Lightroom 4 AND Photoshop?
I would be happy if they replaced the camera raw in elements with the one from lightroom, as you can open editor or organizer separately they can leave the organizer in. I dont need anything as powerfull as the full version of photoshop, it would be wasted on me. I think the catalog part of lightro...

Lightroom 4 AND Photoshop?
My preferred way of working is to create a new catalogue for each significant collection of images. Multiple catalogues causes a complete nightmare if you keyword your images as you can have only one catalogue open at a time. There really is no need to create more than one catalogue. Depends on ...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
Hi all, Not posted anything here for a while but I've been lurking! I am off to Iceland next week. Hoping to get some northern lights shots (and also lots of general landscape, mountains, glaciers etc!) I was wondering if anyone has any tips? I'll be taking my standard 18-55 kit lens. But n...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
I'm off to Sweden for Northern Lights shots in Feb and have been reading intensively. Most useful site I found was this - http://www.alaskaphotographyblog.com/how-to-photograph-the-northern-lights-with-a-digital-camera/ My tips - If you use a UV filter, take it off. Take lots of spare batterie...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
As long as you have a tripod I don't think a wide aperture is a necessity. The kit lens should do just fine. Thanks David. I think I'll save the cash in that case. I certainly will be taking a tripod so should be all good on that front. I don't imagine I'll be wanting to shoot at anything other th...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
OK as regards manual focus the traditional advice is that autofocus won't work 'cos its too dim (K30 is supposed to be good in low light but even then...). I'd be very wary about just whacking the lens on infinity - easy to knock it in the dark and then all your shots are out, you may only realise w...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
Hi guys! I'm back. Sad times. :( But Iceland is amazing! Everyone should go. We had 3 nights of lights, two in Skaftafell (first 3 photos) and one in Skálavegur (last photo). I doubt the lights we saw were anything that the locals would get too excited about but we loved it. Strong enough ...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
The other thing I wanted to do on this thread was give feedback to all the people who helped me out before I went on the trip. Hopefully if I just jot down a few thoughts it might help people like PaulEvans who are off to shoot the lights later this winter. For forecasts we used and the . I th...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
Eddy, thanks very much for all these detailed notes, some really useful stuff here - including the ones about turning down the screen brightness, and a red light on the headtorch. I worry about focus too - think I'll take some test shots, zoom right in on image preview, adjust if necessary and then ...

Hi guys! I'm back. Sad times. But Iceland is amazing! Everyone should go. We had 3 nights of lights, two in Skaftafell (first 3 photos) and one in Skálavegur (last photo). All I can say is that if I'd have taken those images, I'd be mighty proud of myself. Nice job dude...a very nice ...

Shooting the northern lights with my k-30
Hi Adriana, Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this. The blur in the 30 second photos is caused by the movement of the stars (star trails). See this photo for an extreme example: https://www.pentaxuser.com/photo/user-15077/northern-lights-in-skaftafell-2-56534 This was with a 30 min...

Which RAW converter do you prefer?
This one of those impossible questions, because every body has their own preferences. It`s a bit like asking whats the best make of car...... Since I bought my first DSLR the strangely named but brilliant *ist DS, I have tried: Bibble pro/ Aftershot Capture One ...

Pentax Full Frame
I reckon as time goes by "full frame" will increasingly become what the camera buying public choose to spend their money on. It's the old more/bigger/faster/larger is better mentality. You can't escape it, it's hard wired into our brains it seems - why else would we want to upgrade our equipment p...

Pentax Full Frame
The World is full of contradictions - our houses become ever smaller courtesy of Barret, and our waistlines become ever larger courtesy of McDonalds. Soon we'll be wedged in like veal calves - then well HAVE to buy midget cameras :roll: I hear what you say about camera phones, but I also read th...

Pentax Full Frame
PENTAX used to be very innovative -- what happened ? My boy says his School has 30 NIKON D5000 for use in the Art Department -- I asked why not 'PENTAX' and he said that 'PENTAX' is not a very well-known make ! Pentax still are very innovative the Q and the k-30 are very innovative. As for the sc...

Pentax Full Frame
Do you still hold this opinion even though it has been reported from reliable sources that Pentax are working on a full frame product for release after 2013? Absolutely. Hey if they release a FF, fantastic, praise the lord, can't wait! But you can't blame me for being a skeptical, particularly after...
