The tired, hackneyed and cliched
As my father taught me...there is something beautiful and interesting in everything you see...you just have to look for it. That is how I view other people's pictures..but I don't need to tell them what and how I saw it. There is nothing more destructive to my creativity and imagination than t...

The tired, hackneyed and cliched
You can tell when a Lakeland picture is hackneyed when the only response it produces is a tired "Oh, God, not another boring Lakes picture". Ah but this is my point. If a Lakes picture is exposed and composed well (and many (including most of mine) aren't), then that's never my reaction. I may n...

Infra red photography
TBH: I never though of IR photography whenever I've been over in Thailand. As soon as you step out of Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, you are met by a blaze of colours - from phosphorus-pink taxis, and brightly-decorated tuk-tuks, to the people wearing shirts in the same colours as the king chooses...

No need to wait. I'm a repeat customer. This is my fourth order and I'm very pleased with the quality. My first set of prints came back dark, but that was my fault as my monitor wasn't calibrated.

Johnsons Photopia
I've used them in the past and found them to be prompt, though they fixed the reason I sent it off for it came back with another fault. Sent it back again and they ended up replacing the whole unit.

Johnsons Photopia
Only used them once for a warranty repair on my k-5, was told 10 to 15 working days arrived back within 7 I think. Called the for original claim and again for follow up, both handled professionally. I used Johnson's in Glasgow, totally different business, before for a lens repair and they wher...

Johnsons Photopia
My camera went to Johnsons for a warrany repair (lens release fell off) and came back as a manual focus camera. They had re-assembled it incorrectly.It does not give me any faith whatsoever in the quality of their work, and I would certainly never use them for a paid-for repair. It's now back at Mat...

Johnsons Photopia
I've had various things fixed by them (yes, I'm clumsy). The lens repair was glacially slow. The camera repair was quick, but they didn't check it actually wrote anything to the memory card and so I had to send it back again... :( K.

Johnsons Photopia
I'd echo others' experience - I used them for a warranty repair. It took 3-4 weeks with no information coming back (I only found they'd received it by ringing them) but the workmanship was impeccable when the camera finally reappeared.

Johnsons Photopia
Had a K100d Super fixed by them when my daughter dropped it. The main board was replaced and new top section of body. Repair was excellent with camera looking and working like new. Because Johnsons is local to me there was no delay in posting etc and communication was good - took about 10 days in to...

Is This A Common Problem?
If it was dark, even a K-5 will struggle! Try using flash turned down a bit and a slow shutter speed of 1/25 or so (switch on slow synch in the flash settings). RAW images retail a mass of original data so you can change the sharpening, white balance etc. in post processing, or you can even retrie...

Is This A Common Problem?
It was an experiment really.(an alcohol fueled experiment)I moved the ISO around 400 to 3200.I turned up the EV to +3( but it seems that would not affect a RAW file). It was a rock band on a small stage and they were trying to put some energy in to it so 1/25 would not have worked IMHO.Noise reducti...

Is This A Common Problem?
One of the questions from the Original Poster was about whether some settings would affect the RAW file. We've had a thread about this a while back when I first joined when I asked about applying chromatic abberation corrections in camera. What I learned from all that and further experimenting, ...
