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. Oggy, Jack is obviously describing a camera he ju...

Shutter Blur on K7
It's (might be) sympathetic resonance, IIRC, it can happen with many systems where the resonance is triggered and amplified. Bridges, musical instruments, sprung loads etc etc can all suffer. I guess the sensor is mounted on some kind of dampened mount, sprung perhaps with something to move ...

Passport photos
Interestingly the rules for passport photos for passports renewed abroad are slightly different to those for the UK. I can't remember all the differences now, but it is to allow for foreign passport photo rules too. I used to be able to send my passport off to Amsterdam for renewal and get it b...

Passport photos
Pleased to report that the mug-shot I took of myself for my new passport was accepted - I didn't print it myself, but I did do everything else. The walls in my house are nominally white, but under ambient light come out looking light grey, so I just sat on a chair with the remote control F, and t...

Ditch RAW+Jpeg bracteted for RAW alone?
Peter, only rich enough for 8GB cards at the moment. I fill one up easily in a walkabout session. Wow. I know when I started with digital I shot like crazy, but now a given outing does not come close to filling 8GB. In fact I only need cards that big when on holidays in special places (eg Andalusia...

Ditch RAW+Jpeg bracteted for RAW alone?
If I go specially out to take photos I normally come back with 250 photos but it can easily be more. The most I made in one day was 711 photos during an endurance auto race in Zandvoort.

Provided the hard disk is not the problem, I would think quite good. If you remove the hard disk from the laptop, use an adapter to connect it to your PC, transfer files, refit hard disk back into laptop get laptop repaired. Regards

External hard drive casing is the way to go for data retrieval, SATA here IDE here Just chose 2 of the cheapest on ebay. As for TechGuys I wouldn't trust them with a calculator. I had to return my netbook as the screen had developed a fault, the machine was like new, it is my...

Are you going to keep one set or two? If just one on the external drive, you still have no real back up.

I believe limited and true limited is the norm here at least the package we have is that, download around the 35GB per month and couldn't find limits or reasonable use with the fibre packages offered. I think cloud is still a bit too expensive for massive use but you could for example back up you...

Cable Release
I just got myself this . I have the remote, so only wanted this for catch-in-focus, so didn't see paying Pentax price. Several reports that I've seen rated many of the ebay clones better made than the original. Chose this one for price and location. Ordered 1 morning, got email confirmation i...

Funny PPG thread
Coker, one of various things which distinguished AA's work was his mastery of zones. This was a mastery which was throughout his work from camera to darkroom: the resulting prints have a marvellously rich variety of tones with a full tonal range. Screens, especially with their different calibrations...

Photography or Graphic Art?
That Miksang group is interesting, and I love that style of photography. But they are making very conscious choices about how they represent 'the world out there' through the way they frame their shots, what they focus on, the sorts of subjects they choose. So the 'reality' they represent is also hi...
