K5 Problem - Am I Unreasonable?
Approx two months ago my favourite Tammy failed. It was 8 months old, so I took it back to the dealer for a warranty repair. 4 weeks later the dealer called me and informed that the lens is still under repair (at Tamron Europe, Germany) and offered me a similar Sigma lens free for the remaining peri...

Shooting a birthday event - What camera settings please?
Hello people. Due to cold weather and work commitment, I haven't used my camera for a good number of months now, and handling my Kx just kinda feels weird today - should be expected I guess. A family member has asked me to help cover a birthday event, however I am not so sure what to do from here...

Shooting a birthday event - What camera settings please?
Indoors with auto flash I'd normally shoot in aperture priority (Av) or manual (M). Your kit should be good for that the only down side is the 360 lacks a portrait orientation swivel (something I really wish Pentax would address). K-x with 18-55 and AF360FGZ pointed up* to bounce off the celling...

Shooting a birthday event - What camera settings please?
You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. I have been playing with the camera and giving myself a crash-course, it appears some of the techniques are starting to come back to me now. lol. I have taken on board what you have all contributed so far. I think the [P] Programme mode and Aperture priori...

Shooting a birthday event - What camera settings please?
Thank you guys. You post and advises has been a tremendous helo in fast-tracking me to grasping the basics again. Based on the various advice give so far I have opted I now have a rough plan as follows: Shoot in Av mode (shifting between Manual and Auto focus when necessary) and to do a few sh...

World to see BIGGEST full moon in two decades. Ready your telephotos!
My favorite review: Unfortunately I already had this exact picture tattooed on my chest, but this shirt is very useful in colder weather. I photographed a girl with it tattoed on her back. True! I must dig it out and post it.

Mifsuds have a few used lenses for sale
I think they'll struggle to sell that 10-17 fisheye for £399, its only £10 more brand new from SRS:D I was having a play with one at Focus and I have to say I am very tempted despite reviews claiming it suffers from quite bad CA.

Smeggy's Lightroom Workflow
Don't use Lightroom as I'm an Aperture user, so don't know if you have the same options, but don't see why you need an external utility to rename your files, surely Lightroom should handle it? Aperture, on import, can rename the RAWs and dump them in any folder you like. Might be worth checking ...

Yeah Lightroom does do renaming, but it's a kludge compared to the AF5 renamer. The utility is much much q...

Smeggy's Lightroom Workflow
I've got a few hundred Panasonic 9.4GB Cartridge disks (Double sided) going back probably 10 years and only had problems with ONE and I recovered the files off that with CDRoller. It was probably MS Explorer that caused the problem. The single non cartridge disks don't seem as reliable so I also mak...

Thomas Shahan's Introduction to High Magnification Macro Photography
Great video and pictures. I'm in awe of the fact he can take enough shots to make a focus stack of ten hand held! :shock:

Great video and pictures. I'm in awe of the fact he can take enough shots to make a focus stack of ten hand held! :shock: It's unlikely that a stack of 10 would be done by hand. It would need some sort of microscopic adjuster on the tripod.

Size matters
Just be aware there is a bug in LR 3.2 related to the 'limit file size' option. It will strip your exif! Supposedly this is a 'feature', but I've always believed in calling a spade a spade ;) . I think this was changed back in 3.3, but I have yet to upgrade. There is also a memory leak issue wit...

CS5, Lightroom 3.2 or both? Any Suggestions please.
Hi all, I just received my copy of Photoshop CS5 Extended for the work I did a few weeks back. I had the offer to get paid or to have a copy of CS 5 as the photographer I did the work for had a couple of spare serial numbers (yes they are sound and not generated). I be just blown away by all the...

CS5, Lightroom 3.2 or both? Any Suggestions please.
If you can only get one program i would go for CS5. Lightroom is basically a more fluid experience/package off bridge and Adobe Camera RAW and few other things. But the developing module is the same as Adobe Camera RAW that you find in CS5. So the things you can make with Lightroom you can also ma...

CS5, Lightroom 3.2 or both? Any Suggestions please.
Can you edit DNG files directly in CS5? Yes DNG opens directly from lightroom to photoshop and they work almost as PSD. You can even select several photos and directly merge them into panorama or HDR in photoshop, with PEF you first need to convert them. I don't believe you can save as DNG thoug...

Do you make photo books?
How many of you print your photos? Do you make books/albums of them? I've just collected the photo book I made of my Norwegian trip. I tend to make books of holidays, or occasionally of a photo series or theme. I use the print service of on of our major chain shops - Hema, rather than going for ...
