Lightroom V3.2 import question
Hi Stefan, Once I've selected the files to be imported and click "Import" then the hourglass pointer appears and the wait starts, say five min, if I perchance then click on any area of the workspace whilst waiting the screen fades and I get a message from Windows "The program is not responding "W...

The frenzied clacking of mirrors!
The frenzied clacking of mirrors! Since getting back into photography I've taken much interest in the snapping of those lackeys of the Elite, the Politicians while being interviewed. Ed Miliband was on tonight and I couldn't help notice the amount of billion FPS machine gunning. The noise the ...

Printers??? and Printing Photos
pentaxian450 wrote You don't need to spend a lot of cash. Most printers today do a terrific job. The important part is to make sure everything "talks the same language", i.e. use the same color space everywhere, and calibrate both printer and display. The Color Munki Photo is a good product that al...

Printers??? and Printing Photos
The biggest problem is that the screen is back illuminated so it appears different then printed media. You can get an estimate how the print will be with soft proofing but it does not replace a test print in my eyes.

Skills vs Camera vs Lense.
is it because their photo are more artistic or creative than us? or how hard they do it because of lack of tech that time? same lens,same way of taking picture but different body....will it make a difference???? It depends. For low light a body with a good sensor can give less noisy pictures o...

Spyder3Express
I would suggest a Spyder Express (or Pantone Huey - which is slightly easier to install) and Argyll CMS and dispCalGUI. HTH! Matt Has anyone on here managed to get the latest dispCalGUI to work with the latest Argyll CMS under XPPro SP3? I couldn't get dispCalGUI to recognise Huey so I've had...

External hard drive recommendations
I use a Verbatim 2tb drive. It is designed as a RAID system - 2 x mirrored 1tb but you can use it as a straight 2tb. Main advantage is that it has a large built in fan. Most external hard drives do not have fans and get very hot. I did have a Seagate 1tb drive but had to send it back bec...

External hard drive recommendations
I've been using a 500gb Clickfree unit for a couple of years without any problems. It automatically backs up all data files when it's plugged into a USB socket and keeps the back-ups for up to 10 PCs separate without user involvement. There's no indication of which brand of HD it uses but it will ce...

I have recently invested in a Synology Diskstation DS210j fitted with two 2TB HDDs. It is configured as a hybrid RAID so that if one disk fails data integrity is maintained. It acts as a LAN fileserver and has sufficient capacity to back up my desk top computer and all my photo files. It has a l...

Connecting to a laptop for macro
While the K-7 does not support tethering so you cannot control the camera from the computer, you can connect the K-7 to a laptop, TV or monitor with a HDMI cable and that allows you to see what the camera sees in Live View or on playback. In other words, instead of viewing on the 3 inch screen on th...

Tamrac v Kata
I've used a Kata DR-467 for almost 2 years now. Upon arrival I was suspicious of it's durability and protection because it is very light compared to similar backpacks from other manufacturers and the main straps seemed to have weak stitching where they exit the top of the bag. I can honestly say tha...

White Balance / Colour correction tools
So does the Expodisc work when the camera is in shade and the subject is in bright light? I assume it does, but have to ask. You use it like an incident light meter where you take the camera to the subject and point it back to where your going to use the camera from. Press the green button to get a ...

Good luck with your new camera whatever it will be, Be carefull what you wish for, I yearned after a FF camera for ages then got my 5D. After about a month of using it i've now gone back to APS and bought a GX-20 which i'm perfectly happy with it. After using FF for a while I realised there...

back in the medium format film days... there came along a point where 35mm lenses had more resolving power than the best medium format lenses, and combined with film advances, pro 35 lenses and film were matching medium format for print quality up to 20x30........ to this day there are those that a...

No more Pentax for me!...
You'll have fun with m43 - my GF1 is a replacement for what was a pretty decent compact (which I sold in part exchange), and I have never once regretted making the move. In particular, it's the ability to do more with selective focus and depth of field that makes such a difference compared to a poi...

I used to think I really needed a FF camera, so just last month I sold my K10d and bought a Canon 5D Mk1. One thing I do like is the bigger view finder. Noise level's at high ISO's was better Thats about it really, image quality is not noticible any better. The ergonomics are awfull co...
