Do you make photo books?
Yes, I've made a few - I think that they're are really good idea, especially to look back at holidays etc. I have found that quality varies quite a bit, the best ones I've had here in the UK are made by CEWE Simon

Lightroom 3.3, some help PLEASE!
OK, so I worked my butt off this weekend and cached up with sleep yesterday and today I was presented with Lightroom 3.3 (learned a lot too but it was hard work this time round, but I do not complain as I got what I wanted):D. I got as far as importing a catalog in to a library that contains over 6...

Lightroom 3.3, some help PLEASE!
Probably worth getting hold of a copy of Martin Evening's book on LR3. The trick with LR is use the folders, keywords and flags etc to arrange your catalogue. I've got my source files in various folders on several different hard drives i.e. my overseas holiday images is on my F drive in folder...

Many thanks for all your comments. I am sure I gone wrong somewhere right from the start. Would have come back earlier but my connection suffered yesterday from constant outages, today it seems all OK again. I now have 3 (three) Catalog files one is 'All Photographs' then there is one 'Previous ...

Tripod Advices!?
I use . I used to but I wanted a Carbon Fiber Tripod so I sold this on feebay for £45.00 and got myself the Carbon Fiber version. Never looked back for a travel Tripod and the support is first class. Takes up to 8kg in weight and you can put any of the usual Heads on it, so if you got a head you ...

Tripod Advices!?
Surely you mean extended centre columns? I've used three tripods with them (not extended) now and they all seemed very stable. The RS even has a little retractable hook on the bottom of the centre column to hang some ballast from. He means if you have to use the centre column to get the height you n...

Tripod Advices!?
Well my need for the tripod is mainly for night time cityscape (imagine you are standing on an open-air observation platform on a tourist spot) Also for use to do multiple exposures for HDR photographies. Not in the market for bird-shooting at the moment, as I do not own any telephoto lenses :...

Tripod Advices!?
Whilst I still do not know what kit you are going to use, it does seem that weight and size are your important criteria, which will mean compromising on stability. In which case just about any carbon fibre tripod 'will do', your technique will be more important for stable shots. The observation plat...

Lexar ships first 128GB SDXC card
Do you shoot RAW+ Smeggy? Or machine gun mode? If not how on earth do you find time to fill 32 Gb in one day? :wink: Even in Norway taking photos from before 7 am until gone 11 pm I only managed 473 photos in a day. Just RAWs. No machine gunning either. last time I went to London I took 2000 shot...

Lexar ships first 128GB SDXC card
Still cameras are also coming in greater and greater pixels and if you shoot in RAW+ like me the card fills up pretty quickly. Like I say, taking Time Lapse pictures I have to change my card every 28 minutes. Also remember that even with the K5 you will have to update the firmware as it natively ...

Lexar ships first 128GB SDXC card
There's definitely s future for 128Gb cards. I fully agree. The next Pentax (K-3?) whenever it may come will probably come with a Full Frame Sensor and more then 20MP. Canon already is rumoured to bring out a new 5D MKIII or 6D with a Full Frame Sensor and 24MP. Nikon has a new camera in the mill ...

Please can you guys comment on how i can better my images. Problems I am having are getting the correct focus. Getting fast shutter speeds without the lens be...

bird advice from bird Photographers
Birds make up a large part of my photography and my technique has been improving gradually since I started photography again about 3 years ago. I could take the easy route, set up feeders and wait for the little blighters to flutter in, but I much prefer the challenge of photographing them in their...

Tamrac ZipShot
It's rated by the manufacturer to support 1.35kg whereas the heaviest body/lens combination I currently have is 1.21Kg. I accept that it's probably a bit wobbly but I'd be very surprised if it would actually fall over unless you mount a really unbalanced body/lens combo on it, give it a heavy kno...

Tamrac ZipShot
You should never put the maximum weight on a tripod, certainly not on ones like the zipshot - manufacturers usually over estimate that. And the height is hopeless, unless you like an aching back, or are very short. Well I'm not the tallest (5'6") but I must admit the height would most likely have...

Bokeh, 85mm soft 2.2
I'd say that's rather lovely and simply needs a decent follow focus to make the most of it.... Bret
