Is photoshop ruining photography
Not sure how many posters actually read the article. is that photography should reflect the scene at hand and that PP'ing to enhance the scene is fine. PP'ing to create the scene you wish you had captured is not. Perhaps the debate here is actually whether Landscape photography as a genre has...

Is photoshop ruining photography
Adding/removing elements from a scene to create something that didn't exist is where it no longer becomes photography for me, I think it should be categorized as "digital art" and not photography...I certainly don't think landscape photography has lost it's way though, its about capturing our natura...

Is photoshop ruining photography
Digital has also allowed those with talent to take huge volumes of photos at little or no cost, compared with film. Before digital there were plenty of people with talent who couldn't afford to take huge volumes of photos. What has having enough wealth to be able to afford to take huge volumes of...

Keeping the faith...
Stick with Pentax - easily the best - My first Pentax was the ME Super way back in 1981. It still takes a lovely shot. Currently using K20D and 645D - will never consider anything else other than Pentax with Sigma Lenses. Keep the faith without question Mr Carrot! Happy shooting all.

Laptops
Thanks Andy_Bell Have looked at the Sony page, "built" a system for £630 very like what you have listed. I'm not to keen on Sony because I could see a problem replacing Win 8 and putting Win 7 on it. Mrs Snap has a Viao running Vista which I upgraded to Win 7. Had to revert to Vista using the back ...

HDR
I've mentioned a few times that I rarely use HDR, but when I do it's Photomatix Pro. I ignore the presets completely and go for my own settings, the objective being a 'natural' look and not what most people would call 'HDR'. Quite often the HDR image ends up getting blended back into the 'normal' ...

HDR
Just as an aside, the HDR version as a print won first place for me at the Wigan 10 Gala Day a couple of years back. I've been pleased with the success the image has had.

Low ISO
I can't quite follow your logic here Algi and you do seem to be contradicting yourself in this thread. You said earlier "The best Dynamic and Tonal Range for the K-5 is at ISO 80 which is actually ISO 70". If this is true, then the dynamic range at ISO 80 without the Highlight / Shadow correctio...

Low ISO
I can't think of any downsides as long as the exposure is correct. You would of course need good light and it would work well with flash. It does effect the highlight/shadow protection, but I think you are restricted to ISO 200 with that anyway. - ISO 160 not 200 but that is splitting hairs...

Low ISO
Maybe so, but given that over-exposure kills digital images just like it killed colour slides, then under-exposing is better than over-exposing. Well yes, and no :) Over exposure only kills the image if you blow highlights. If you overexpose as far as possible without blowing highlights you do...

DSLR Body for Permanent Use With Screw Mount Lenses
Hello Everyone, It has been years since I've posted here. I have an extensive collection of Pentax Screw Mount lenses from Macro to Mirror and just about everything in between. I'm looking to buy a Pentax DSLR body to which I'll permanently attach an M42/K adapter so I can use these old bea...

DSLR Body for Permanent Use With Screw Mount Lenses
To convert a body, just use the Pentax Adapter K in the way it was intended - left in place. Then you can mount and remove screw thread lenses as you wish, just as if it was a screw thread body. Metering will be stop down and focus manual, but M and Av will work.

the k-01 isn't a dslr, and has no viewfinder except for the rear lcd.... but the image quality you'll get will astound you.. baically the same image quality at the k-5... and since you're using manual focus lenses, you'll apreciat the focus peaking effect and you can always add a hoodman loup over t...

DSLR Body for Permanent Use With Screw Mount Lenses
Wow, what a bunch of great ideas - Hmmmmmmm............ Thanks as always John and David. Don, never thought of a k-01 for this purpose - but am now! David, my K110D body is sort of permanently on loan to daughter #2 along with most of my K prime and zoom lenses. That's why I thought I'd go ...

DSLR Body for Permanent Use With Screw Mount Lenses
Good Day Everyone! Put in an offer on a istDS with a Takumar -F 70-200 zoom (not that I need the K Mount lens). My thinking is that the ist D's still used a prism and if I'm using these tired old eyes to manually focus, I'll need all the brightness I can get. Also, these first generation Pe...

DSLR Body for Permanent Use With Screw Mount Lenses
Good choice, and meters well with m42 lenses. Get a split prism screen to help with manual focus.
