No, it doesn't, and I'll clarify that again some more: I take a photo of (part of) a 3-series BMW. I cannot use the photo in a calendar for profit without requesting the permission of BMW, as the form of the car is copyright. I *can* use the photo in a calendar that's mine, just mine. Their ve...

Because I can and it would be interesting, I will ask Audi UK if they have anything against me creating and selling (with the intention of making a profit) calendar picturing A2s. I am 100% sure that they will knock it on the head. Another example, from here: http://boingboing.net/2008/01/13/for...

Manual HDR - night shots
As I wrote up the process for the night shots that I took in Singapore for ....ehm... another forum :oops: :oops: ... I thought I might as well repeat it here: The method I use is basically a form of exposure stacking. From a series of exposures you pick the right exposure for the different parts...

Manual HDR - night shots
Hmmm, I get your drift. Much appreciated! I do like that version, too (though it needs the final sharpening). I did think of it as the finished product when I thought of trying the local equalisation on this one. And once I have applied this effect it is too late, I find it very hard to go back t...

Dare to say it but it can be an age thing (I wanted say most pentax users are old but better not do that :mrgreen:). Are you trying to imply that our venerable Pentax users here of this forum are a soon to be dying breed? :twisted: :mrgreen: The Photomonk Well you can see it as that but I see it ...

Think I must be in a very small group of people who have bought Photoshop (in fact the whole web premium suite!) and just don't use it! (Don't worry, it's not wasted, Fiona has a design degree and is quite at home there!) :D With the advent of more software like Lightroom, and Aperture (which I s...

Now, if I wanted to use Photoshop, I would have to export the picture from Aperture, probably as a Tiff, load that into Photoshop, save it after editing it, then import it back into Aperture. To be honest, I just can't be bothered with all that nonsense It probably won't change your workflow, but th...

I always find these discussions to be fruitless. Sometimes I think the detractors say what they say because they do not understand Photoshop and simply use it badly, getting bad results, which then turns them off the package. Then, forever more they say it is not necessary. This is of course a ...

Well, I finally got the answer to several of my questions in one hit. I tried Iceblinker's suggestion: Try creating and posting two versions of the same image to this forum: one created with a ppi number of 1 and another with 1000, both resampled to 800x600 pixels. They will appear exactly the sam...

(Quick aside, back to the OP) I wonder if it's anything to do with the fact that Pentax' heyday was 20+ years ago. So the Pentax demographic contains a higher than average number of 40+ blokes like me, who a) possibly have a lot of experience so don't need much PP work, b) possibly own fine older...

Preparing for Haiti Departure
Good luck. If you have the time and money a portable media thingy that lets you down load images to a hard drive might be a worthy investment. As for advice, I am sure I read somewhere on this forum, that in the days of manual focus and film bodies, about setting aperture priority, and using ...

Preparing for Haiti Departure
Hope things get sorted for your trip soon. If you have a laptop with you when you go - or someone does - backup everything to that every day. Take cleaning materials - rocket blower / lens pen etc as things are likely to be dusty and dirty. not to sure about Haiti but doubt that it is too different ...

OK, if you set a wide aperture (small number such as f2.8, f4, etc.) and focus on something then very little in front and behind the subject will be sharp. This is shallow depth of field. If you set a small aperture (big number such as f11, f16, etc.) then much more will be in focus in front of a...

Depth of field relates to how much of an image is in focus, and it's a lot simpler to deal with on older manual lenses as they usually have a depth of field scale. Basically at f2.8 things slightly in front of or behind your subject will be out of focus. As you stop down the depth of field increases...

He means a shallow "depth of field". The depth of field generally increases as the subject to camera distance increases. ( and vice versa) The depth of field is the range of distances from the lens that are in focus. Say for example everything between ten and fifteen feet( or metres if you prefer...
