Photography - dumbed down
It is said that the best selling camera on the market is the iphone. Most mobile phones have cameras built in to them. As a result of this the general public has no idea on how to take a good photograph. When you see the results from these "cameras" everything is sharp from front to back. Fuji ha...

Will it count if I reach down and just jiggle the handle a bit then the "soft focus" bit of the recording will be mine :)

I suppose the photograph of the lupins is a reasonable example of dumbed down photography - under-exposed, out of focus with indifferent composition.

I suppose the photograph of the lupins is a reasonable example of dumbed down photography - under-exposed, out of focus with indifferent composition. Somebody needs to go to Specsavers, out of focus, underexposed it is not, or if it is then the K5 is a rubbish camera as it told me everything was rea...

Fair enough, although I wouldn't want to deny anyone the joy of photography just because it doesn't reach a standard. It's always been this way. The enthusiasts were small in number, had their own darkrooms, made very fine exhibition prints of possibly good but possibly boring subjects. The famil...

I still cant make it in focus but, Then you defintely need to go to Specsavers. The bottom third of the largest lupin is in focus, or John Riley is correct, the camera is lying!:D

Don't drag me into this, I'm not aware I have ever suggested your camera is lying to you. However, your lupin is largely out of focus, even if some parts may be approximately in focus. Is the objective of this thread to just wind people up? If so, why? If not, what is the objective?

Oh dear, and for all those years I thought the photographer told the camera what to do... Oh No :shock::shock: I thought that's what the green lozenge and the beep was for, to tell the photographer it was "All systems go" :roll: Exactly, green lozenge visible and beep, so I pressed the shutter and...

I like 'selective focus' but the area of the shot which is in focus - the lower third - is just not the optimal part of the shot which ought to be sharp. You would ideally want the whole bloom in focus, but certainly the central part. Appreciate the shot was taking as part of the learning curve u...

Ouch, dropped it.
Just picked up my K5 and the strap caught around the corner of the table and pulled it out of my hand as I walked away. The camera hit the hard floor lens first. Camera seems fine but the DA 16-45 is hurting. It will not focus now as the focusing ring is solid and the zoom ring only turns half way....

I'd look around for an unsold DA 16-45 - first 17-70 I picked up wouldn't focus - poor sod who would have bought it from Jessops in Richmomd would have complained about dud focussing....:roll:

Shutter release cable???
I only use the IR remote. On the K10D it was not any good for long exposures, however with settings on the K7 for one press to open shutter and one press for closing it again. Also, on a tripod, there is the 2 second mirror lock up on IR remote, so a cable release has never been a part of my DSL...

What is the safest archive media ?
From what I've read, CD/DVD work by 'lasering' a dye layer sandwiched inside the disk, thus their life time is limited by the stability of the dye (sound familiar to anyone...). That of course excludes the very real risk that many disks aren't written properly in the first place. I'm keeping mine...
