Long Exposure Outdoor Photography / ND filters?
Hey everyone, I'm looking to have a go at some outdoor long exposure photography. I know it's been done to death by others but I'd like to finally give it a go myself, in particular photographing running rivers and the sea in order to get that blurred effect of the water, whilst keeping the landsc...

Long Exposure Outdoor Photography / ND filters?
I have an ND10 filter from B+W (german). You can get some nice effects with it, but of course - - once you fit it you can't see anything through the viewfinder, so you need to use the camera on a tripod (which you'll need anyway, since the exposure times are so great) frame the shot and then fit t...

How sensitive is your camera?
I'd imagine that there is light loss with the K/Q adapter much as there is with an extension tube. The light loss you get with the different viewing angles of the various focal lengths is taken care of by f numbers. The light loss you get from extension tubes is because your magnifying the view and ...

How sensitive is your camera?
Centre weighted metering offers a more easily reliable method, coupled with exposure compensation where necessary. Hope that helps. I think given the decent dynamic range of modern sensors, John's advice above is sufficient. You can claw back up to 5 stops of under exposure on the K-5 so there's ...

How sensitive is your camera?
Shooting digital is a little like shooting fast reversal film, there's not a lot of headroom in the exposure, a 1/3rd of stop can make a visible difference to the amount of data collected. Maximising image quality with digital has as much, if not more, to do with the the A/D converter and bit dep...

Advice Please - Pixel Interpolation in PDCU?
I think it has been a common practice to refer to the Pentax Utility programme as 'Silkypix', which is not strictly accurate. There is some branding in PDCU which says 'Powered by Silkypix', but the two programmes are many miles apart. I'm assuming that PDCU as it is will continue and be updated ...

Advice Please - Pixel Interpolation in PDCU?
there have been numerous forum comments concerning installation issues, and people ending up back with version 4.35 Google 'PDCU 4.40' or 'Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4.40' and you will readily locate a download source. Installation was painless for me and it updated my version 4.1 in no time at ...

Advice Please - Pixel Interpolation in PDCU?
I think a piece on the PDCU would be very welcome. I use it for all RAW files ahead of any changes in Serif Photoplus. I have found out how to use many of the possibilities by trial and error. One thing I do miss. It would be great if we had some of the digital filters in PDCU. I have been looking o...

Advice Please - Pixel Interpolation in PDCU?
On my K7 there are a number of special effects, such as 'star light'. It would be useful to be able to apply these on the PDCU as this preserves the original. The alternative is to create a file after using PDCU, put the memory card back in the camera and then apply the filter which is rather too mu...

Advice Please - Pixel Interpolation in PDCU?
1) if you go back to the Pentax Japan website, navigate to the Downloads page and then change the view to the JAPANESE language version. THEN hit the PBLU0440 link and scroll down to the download button on the left of the page as on the English page it will offer you (in English!) the option to down...

Advice Please - Pixel Interpolation in PDCU?
Yes Tony, I was going to correct myself - I found in my K7 Magic Lantern Guide references to the 'in-camera filters', accessed through the playback mode on the LCD. Some that were mentioned included Toy Camera, Retro, Soft Focus, Water Colour etc. I guess these could be more accurately describes as ...

Monitor/Print Brightness Problem
The free option is to try and adjust your monitor brightness so that the image on screen looks similar to the print (i.e. they are both dark). Then adjust the on screen image in photoshop/lightroom, etc until the exposure looks correct. Now, fingers crossed if you print again, the print will c...

Monitor/Print Brightness Problem
Thanks everyone. Am I right in saying (or not) that a screen calibration tool such as the Spyder4Express (which I'm thinking of getting) will profile my monitor for colours but not for brightness? Also, going back to the film days when received prints always looked different depending which lab y...

Basic steps taken from website are: 1 In your image editing application, open a new, blank document with a white background. Open this document in full-screen mode so that most of ...
