How many photographers out there who are comfortable and totally at home in 35mm format? I have used 35mm film for 27 years so I guess, yes I am comnfortable. Do you really know photography or just shoot and hope? No and no. If you had to go back to 35mm would you survive. Go back? I never le...

Ken there quite a few of these online backup tools - how have you found Carbonite? How much have you backed up? Is it unobtrusive? Presumably you've tested a restore? How did that go? I've 30gb+ pf photographs alone that I'm backing up to two other external hard drives in rotation. But I h...

When you say 13,742 files Ken, do you mean image files? It seems like an attractive proposition, but I have over 200Gb of images, and that would take forever to upload. I use external hard drives (one onsite that gets backed up every day, one offsite that I do every fortnight) and use a program ...

Digital Asset Management
Thanks so far for all the answers. For those of you who use key wording,as a key function to find back your pictures. What is the average per picture you apply? I ask because when I started organizing my work flow by using the DAM future in Lightroom, I really thought 10-12 would be more than enoug...

Digital Asset Management
Lightroom for me too. I have too many digitally archived pics going back to 2005 without tags that I need to find time to correctly tag. Then it will be brilliant. Luckily I have a good memory and can find much of what I need when I need it. Truth is I don't need the old stuff much. Like all the 100...

Photo Teachers?
Just my thoughts. Learning how to use a camera can be taught in a number of venues. I've seen community classes at a local college that did a fine job at this. Learning the basics of artistic expression can also be taught without much trouble. In that I'm considering things such as the Rule of Third...

That's very thoughtful of you (as ever) Martin. Might have to come back to this tomorrow, though. It's 1145pm in Colombo now, and I've got to get up at 6:roll:.

Re-sizing images
Thought I'd update everyone re. my PSP re-sizing issue. It's still there unfortunately:roll:. I'm current with Windows/PSP updates. So I tried re-installing, though didn't think this would do the trick as I've loaded it on three computers now and all have had the same problem. It didn't! In the end ...

RAW/Tiff to Jpeg?
They make money by selling their other Faststone products. Giving away a free image viewer for non-commercial use only, especially if it's a well-regarded program, gives them a lot of great publicity. Not to mention the SEO benefits of bloggers and forum users who are linking back to the Faststone h...

Front Focus Issue
Hi Chaps, On my newly aquired K-7, my Sigma 30mm EX DG front focuses by approx' 2cm when wide open (f1.4) at min focus distance (40cm). Example of test shop My question is this. When used at more realistic distances, say 2m, will the front focus error remain at 2cm or will the error be exagerat...

Front Focus Issue
I would expect the error to be proportional to the distance focused. You could always try it. Set the camera up on a tripod pointing at a wall at 45 degrees, make a chalk mark where you can focus the camera, then see where the actual image is focused upon. That should work enough to give you an i...

Front Focus Issue
Hi Dan, I've used the correction option and at the max adjustment of -10 it's almost right but it's still a bit hit and miss. If it turns out that the error remains the same whatever the subject distance then indeed I'll stop worrying about this issue and find something else to worry about. Thank...

Novoflex lens adapters
This may be old news, but according to a.n. other website, well known for its industry previews, Novoflex have just announced a new range of adapter rings that will allow K-mount lenses to be used on micro 4/3rds cameras while retaining the ability to focus to infinity and use aperture-priority mode...

Novoflex lens adapters
That's very interesting. The adaptor makes sense to me because my main interest in Pentax is in the lenses - it'd be great to have another range of cameras they could be used on. And I use aperture priority all the time anyway, so no great loss in usability. Given Pentax's commitment to good ...
