But the Canon Pro9000 is a discontinued model actually, it's replaced by the Mark II last year. Stefan, you must get bored sometimes. Seriously. If I was talking about whether a new Ford Focus is worth buying. Would you struggle to understand that I was talking about the current model unless I...

Famous Pentax Photographers
I do agree with the comment that it's the image that's most important rather than the make of camera. However I do think that when it comes to marketing and sponsorship Pentax does seriously lack behind Canon and Nikon. Ever since I bought my first dslr - the K10 back in August 2007 and subsequently...

PU - latest issue
Thanks from me too. Setting up the website is going to be on the back burner for a while though. :( "Still life" is not really my thing so it'll be a challenge to come up with something. Best wishes, Kris.

PU - latest issue
Thoramay, I'm going to describe how I link to images in this forum - with screenshots to make it absolutely clear. I use Firefox for my web browser but Internet Explorer and Safari have similar commands. Doing it that way violates the Flickr TOS and risks having your account closed. All photos 'hotl...

Lightroom 3 - Image differences between Library and Develop
Hi all, noticed this today when processing some older JPEGS on Lightroom 3 (I shoot RAW now, and have never noticed this issue with them). In Library mode, I select a picture and view it full screen. I then click on Develop to process it. Say for example I turn sharpening up to 100. The pictur...

Nikon is going EVIL
yes i know technically the shutter is back there...but practically you need a cover at the front so crap can't get inside when you take a lens off. In fact, with about 2 seconds thought I can come up with an Iris-shaped cover mechanical mechanism attached to the lens-mount release button that is...

Help with photoshop
That looks a lot better but you see some lighter green spots around the area where the pink flower was. With the smudge tool you can make that far less obvious by rubbing/smudging it out. Edit: actually it looks very good, I find it so hard to cloon out things in the out of focus back ground, it...

Some advice about PS please
I won't ask why you want to do such a thing! How I'd go about it is create a duplicate layer and turn it off. Working on the original (bottom) layer, I'd then go to Adjust>Colour>Variations and click 'Add More Green' (with 'midtones' tickbox selected). Maybe add more yellow too. I'd then turn ...

The "Dirtiest Sensor" I've ever seen
This so called US on ebay isn't exactly impressing buyers with his filthy sensor :lol:

Rule of thirds grid
I see you're a K10D user. Could try a LL-80 focus screen - not in thirds its true, but has a 4 x 4 grid which allows you to a) judge the relative proportions quite well and b) aids getting horizons true (one of my failings). Put them into both my K10D and K20Ds. Rule of Thirds is a tool - but it'...

Rule of thirds grid
I hate to oversimplify this but the standard ( at least K20)focus screen is pretty much a rule of thirds grid.... The big square is as near as damn it on the one third and two thirds point horizontally. (and only slightly taller than a thirds grid ) Vertically the thirds lines run about half way be...

Shutter Blur on K7
I've done a very quick scan of this and they seem to be discussing a phenomenon that they have described as shutter blur. They do stress that this is not something that is pecular to Pentax cameras, although they used a Pentax to demonstrate it. The hypothesis is that the movement of the shutter ...

Shutter Blur on K7
Carl Zeiss ZM-Biogon 25mm ƒ/2.8 at 400 lpmm Digital is capable of a maximum of 87.5 lpmm according to so does that mean film is sharper than digital :shock: I was told - many years back even pre *istD, that to match good quality film with digital that it would require a pixel count of around...

Shutter Blur on K7
I have noticed this effect on my K-7... definite motion blur at 1/60-1/125 and thereabouts, using my 10-20 and 16-45mm. I have tested with the focus fixed, 2 sec timer engaged, SR off, and camera set down on a window ledge etc. Every time I check, the shot at 1/80 (ish) is softer than the one at 1/2...

Shutter Blur on K7
Interesting read... I've had some odd occasions of blur that shouldn't be there. I think I'll go back and examine the meta data in the light of those experiments :) Matt

Shutter Blur on K7
16mm, SR turned off, camera placed on concrete windowsill, 2 second timer engaged, and pre-focussed using Live-view. OK, maybe its not *horrific* but it is disheartening to see in such an expensive piece of kit. There are many factors that cause slight motion blur, but it's a bit annoying w...

Shutter Blur on K7
Now you know why I sold my K7, I have had some good photos with it but is was so inconsistent with focus and and exposure issues I got fed up with it, I prefer the K20, but I have moved on and not looking back, Jack. Actually, you confessed to it.
