Jeez, I had forgotten that. The wee red line next to the white one. Ah, that takes me back. So would a digital camera have the same issue as it would try to focus on the visible wavebands? Or would you reset the focus point somehow?

It's a grey area isn't it. I wondered that too, because for critical focusing it would make AF useless. Quick Shift would work, because a slight tweak after AF would do the trick. But we don't know how well digital lenses are corrected in the IR band and we don't know if the focus point on converted...

Then again, we usually see IR landscapes; so lenses may well be stopped down so far and wide as to make the focus shift academic. I've never shot IR and haven't personally met anyone who has so it is quite curious, I think, that Pentax should have engraved every lens for a small minority of photogra...

It focus with the light there is so if only IR light is available it will focus with that, had no problems with focusing but that was with f/5.6 so decently wide might test it with f/2.8 close by focusing.

Creatiing a portfolio:
I would recommend an A3 folder as it's what I personally use. People want to see the quality of the photographs and the paper used. I have had so much positive feedback from clients regarding my portfolio. I mainly use that for portraiture work, For weddings and wedding fairs I tend to only use p...

Holiday shots Raw ofr Jpeg
RAW for me, always. Memory cards are cheap (and usually easy to find if you do run short) and it's not as if you can go back easily to get that shot you "missed" - at least with RAW it may well be recoverable :D

Thankyou to SRS
Having just got back from there and discussing lens price increases, you'll be glad you did. Serious advice, if you want a lens, buy it NOW as SRS stock is dwindling at the old price!

Polarising Filters
Getting the Vaseline off the filter is the follow-up headache. I only ever tried this technique once. What a mess. It's still on mine :lol: It was good, but nothing comes even remotely close to a Softar. I also bought a Tiffen soft focus filter which was really weird. It didn't soften the picture ...

Legal integrity of EXIF data
Cheers, I've got a couple of credit card receipts, camping receipt and 3 character witneses to fall back on too so hopefully should be OK.

Legal integrity of EXIF data
How things have changed in this country, I am not a legal expert by any means, but it use to be that it was for the police/CPS to prove guilt not the accused. They must be more aware than anyone at the level of cloning registration plates that is taking place in this country. If you say on oath, y...

Legal integrity of EXIF data
You have missed the point. If the traffic camera data is acceptable in court then why not the data from any other digital camera. There are cases where the authorities may "wish" to falsify data and they would only need to alter a few images. How many times have you heard that police reco...

DSLR on a plane
No problems - but make sure you understand the airline regulations on hand luggage. Some will only allow one small bag whereas others allow one bag plus laptop case. I took a camera through Frankfurt during a time of heightened security. The security agent asked if he could check the camera ...

DSLR on a plane
The big problem is not that you have a camera but the total weight of the bag it is in. (Most airlines 5Kg) Try to keep your bag to the particular airlines limit and put some of your gear in belt pouches around your waist at the back. Camera and medium lens(70-200)? in one. Extra lens in another and...

DSLR on a plane
I have taken my Tamrac Expedition 5 loaded to the brim with photo gear on board both KLM and BA flights - they have never weighed it (thank goodness!) or queried the size. Since they won't accept liability for checked camera gear they are slightly more generous as to what you can take on board with ...

Do you bring your tripod abroad? and which model?
I only have one tripod, a Velbon CF640. It goes with me, packed in my suitcase. I need it for the Bigma, and can't afford the luxury of two tripods. You do have to check them - airport security sees them as a potential weapon, but tbh I'd rather check it, as I have enough to cope with with my photo ...

Do you bring your tripod abroad? and which model?
The very few times I have need for a tripod (e.g. waterfalls) I think how grateful I am that Pentax SR serves my needs 99% of the time. No way I'd ruin a vacation by lugging around a tripod. (And this from someone just back from Niagara Falls!)

Blue tint from a polarizer
I'd say it was due to the white chest reflecting the blue sky, and your white balance being set on either auto or sunny. The shot over all looks a little cool, but changing the white balance to shade would probably make the rock and sunlit areas of the birds too warm looking. The underside of th...

Blue tint from a polarizer
I'm struggling to see anything wrong. It looks like normal strong daylight to me. I would be more concerned with the focus, but it's a nice shot.
