Shooting at a gig thursday evening
Hi Andy I think I have seen one on a forum somewhere but can't find a link right now. All I try to do is ensure that all the histogram is in the frame. From experience the shape is pretty dependent on the the subject. Pictures with evenly balanced colours give a broad low histogram where subj...

Ok first attemt of HDR photo
Oh and the first shot is tilting too much, have you got a spirit level on yr tripod, I have one that slides onto the hotshoe and is very accurate. Also, if you can, try to get the whole of the building in the shot and the flags. I know this can be a problem if you can't get further back, maybe th...

Ok first attemt of HDR photo
I cannot possibly understand why somebody would shoot such a 'detail-thirsty' image with a format compression. It makes no sense at all. Not to mention the noise in the Jpegs, which can be removed in the RAW files. The only reason the book says this is because when you open an image in ACR it will...

Ok first attemt of HDR photo
To Carl, Apart from the minor imperfections in allignment, and CA, and Noise, what disturbs me the most is the crop you've applied to both the images. When composing, try to see how the eye can look at the picture, where are the points of interest, and where can the eye relax in the frame. In bo...

A PC for RAW
If your HD's a few years old, it could be slowing everything down. Check it with some S.M.A.R.T. software. Modern drives re-allocate sectors without telling you and it really slows things down and there is a limited amount of space on the drive availabe for re-allocation. Scandisk doesn't actually s...

A PC for RAW
My HD is about two years old, a WD 200GB SATA and yes I could use it as a backup. But first I will try a memory upgrade in fact an email has just popped up telling me it's been despatched :) Think the progress and cost of computer items is staggering, my first true PC had a hard drive of 64k and...

A PC for RAW
More than anything RAM is the best thing to have for photo work. 3GB is the maximum in Windows XP and Vista 32-bit. In the x64 editions you gan get a hell of a lot more but most machines are limited to between 4GB and 32GB by hardware. DDR is more expensive than DDR2 and will set you back about £...

A PC for RAW
From my earlier post: ...expect in the region of 20 to 60 seconds per image (depending on what processing options you apply). I'll check out the handling of a 6Mp PEF file on my 1.6GHz Centrino machine later... but 40 seconds does not sound unreasonable. The PC RAW processing is much more comple...

A PC for RAW
The advantage of adding memory can be overstated. Back in the days when it was £100 per MB, people tended to run with too little, but now when it's dirt cheap, most PCs come with more than enough for most tasks. I have 2GB in mine, and seldom use more than one - even running Silkypix. Just as ...

Urgent - Srs Microsystem
Your right Andy.... On the K10D there does seem a difference. I got the original info from RiceHigh's Pentax Blog and I've just checked back and he was using a K100D which is slower than a K10D. He got write speeds between 1.79 and 2.54 MB/s so the card did not make a lot of difference. And he con...

Picasa 3 Problem.
I put a 2GB SD into my laptop slot and began importing about 220 JPEGs to Picasa. It got to about 185 before the following message came up: " An error has occurred during importing. Either the source is unavailable or the destination is full or read only. (2)" The 185 seemed to save fine, so I put t...
