netbook usefull?
The only reason I won't use mine for editing is the size of the screen. I shall view the photos (hence Irfanview) and probably tag them etc but editing will wait for the big screen. My husband is hoping to use my netbook to edit his jpegs. Fat chance :lol::lol: We often travel by winging i...

netbook usefull?
Gosh, this thread has rambled around a bit ... Back to netbooks. There are a few things that you can do with them. If you can get a connection, you can use them to do your on-line check-in from your hotel room. Of course, it may cost more than walking down to the hotel "Business Center", but hey...

netbook usefull?
... We often travel by winging it and it is then good to have internet to search for the next hotel. In the past we have lugged his laptop with us, but now we don't need to. We will be winging it to a certain extent in France as we are pottering down to the first house, and pottering back up, so in...

Samsung GX10
Re: upgrading from the K10/GX10 to the K20 I disagree with John having done exactly that last year. I wouldn't spend a fortune doing so, but the sensor is definitely better on the K20D and the ease of independent lens focus adjustments is a definite bonus. The "take all bracketed shots with one sh...

I make this topic because I'm just back from the photo club and I asked why someone didn't use trailing curtain with one of her shots... how long do you think we were busy to find the trailing curtain of the build-in flash in a Canon with 3 Canon users and me... 15 minutes... I never knew how handy...

It's not much better in the K-x manual either - basically, as I understand it, it gives you the light trail but keeps the subject [ ie a car ] in focus too . I could of course be wrong :)

From early Cibachrome with a home modified Gnome enlarger That brings back some memories. My enlarger was a modified Zenith, but it was still fun being able to do color prints at home.

Filters
If you're going to use colour filters on digital then make sure the white balance is set to something other than Auto, otherwise the camera will just try and correct for anything you put in front of the lens and you'll be back to square one. Generally most people do any colour shifts in PP these day...

Gutted - Anyone do much repair work?
My friend gave me his SD800 IS P&S camera as he had dropped it and the lens was jammed. Well, I ripped that bad boy down, rebuilt the gears, and it looked great. As I was putting it back together, I ripped one very small flex cable, GUTTED! It's part of the major flex cable assembly and I just co...

Sharpness? resolution? contrast?
As you know, I was having some focus problems, so I did some test shots. It was then that I realized that the Takumar 135mm F2.5 Bayonet gave better results that the Tamron 24-135mm at 135mm. Takumar 135mm F2.5 Bayonet, ISO100, F4, 1/160, ~200% crop Tamron, ISO100, F4, 1/160, ~200% My ...
