What Do You Do With Your Photos?
Hi All, I was just wondering as we all end up taking so many shots, what do you do with them once taken? Apart from sharing a few of them on various websites. I have some of mine turned into a photo album and calenders and cards at Christmas, but a hardly print any off in comparision to the numbe...

Dust on sensor?
Hi Andrew it's mirror lockup time. Take the lens off then turn the camera back on and go to the dust removal section and look for mirror lockup.Use a rocket blower to blow the sensor when you think you've gave it enough turn off the camera. Re-attach the lens and all should be back to normal.I...

Dust on sensor?
dont use it with the lens cap on, the cap is suppose to be off and pointed at a white back round that is all you need, and i would not recomend a blower to many people scratch thing with them ie the sensor or in my case the focus screen, i recomend this, it works a treat. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Du...

Dust on sensor?
It can be some dirt which is really stuck to the sensor. I would then resort to a blower but with a blower you risk blowing dust behind the focus screen. I do use a rocket blower and if the particles do not leave willingly I take out the arctic butterfly.

BEWARE
It's not always greedy people who get caught out by these scams - there are plenty of vunerable people who may fall for it, by being too trusting or maybe not understanding. :? Saying that, the scams do still make me chuckle. I had this problem the other day with an advert I posted on Gumtree loo...

Who calibrates their screen
Stefan, I doubted a lot before buying my Eye-one display 2 but I finally took the plunge and I never regretted the fact that I bought one. Like Matt I experienced problems once with a poorly performing display and that was not a nice one... You send out a large number of images to print and they ...

Who calibrates their screen
I calibrate both my laptop and my 20.1" HP SIPS monitor using an EyeOne Display 2 . Really easy to use with reminders at your choice of intervals. I have my printers calibrated for the inks and papers I use by Fotospeed and print via Photoshop CS2 from TIFF files. I used to do everything b...

Stock Photography
Cheers John and DOIK. Generally, whats your opinion on 'in-camera sharpening? Is it better to switch it off and sharpen in PSP or PS, or vice versa? The rejections I've had so far have come with no feedback at all (depsite them saying it has) so have no idea what is wrong with the pics. Not su...

Even WH Smiths had got Sandisk 4GB SDHC cards for under a tenner when I was in there yesterday Seems strange thinking back to when memory was so expensive or still is in some places by the sound of it:(

Photo Printer Canon ip4600
Just bought a Canon iP4600 (I know! Pentax don't do printers :roll:) Bought for £79 delivered from Amazon. And Canon have a £20 cash back offer running until 13th July. Not up to ProAM Imaging quality, admittedly, but has duplex printing (slow as it waits for the ink to dry), but text prints cl...

WARNING !
Hi guys, I'm a bit shell shocked at the moment ! I've been taking and downloading photos for around a year and a half now. First from my compact camera and more recently from my Pentax K10. Over that time I've tried Picasa, GIMP, Faststone, and then I bought Elements 6 which has been great. I ta...

WARNING !
I recently deleted the wrong directory of pics from my NAS drive (and as it's a network drive they don't go to the recycle bin). I used a piece of software called Active Undelete to recover the pics. I got every single one back. As others have said, deleting a file doesn't actually destroy it. ...

WARNING !
Don't know which NAS drive you own, but those generally cannot be directly connected via USB or other to allow undelete to work properly. Removing the drive from the enclosure and directly connecting it to your computer should work, but you will likely need to know what format it is. e.g. It may no...

newbie question: DOF in landscapes
If you want one thing is sharp focus and the background blurred, use a wide aperture and focus carefully on the thing you want sharp. If you want everything sharp from front to back, then use a small aperture, maybe f11, f16 or even f22, and focus on a point one third into the scene. This is the ...

newbie question: DOF in landscapes
You can see the sharpness as a hill, it improves steeply at the beginning and levels off mostly around f/8 to f/16 and goes down again, just Like John said. Here is a little read about the older Pentax lenses He says: For the vast majority of lenses, the peak of centre resolution is at f/8. F...

newbie question: DOF in landscapes
:idea:ah I was really used ti use f732 or 38 to increase the DOF, and the sharpness!:oops: that is why same pictures were not so on focus. so am I correct if I say: -to have the sharpest image is better not to go over f16 (it would be nice to know that value for each lens. I tried on google, but...
