some panorama portrait orientation advice please
No. This was taken with 16-45 on tripod and the untouched files were fed into PS. Manual focus and exposure were used.That is a full 180 deg inside Durham Cathedral. I think you will have problems with a tiled floor.I have used the method Barrie describes outdoors and it worked well. John

Taking photography to new extemes?
Many teachers (and mothers) seem to have eyes in the back of their head - this gives a whole new meaning to it :D. A bit too extreme for me, but artists suffer for their art. Of course a whole host of the photos will be of his pillow, and living in New York, probably of his woolly hat :lol:.

George. you truely bless me with your blasts. It really does get the grey matter moving. When I first read your post I thought it was after three or more Bowmore's. ( What is that stuff!!). Just back from a cruise to the continental Christmas markets. Mostly -10 or more. Couldn't use the K5...

Just popped back on the forum to have a look round and was lucky enough to stumble on this thread. I've missed you George.

For once, John, I do not follow your logic. If the manufacturers quote a temperature range it is for very sound reasons. Electronics are temperature sensitive. Maybe in the short term the equipment might cope but what in the long term. What I experienced could only be due to the temperatur...

Pentax retailer in London
I went in there once as it was near my university at the time. I found the service poor to put it mildly. I went in and asked for advice on a flash with off camera function and ended up in high pressure sales situation, being told the flash I have now (which is great btw) was crap (ie they didn't ...

Pentax EVIL - any rumours?
As title really, any rumours regarding a potential Pentax EVIL camera? I'd be happy if they just took the mirror out of a kx, added a pelicile mirror, added a mic jack, added a heat synch to the sensor, and an articulated lcd to it and called it a day. just keep the regular k mount. a couple more al...

Capturing dark skin
Meter carefully. watch for shiny highlights. better to slightly over expose then pull back in post processing. here you'll find a couple examples I did recently: the best technique I know of for dark skin, involves polarizing your light source and a polarizer on your lens to have control o...

Capturing dark skin
Never would have thought of using a polariser - don't think the teenagers are very happy about the shoot and I need to work fast and with a black background - they are quite insistent about that. I will try to talk them round to a white background after I have a few acceptable shots. So natural l...

Capturing dark skin
a shoe flash should be able to throw a wide enough beam.......just be careful not to get it hitting the lens straight on or you'll get lens flare. you really need to get proficient with your lighting set ups before you shoot an impatient subject... practice before the day and post some sample shots...

Advice about monitor
Radiation from CRTs has not been an issue for some time. I know of a monochrome VDU which might give off the odd X ray if you wound the EHT {high voltage) up as far as it would go, but that was in the eighties. I specifically referred to all wavelengths. CRTs run distinctly hotter than LCDs and thus...

ink-jet printer card blanks
Gwyn - have a look at Greeting Card Factory Deluxe 8 - seems to be a relatively easy to use package for producing cards - covers printing front and back, adding graphics etc. My wife uses an older version for special cards - my images, her imagination etc. Not used it for post cards - do that in MS...

Pentax Stereo Adapter 49mm Lens
I don't think the lens is included :( He's also stated it will fit a Contax so he must know the lens comes off. Anyone bidding had better get confirmation. These usually go for about £50 :shock: In a question to the seller regarding the part and asking for more informations on the cameras he ha...

SRS Advice
Chris - as SRS only take payment when they ship the item - I always back up the order with an email to make sure they realise I am a member and apply the free postage. I know other members who did get charged the postage but got it refunded when they questioned it. Genuine mistakes - the guys at SRS...
