Seagulls, who has a photo?
I think Mike has posted his second gull before. Each time I see it I think OI!! Then I remember I got the gull on his way back home.:wink: I also got a youngster trying out his camouflage. Being around Worthing there are no shortage of them and they remind me of wonderful beaches*...

Seagulls, who has a photo?
PS How did you get the pigeon's legs to do that? :shock: Selected the leg with Photoshop, cut and pasted it to a new layer and then just painted black in the hole left by the cut leg. Free transform the layer through about 90 degrees and move the leg layer until it appears to be roughly where it org...

Pentax 645D Release Date
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'd like to think that the new back will fit old 645's as many of us with old 645's and lenses (both manual focus and AF) can't afford a new £5000.00 / £6000.00 camera but a back only might be affordable. I'm sure if it fits then Pentax would make a lot of ...

Pentax 645D Release Date
Don't forget they got the MZ-D as far as prototype stage before canning it. Whats the betting they discovered it didn't perform well with FA glass and that was part of the reason it never made it to production. If it had just been poor availability of the sensor (which I believe was a problem), they...

Pentax 645D Release Date
I think it is unfortunate that nobody has explored the possibility I posted earlier... an adaptor for the 645d to use your 35mm lenses..... just imagine if such an adaptor kept infinity focus, af sdm etc. etc. etc. and if the camera utilized all of the lenses image circle, cropping in software for...

Nothing suitable from Pentax, so I've gone Nikon
If George can pick attention-grabbing headlines, I don't see why I shouldn't! Not a camera - a scanner. After an enormous amount of indecision, which I now regret, since delaying has cost me a bucket of money, I've ordered a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED from Adorama in the USA. It hasn't arrived ye...

Good luck with it Chris, I hope it arrives in one piece. Thanks (and thanks, John, too)! As John says, I don't envy you. No. I'm dreading it. But it's my whole life, pretty much. Most will be snaps, just memories I want back, but who knows, there may be a few good pictures in amongst the dros...

Nothing suitable from Pentax, so I've gone Nikon
I'm not getting any younger (age-wise at least) And so say all of us! I mean that about ourselves as well :lol: Tempted to answer Yes to your poll - but it applies to me as well! I bought a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 some years back. Still have a few thousand slides and negs I would like to do. H...

Nothing suitable from Pentax, so I've gone Nikon
Tempted to answer Yes to your poll I did, so don't hold back!! Definitely, definitely get Vuescan ;) You can set it up to do batches of slides and negs. I did thousands that way while working on other things (just feeding the scanner). That's exactly what I want, and is all the recommendation ...

Nothing suitable from Pentax, so I've gone Nikon
a) work out a (durable) file naming regime (ie MES-P0688-105 - tells me shot on an ME Super, processed June 88 and its slide no 5 of roll no 1) Yes, I was thinking about this. As it happens, I'm doing negs, not slides, but the issue is the same. All the films are numbered, and the strips will ...

I'm very surprised you aren't getting better results from Vuescan. I only used it briefly, and quite a long time ago, but the general consensus is that it's better than manufacturer software, so my advice would be to stick at it. Yes, I was surprised too, for the same reasons. From what I read,...

Nothing suitable from Pentax, so I've gone Nikon
Well, I've done nearly 800 now. There was a short pause when I ran out of disk space! My progress has been a lot faster than I'd expected, so I had to wait a couple of days for the delivery of three 1 TB hard disks. I now have two external drives for alternating backup, and plenty of space ...

Already busy with #1200? :D 1700 and going strong. I don't even hear the racket the scanner makes now, it's such a part of my working environment. Another thing I've noticed is the permanent crick in my neck I seem to have, looking at all the portrait shots displayed in landscape in Picasa. No ...

I'm *so* not going back to film :) Pity though, you just bought a machine for that and it will be sitting on a shelve gathering dust if you don't use film. Maybe you can get a MF to get some high quality prints!

A couple of hundred quid, assuming I can get back 80%, will be a small price to pay for the return of more than 20 years of memories. Those are certainly priceless.

Nothing suitable from Pentax, so I've gone Nikon
I've probably mentioned this elsewhere, but I ruined a whole roll of film walking in the Lake District, by using one of those extendable rubber lens hoods at the wrong length - the prints came back and the vignetting was awful. However, now that they're scanned, a little cropping and some of the ...
