Exhibiting my photographs
True, PP, themes come through but they mostly result from my wandering about pretty aimlessly. I've always thought it would be a good idea to have a more definite focus, but have yet to get round to adopting this.

True, PP, themes come through but they mostly result from my wandering about pretty aimlessly. I've always thought it would be a good idea to have a more definite focus, but have yet to get round to adopting this. I like this idea. Not that I'm thinking of doing anything like the OP but I might try ...

Amazon basics back pack
I have one of these - it only cost £19. when I bought it. 8) it's very sturdy, well padded and comfortable to wear. Tons of space for me but I don't have many lenses to carry about. Kind regards Charlotte

1/2 or 1/3 EV stops?
I use 1/3 increments and almost always under rather than over with digital unlike film days when it was the other way round. Why? Well it's simply more control. If photographing such as a white flower to avoid burn out or if I want the out of focus background darker I use spot metering.

1/2 or 1/3 EV stops?
It all depends on what you are doing and as you say experimenting is the thing to do. I find spot metering and spot or manual focus the way with telephoto. The opposite when using my wide angle for landscape work.

New canon lens lol
You mean it's not available in PK-fit? Damn! ;) I quite like the idea of things like that, but I wouldn't pay anything near the price they're sold for. You can get some weird effects with some of the old off-brand manual focus lenses too, and i'd rather go down that route as they produce more usa...

Trying 'RAW' -- some queries.
The sliders only affect JPEGs, not RAW files. A photograph taken in good conditions and exposed correctly will often need very little adjustment in RAW. However, I find that levels and focus always benefit from some tweaking. RAW comes into its own when you don't get it right in camera. But ...

Trying 'RAW' -- some queries.
Btw, photoshop 7 will edit raw files. Maybe it hasn't got the right converter for your PEF files, but you can download it or simply shoot in DNG format. For me the main advantage of RAW is much better noise reduction. Especially with lightroom 3 but photoshop is also very good. You can also pull bac...

A winning photo and a party with Prince Charles
Congratulations Simon. It must have been a first class experience. You say your winning photo lay in the archives for a couple of years before you realised you had a gem in there. Perhaps we should all trawl back through our work of the past few years. David

Focus after you take the shot
http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/gaming.gadgets/06/22/auto.focus.camera/index.html?hpt=te_t1 I wonder how long before we see this in a Pentax?

Focus after you take the shot
That is remarkable. Focus bracketing is something which some compacts have already, and could be used in a similar way, but this is something new and amazing. Maybe they can put it in the next Q? :wink:

Focus after you take the shot
We were talking about this 3 years ago when the tech was first talked about. The interesting thing with the latest announcement is that there has been $50 million of venture capital secured to develop the tech. Interesting times ahead!

Focus after you take the shot
Guess the original shots had a large depth of field, and blurring is applied via software. Doesn't the Q offer some bokeh effect?

Focus after you take the shot
The Q does it with a filter or maybe through merging two shots with different focus settings (current Sony compacts do this). This is something else though. The gadget, which Lytro is calling a "light field camera," uses multiple internal lenses to capture much more light than a normal camera, at...

Focus after you take the shot
this will find it's way into surveillance and radar cameras first before it makes it's way into consumer cameras. the point and shoot crowd won't wanna pay more for a camera with this, and the d-slr crowd won't need it as long as they got lenses for thier existing system. But law enforcement and mi...

I wonder whether you could use this for focus stacking...?
