Greatest Photographic Achievement 2009
For me it's was managing to get 3 photos published in one copy of Steam Railway Magazine. I had only converted over to digital 2 year's ago from my P30T to the K10D and if anyone's tried their luck with mainstream magazines they might find that Editor's do like to publish photos from the same establ...

Greatest Photographic Achievement 2009
I have to agree with Father Ted ( how is the little fella with the flu by the way ? ) He's fine thanks. Back to causing trouble. :roll: I didn't get my photo enlarged for the wall. SHe just wanted a couple of small water themed scenes for the bathroom, so I used a couple of the kids at the beach ...

Xmas Day
With you being away the best gift you can give your wife is your time, everything else is worthless. Very true, she did say that I only needed to get back in time for Xmas. The deed is done however, so providing the weather in Holland and the UK does not get much worse, I should make it. Regards

Top Tips.
Top Tip #8 With my istD to my eye, I sometimes cannot find the shutter button immediately. It is flat, shiny and feels much like what surrounds it. I often mistakenly press the green button, instead! I have an old broken K1000. These cameras have a nice knobbly grained leatherette body covering....

Top Tip #10. Do not get drunk at the works Christmas party and tell the Boss exactly what you think of him. - If you still want a job to go back to, that is!

Top Tips.
Aha! I didn't know the part about twisting the cap to clean the pad, thanks for mentioning that. My microfibre cloth is now relegated to cleaning noseprints off the LCD on the back of my camera or cleaning inside lenses I'm treating for a fungal infection, as the lens pen is both much easier to u...

predications Pentax 2010
DA*600 f4 ( I can dream.....) K8 same dimensions as K7 with new sensor - much better high ISO noise performance and full HD video ( 1920 x1080 at 24, 25 and 30 fps.)contrast based autofocus in video mode, ability to select sdm or screw focus. (14.5 Mpixels is fine for me.) A DA* or ltd lens wit...

predications Pentax 2010
Your first idea would be a great one Hefty or they should release a SDK version so we can do it ourselves. K20/200D replacement to sit between K-x and K-7. I thought about that one too but the problem is that the K7 will get cheaper over time so probably down to a level that the K20D cost so I wo...

lighten up and shoot
I know someone with a Selphy, it produces postcard-sized photos (the paper is pre-marked for use as a postcard). It works very well indeed, although you need to be careful not to get fingerprints on the glossy side of the paper as they will show on the finished photo. It can also be a bit fiddly to ...

Photomunk the device looks nice but the prints are rather small. The selphy prints are bigger and there is not much worry with inkt there either. Will need to think this over and I'm glad I've some time to do that. :) You do have time, and there is time to look at the options. I use it for fun giv...

My Mother also owns a Selphy (the one I've had a brief play with), I'm not sure which model but it can definitely take a rechargeable battery as she ordered a couple of 3rd party ones. They seem to work ok, although she did say something about having to trim a bit of plastic to make them fit properl...

The Selphy paper has two perforated strips. Once these are torn off, the photos are postcard sized (and the paper has pre-printed markings on the back to allow you to use it as a postcard). That isn't fully correct because there are more variations then that, You have the postcard size 100x148 mm b...

What Knowledge Level Do You Have?
Errr, beginner, developing some skills? I'm better in my eye for a good shot than in actually using the camera properly >_< I got brill shots with my Konica instamatic, and when I changed to an OM10 it took a good six rolls of film before I stopped taking rubbish pictures that were all camera shake/...

Well not bad was meant to be a 16 hour back to back and I finished after 20 hours. It's always the same, just due to come of shift and someone decided to break into a local shop, the good news is I caught him still at the scene. On a more postive note, did Santa reward all you good boys and girls w...

Home, eventually.
Glad you made it back. Did you ever make the mistake I did? Got on a plane at Jeddah at midnight - 30 deg C, jeans and a t-shirt. Got to Gatwick at seven in the morning - minus one deg C and snowing.

Agfa Rondinax - anyone else use one?
My Dad used to use one for 120 film with very good results, unfortunately all his darkroom gear was sold off a couple of years back including the little Agfa tank. I've been considering doing my own 120 film development this year (there's nowhere local that will do it any more) so I may keep an e...
