The perfect shot
Here we all are trying to get that shot! The perfect shot, but what is the perfect shot there is no shot that’s ever going to be perfect! Because i.e. Out of 100 people you take the photo too! That you think is the perfect shot and 99 people say the same as you they do like it, But one of them says ...

You need to fly from Manchester for La Palma I believe. It ain't as cheap as the other islands though. But then it's not as crowded, and a lot greener too. If ever you do go try and stay on the west side of the island. We've practically given up on Cuba for winter sun and will probably go back t...

We've practically given up on Cuba for winter sun and will probably go back to La Palma again. Either that or we'll go in June for a big festival there with lots of dogs of the same breed as one of ours. A lot depends on whether my husband's contract gets renewed or not at the end of the year. Would...

We hired a car and drove up Mnt Teide but the higher we got the cloudier it became and in the end my wife decided she didnt want to carry on and made me turn back. Was quite relieved actually as I couldn't see a bloody thing and all the little crosses on the side of the road where cars had driven of...

Well, the holiday was fabulous - not one drop of rain or overcast day, save for one day when we went to the capital 'city', Santa Cruz. It was drizzly in the north of the island, but we left our base in the south in bright sunshine and returned to it after our visit! El Medano was close by, and y...

"Is Photography Art?"
Doesn't mean the image isn't decent, just means its not Art. I don't mind having my chain yanked... allow me to yank back :) I think this is rubbish. It might not be good art, or original, interesting to others, or the foundation for a financially rewarding career as a professional artist. Bu...

Someone mentioned this competition Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/1895182/david-chancellor-wins-taylor-wessing-photographic-portrait-prize I recall seeing the 2nd prize gaining print in the nationals a few weeks back wa...

"Is Photography Art?"
Snaps can be art, of course. You hit upon the perfect composition, perfect colour, etc etc its art. And you never manage it again. The Constable is lovely, and painting it is easier than CWyatt waiting until his subjects are in the light. It's artistic licence. But the very dabbling with the ...

screwdrive
It's the method Pentax first used for auto focus. The focus motor is in the camera body and the screw drive transfers the motion into the lens to move the glass elements that actually focus the image. It's the little round peg bottom right as you look at the front of the camera mount. Now they seem ...

Monopod Head
Given the nature of a monopod - you have to support it most of the time - I'd suggest you need a really simple head with only a single adjustment, such as this http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/3200/Manfrotto-234RC-Tilt-Monopod-Head.html. I use one of these, and support the camera with my left ha...

Is The Price Right In The UK
I was selling my DA* 55mm on here a few months ago (had no interest whatsoever)as it was so slow to focus on my k10D but to be honest I doubt I would now having used it on the K-5. Totally different lens.

Is The Price Right In The UK
Why are Pentax lenses cheaper in the USA? Are we being ripped off in the UK ? Have you only just moved here? :lol: Almost everything in the UK is a ripoff. When I first moved here I couldn't believe the prices for some things. My water bill went from £30 (thirty) per year to £400 per year. Petrol...

Is The Price Right In The UK
Almost everything in the UK is a ripoff. When I first moved here I couldn't believe the prices for some things. My water bill went from £30 (thirty) per year to £400 per year. Petrol was twice the price. Tobacco was 4x the price. Last year while visiting my parents I posted a 30kg box back here, it ...

Photographic ambitions for next 6 months...
Where to begin? 1. Take the camera out at least once without the Sigma 10-20 and a CPL attached (it has become an addiction!) 2. Start remembering to check the ISO and stop wrecking 100s of shots because it is still set to 3200!! 3. Keep resisting the temptation to buy a K5 and keep telling mys...

Profits from Purchases?
It make sense for the vendor Ken, but not so for the seller. I have recently been bitten by this one on another forum. Back toward the original post, I have noticed that there are a few people here who only buy and sell things - they do not take any other part on the forum.

Profits from Purchases?
[quote:3496ace15f="Mannesty"] This is what I've been doing lately, although I sell them back on generally on Ebay. I bought my mint Pentax-F 50mm f1.7 on Ebay delivered for £40. If I sell it, it won't be that price :wink: Blimey, that's a good price Gareth. Kudos! Was there a reason the price wa...

Profits from Purchases?
So, Amin, we're all (well, most) of us waiting for another good deal. Any chance you could pop down to Heathrow and come back with a shed-load of K5s for about £700.00 apiece? We'll grudgingly allow you to make 30 bob on the deal. :D G
