Aren't they difficult to photograph?! I haven't got one useable image form last night. They are either all under exposed, or out of focus. The only ones anywhere near in focus have too much motion blur!! Still, I suppose it means I don't have to spend all evening processing them!

Yes they are. I photograph with a tripod, bulb setting and cable release with manual focus preset, judging exposures rather haphazardly. That way I enjoy the display in the normal way too and worry about the photos later.

Fireworks!
Bit late for this year now, but manual mode, f8, 10 sec exposure and ISO 100 works well on a tripod with remote release. Got some nice shots with this set up on my K5 with the DA*50-135. As it was the first time I'd shot the location (a friends roof), didn't get the focal length right initially and...

If interested in more examples see my earlier thread, where I got some good results and described what exposure settings I used. https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/fireworks--30273 Also, as somebody here mentioned, use manual focus, preset it and leave it where it is. Never try to use autofoc...

Urgent Assistance from video-ers please
I have been roped into filming the nativity. I have never even used the video function on my K5. The "film" will be the official disc given out to the kids parents. It appears that a manual lens would be best for good focus control and silent operating- I was thinking something ultra wide- there ...

Urgent Assistance from video-ers please
Good idea using a regular video camera for the master shot, and getting a continuous recording of the audio. If all else fails you'll have a record of the performance! But you'll also be free to take closer shots with your K5 and fast lens and not have to worry about messy starts and finishes to tak...

Urgent Assistance from video-ers please
the 50 -135 is perfect... the 50 f2 definately good lens... the venue and your shooting position should tell you if you need the longer reach of the zoom, or if you can get away with the prime.. you 'll need to set both camera to manual focus. and check your exposure settings..and color balance......

What are the best five lenses? See article. I can't. I would have quite happily subscribed to the magazine but then unfortunately it became defunct and the web content hasn't really enticed me yet. I think enabling unlimited uploads to the gallery has reduced its quality. I agree with the earl...

Is this really what PUP is for?
I can't see the magazine coming back, unless the new Pentax Ricoh company want to pay for it, as it was I think costing money to produce. There have always been unlimited uploads for PU subscribers, so nothing has changed in that respect, so I don't see how that in itself would affect quality. ...

What you haven't included Peter is that there is then a link to the EPZ review of each lens. In other words, it's a reminder to bring those reviews back to our attention. Although there's nothing exciting about it if you've already read them, it might help newer members realise there are artic...

Well I'd argue that you are a PU customer Chris, you use a PU product (the forum) which is supplied to you at no charge. Now what is that saying .... ah yes, the customer is always right. That is what the sign by the cash register says.... but you should hear what gets said about the customers ...

camera settings
Hi Brian AV is aperture priority, this means you set the depth of field & from that the camera works out the shutter speed for correct exposure. The aperture (f/ number) depends on what you want to shoot, so for landscapes where you want everything in focus use a small aperture (larger number)...

ND filters explained for novices
+1 I've struggled with it as well to be honest, but probably haven't used it enough for a fair trial. Biggest problem for me was that it doesn't seem to exclude enough light to make it useful, but that might be me as well. I'll try to use it over the next couple of weeks and report back.
