Printing from Canon MP 610
You guys are terrific! I've had my new printer for over 6 months and at last I'm getting to use it. I've only got to do a couple of tweaks as per the talk through, but first I have to take my dog over the hills for a run and stop him from rounding up all of the sheep. He's a rescued border collie...

Printing from Canon MP 610
John, The reason it jammed was, because the camera was set to something other than manual and I was manually focusing, plus it was an m42 with adaptor. Basically I was using the samsung as an slr but didn't tell it. Back to topic. I am now turning out A4s that are good and it is now a matter of t...

Buying used Pentax gear on the forum - warranty transfer
Companies often say warranty non transferable to try and get out of replacing stuff thats near the end of its warranty. All SRS are doing is helping pentax users out by not saying anything if they take something back and send it off for repair/replacement

Another Jessops thread
They were misinforming you HG, probably through ignorance. The mail order processors might be a better bet. It sounds as though Jessops acepted your film in ignorance as well. Let's hope it doesn't come back with the message, "We don't do 120 films" Fingers crossed!

Why I HATE Umbrella Lighting...
Why I HATE Umbrella Lighting... If you want to get me to fall a sleep, just show me some images shot with umbrella lighting. Now I am not talking Richard Avedon, because Richard Avedon did a lot more than capture images with a single umbrella, he captured a moment that is so his signature, that...

Why I HATE Umbrella Lighting...
Well all this is unfortunately wasted on me as I dont own an umbrella because I cant afford lighting kit. Ime trying to make my own "make shift" lighting kit consisting of bed sheets, halogen lamps with white bulbs and tin foil. However ime unfortunately yet to actually try any of it due to la...

Portraits with a busy background
If not the garden, can you rig up a back drop to hide some of the furniture - a sheet or something? Any of the family got a bare wall you could borrow instead? If Mother Ted wants these photos so much maybe she'll help move the furniture for the shots?

Portraits with a busy background
Sit her as far away from the backgound as you can, and use a wide aperture to throw it out of focus. Your 50mm at 1:1.7 would be ideal. In fact, you might find 1:2 or 1:2.8 would be better because at 1:1.7 the DOF is so limited that accurate focussing is critical. G

Portraits with a busy background
You could hang a backdrop on the washing line Father Ted and sit her in front:wink: That's a good idea! Didn't think of that. Then I could use some of the potted plants as props! Sit her as far away from the backgound as you can, and use a wide aperture to throw it out of focus. Your 50mm at 1...

Portraits with a busy background
You can get decorators' dust sheets made of tan/khaki Hessian type material at very modest cost from B&Q or Homebase. You can use as is or dye and then use George's suggestion of out of focus background. White might be a little difficult to control I'd imagine. Mike

Portraits with a busy background
Hang a sheet over the washing line and make sure she's far enough away so it's out of focus. I've done this and it seems to work. I can't believe I've just given someone some advice!:P

Grumpiness
I have in recent months been accused of being grumpy. Longer serving members of the forum will (I hope) attest that in days gone by such a charge (whilst possibly not lacking all foundation) would not have stuck for long. So why the change? I asked myself that question, and here are the answe...

Grumpiness
Wise words George, and well spoken. But....as a witness of a certain decline on this forum (After the forum revamp), I wonder if this can be changed. If a internet community reflects the real world, than there is enough reason to worry. With the big increase of members, we witnessed on this for...

Grumpiness
I am hopeful that there has been a "sea change" for the better, but of course the tone of the forum will depend very much on who is here. Every member is the forum, there's no escaping that, so one viewpoint won't necessarily exist. The one expressed in this thread is very positive though, and I ...
