Unfortunately no one makes a shift lens for Pentax DSLRS. I have the 28mm f3.5 shift which is a fabulous big expensive piece of glass which needs to be used on a tripod with spirit levels and a grid focusing screen, you...

Photos in the snow
Be careful when going back inside, keep camera in a sealed bag and let it warm up gradually. That way you'll avoid expensive condensation problems inside the lens and body. I killed a point and shoot by not doing that!

Hanging prints on walls
Hi everyone Back with a question please. I wanted to hang some pictures on the walls, specially of the little ones that I managed to capture with reasonable good quality. I did some quick checks on the internet and found that there are canvas inkjet printing papers that I can buy. But besides the...

How much are they going for? I was thinking of putting mine on Ebay when I get back as I have the Metz now.

O well
I get a bit frustrated with mine but I put that down to inexperience with flash. I could never get it to work properly in slave mode with the built in flash as the trigger, and the P-TTL seems to under-expose badly. I've taken to using it on manual mostly. If you get the chance, compare it against...

SD card too small..???
"Would we all have our own personal hard drive to slot into whichever PC we would be using at the time? Food for thought" You can do that already with Puppy Linux (and many more Linux OSs I'm sure). Load PL onto a DVD RW, and away you go. As long as the machines you use can burn to DVD, you hav...
