Ultra wide photography guide, please...
The thing is... Objects can be out of focus but the bokeh has a small radius as it isn't magnified a lot. You need to get in really close to get larger boken with UWA.

Pictures of flowers and insects
You see, some of the images this thread has generated are outstanding. They are head and shoulders above the majority of flower and insect shots that I have seen on here. I don't personally like snaps of birds and flowers. They are boring and lack impact and IMHO I dont see the point of them. I wou...

Pictures of flowers and insects
Bloody ell, Whitehall Road, that brings back memories. Agreed - about your time there - nothing at all about the actual series of photos Lovely, more pictures of flowers. At least these are dying off. Ah yes - very true - nothing about the textures that the OP captured ? Nice interesting pictu...

Cheap high performance card
Sorry to be a grouch here, but I tried two Transcend 8GB class 10 cards in my K-x last year and both gave me problems. Fine most of the time, but then an image would fail to save properly, so I eventually gave up and got my money back. Perhaps I was just unlucky, but I didn't want to risk losing sho...

Thanks guys for the feed back this shot has frustrated me many times. I dont have a copy of photoshop yet but may be able to work something out in Serif. Ian

Variable ND filters?
Hi, I have just bought a Pentax 28mm f2.8 Soft focus lens. It works well. Sometimes however when I like to use it at F2.8 tom get the full effect, I run out of fast shutter speeds, or my flash is to strong. I want to use a ND filter. Has anybody used the Variable ND filters? If so, ca...

Variable ND filters?
They were both by the same designer anyway (Hirakawa). He did file a patent in the 90's for another soft focus lens, but it never reached production. It looks to me like the soft design of the 28mm was achieved by replacing the aspherical element in the FA 28mm f2.8 AL with a more conventiona...

there are still rumours about Pentax Evil Cameras..
Unfortunately I only have two Auto 110 lenses :( Depending on which two you could still hit the jackpot. The 18mm panfocal/focus free and the zoom seem to be the rarest. I've got a couple of working bodies, the 18mm and 24mm lenses, and the tan leather case which was sold to carry a complete system.

PhotoShop vs Paint Shop Pro
I used to use PSP X2 until it stopped working on my computer, and was happy enough with it. However, whatever I tried I couldn't get it to work again. I gather that these kind of technical problems aren't uncommon with PSP. After this I installed a copy of PSE I'd got free with my Wacom tablet a...

PhotoShop vs Paint Shop Pro
I used PSP X2 and it worked fine with my K10d. I then bought a GX20 and was horrified that all my shots were massively overexposed, which I put down to being my fault. Some months later I took some moon shots and couldn't understand why they were coming out grey. I decided to download the tri...

PhotoShop vs Paint Shop Pro
We have both PSP 11 and PSE 9 and have to say we think it's 'horses for courses' We find PSP easier to use and more iniuitive but it does crash on occasion. It also seems better if you want to do 'graphics' enhancements e.g. drawing a proposed conservatory onto a pic of the back our house for a...

PhotoShop vs Paint Shop Pro
I use Lightroom for most of my work. I used Photoshop Elements 2 up until a week ago for anything more complicated. Hugin for panoramas and a few other bits here and there. I now use Photoshop Elements 9 as it is the first one to really bring significant changes. I use it more now as I can bum...

So that's why so many good products and operating systems etc. get replaced by rubbish! and a few icons resembling Matel Toys! :shock: I wish we could get back to the days when manufacturers simply turned out the best they could like Dyson did with the vacuum cleaner :cry: I think Dyson need ...

Quantum time shift bracketing, so you can shoot morning, afternoon, evening and night shift scenes simultaneously without having to wait or come back later...:D

K5 split Camera Split prism screen, please, please, please ....... Seconded! OK so there's KatzEye but it would be nice to have the option of a Pentax one that works with spot metering. But isn't that the problem? You're asking for the AE Metering sensor to be moved below the focus screen.

But isn't that the problem? You're asking for the AE Metering sensor to be moved below the focus screen. I know it currently affects spot metering. But not to the degree that it's unusable. So Pentax could easily add corrections for it in the firmware; e.g a menu option where one can select the typ...

How about they produce the same (or a similar) effect in the viewfinder electronically. I use liveview a lot for focus confirm, but I don't like holding the camera like that, and the way it's set up is a pain. At least let us enlarge the central part of the image leaving the rest unaffected, Pen...
