9/11 photographers
Powerful photos indeed. I come from a part of the world which has suffered, and is still suffering, from the aftermath of this momentous event. Since the American 'War on Terror' started, Pakistan (my home country) has lost more than 30,000 people in terrorist related incidents - roughly 10 people ...

9/11 photographers
Exactly. We decent people here care about any innocent lives lost. I think what Naim meant with 'no one cares' was in regards to the lack of care from the Western politician-Media Alliance. And this is nothing to do with politics, but to do with a care for humanity. Something that should never be...

Pentax's future: Is the writing on the wall?
According to everything I have read Ricoh bought Pentax to get back into the DSLR side of things. If you consider how many Pentax owners there are in relation to Ricoh I think it would be suicide to do away with the name. Personally I'm not worried if the next camera is branded Ricoh or Pentax as...

Pentax's future: Is the writing on the wall?
I heard that they are going to change the name to Ricohigh :mrgreen: :wink: As long as it's not Ricochet and bounces back at them with dire consequences ;)

My "new" toy!
My father used to have that exact tripod, am I right in thinking the legs have spring loaded studs that hold them open? you press them in to push the legs back up. It would have been bought in the early 60s I reckon.

Lightroom profiles
Have you done a general "clean-up" of your PC? Specifically, with one of the programs that get rid of all cookies, and similar things? I have just had something similar happen to me - it even removed the 'Remember Me' username from my webmail. Suggestion 1 - rewind Windows back to a day just befo...

Firmware update for Ricoh GR DIGITAL III
GX10/20 owners were (still are) tollerated on this forum as basically they are the same camera as the K10/20, dont think they could post images in the gallery though? I think the word tollerated is a bit harsh :lol: I think it was quite an appropriate word:twisted::twisted::twisted: Come back S...

Backgrounds and support stands
Its a good price but 2m wide isn't very wide at all! It may seem so until you bring your subject away from the background to knock it out of focus. I use this one which is way more expensive but you need 12ft wide to get a group of four on it. You also need proper photographic sandbags on the stan...

Light aircraft and CPL
Having spent a week in the Outback of NSW & SA, I've come back with some photos that include - with water in it. It's been wet there two years running (pardon the pun) - that is rare in European history AFAIK. Given it's isolated and remote, the only way I could take pictures of it was to fly...

Achieving sharpness and IQ
I too felt my K10D with 18-55mm lens was letting me down. A number of members had commented on "out of focus" or similar. This was apparent even when tripod mounted. A new Sigma 90mm gave similar results I've since checked the front/back focus of the camera and adjusted it accordingly and the ...

I've been writing a reply during the day, just come back to it, clicked on preview and the whole :evil: lot has disappeared! Start again....... ....might want to upgrade to the WR version. Getting familiar with the lens' in this category is on the agenda. I've only ever previously use prime lens...

Full Frame for the Insecure?
Certainly agree. Whats main reason(s) you would never be without one? Well lets go back to May 2009 when I bought a D700. My initial "want" was for lower noise and true wide glass with the future purchase of long fast glass. The D700 fit the bill and I consider Pentax and Nikon as siblings. Canon ki...

Full Frame for the Insecure?
ie without the 1.5 crop which makes their focal length less useful and increases dof. Can someone explain this? I've heard it said many times, but I don't understand it. The out-of-focus-ness of the subject is surely the same on the sensor, with the same lens at the same distance from the came...

Full Frame for the Insecure?
Where telephoto fans gain with a cropped sensor, landscape enthusiasts are short changed, but, as I say, it's not a big deal for me, really, which is just as well, as I'll never be able to afford a FF body. Funny I was discussing this with my landscape enthusiast pal at work this afternoon, I was up...

That's really cool. Does anyone have any suggestions for focus stacking software? I don't have Photoshop and don't plan on buying it anytime soon ...
