Why Editing is as Important as the Photo Shoot
I decided writing this essay after going through and editing close to twelve hundred (1200) images this afternoon. Why? Because I want to share with you the importance of editing and how it defines what your style is and what your state of mind was at the time of your decision to make the choices y...

Why Editing is as Important as the Photo Shoot
great post!! :) 3. The marking of choices marked and noted generally from 3 to 5 stars. I am usually overly generous at the onset, until I see a knock me out shot, where I then go back and mark the now not so great image accordingly. Yup, I dod exactly the same thing :) 5. A resting ...

Duplicate finder?
What I had in mind was maybe where someone makes other versions of an image. Just go Start>Search and select image files and search using part of the file name so that it picks up all the variants. So, for example, "Jenny at Sea" and "Jenny at Sea Web Version" would both be found looking up "Jenn...

My problem is that some time ago a freind set me up with an external 500 Gig hard drive to back-up my computer; What I was too daft to grasp,being new to computers, was that every time I backed up everything was stored again, whether it was altered or not! Bob, see my earlier post in this thread. Us...

I have this problem too, but didn't want to admit it:oops: I made copies of SD cards to clear them before re-use. then backed the copies up, then had back ups of the back ups. I probably have a few gig of copies!! But then, I never was very tidy, either in "real life" or with files on my PC :r...

Hasselblad "true focus feature"
Ok, Pentax, something to add to future bodies :) "Due to the physics of an SLR-camera, the off-center focus points that are offered are all clustered relatively close to the center of the image. To set focus outside of this center area, the photographer is still forced to focus first, and th...

Hasselblad "true focus feature"
This is mainly bullshit,...sorry!..marketing hype.... Hassy has been slipping in it's sales recently due to it's thinking that by making it's digital back proprietry it would 'force' the use/purchase of it's system. However, many digital MF users waited for better and more versatile systems to ...

Hasselblad "true focus feature"
This is addressing focus and recompose if I understand it correctly. In which case I do't think it's BS - I have found that in many cases focus and recompose leads to less than precise focus. I wouldn't pay anything for this feature but I would welcome it. Mike

Hasselblad "true focus feature"
It's well established that this is a factor worth addressing at close distances - typically when looking for sharp eyes in portraits. With the Pentax cameras Quick Shift makes an adjustment possible. If the camera did it automatically, then why not?

Hasselblad "true focus feature"
This is simply the use of computer circuits to keep track of the focus point setting on a particular lens when the camera is panned or recomposed. Obviously it only has relevance when depth of field is at a minimum. In real camera systems intended for general photography, focus point is not, con...

Hasselblad "true focus feature"
So what good design would you postulate that is more efficient than a clever bit of technology that will help improve the results of lots of photographers. And certainlty make things no worse for anyone else. Obviously indeed it's most relevant where DOF is limited, but that's what it was designe...

PEFs as picture files ?
I think all you needed to do was to check the 'File Types' tab in folder tools from any Windows Explorer window. Chances are that the PEF entry was missing for some reason, and it's been added back by installing the Codec. Sounds like you are sorted now anyway.

Anyone here keep their 6MP SLRs for infrared?
Conversions are quite common in the USA, where IR photography has a stronger following than here. I have friends who have had the conversion done, removing the "hot filter" and replacing it with a similar but transparent piece of glass. Then you do indeed have an IR camera. For casual use, the *i...

Anyone here keep their 6MP SLRs for infrared?
A K20d (or at least a GX20) isn't much good with an R72 filter. The IR pass filter is much stronger so longer shutter speeds are needed and the results are blurry and poor unless the subject is completely still (and even then the shots are noisy). Much easier to convert an old camera! Point and...

Anyone here keep their 6MP SLRs for infrared?
I spoke to Advanced Camera Services at the recent Focus Show. They do infrared conversions and list the Pentax itD as one of the cameras they will convert. I spoke to their representative on the stand about converting one of my Pentax DSLRs to infrared. He said that he would not now want to convert ...

Problem with a Kodak
sorry to ask for help on this - but some ideas are needed. I have a Kodak C703 P&S camera - handy wee thing , bought in 2007 [ I think ] It has definitely been responsible for me getting more involved in Photography. Since I got my K-x I have continued to use this , most recently for takin...

Problem with a Kodak
My mum didn't have much joy with a Kodak digital compact, one (lithium ion) battery died, the replacement did the same 6 months later. She's given up and gone back to her Samsung film compact. Dan
