What To Do With All These Pixels?
Not only do I not throw any of my digital originals away, I'm actively trying to add to them by digitising my collection of film/prints and slides, some of which go back 50 years or so, and all of which have something of interest in them, however badly taken or exposed. Shots of places I've been...

What To Do With All These Pixels?
I've changed my approach as well. Used to robotically copy every shot from the SD card to an external drive, then later use my imatch catalogue program to produce thumbails and then choose a large selection of 'keepers' and copy them over to the laptop for future processing. But still kept everythin...

What To Do With All These Pixels?
I think the discussion of whether to keep photos for the interest of your future self/future generations is not really so significant these days, because the problem is not single shots of a subject you decide you're no longer interested in (like you might have on film), but having loads of shots of...

What To Do With All These Pixels?
I sway more towards the keepers side, that's true, and I agree we have to think forwards and offer up future generations a photographic record of our times. I think for individual amateurs, in the back of our minds, its the practical side of long term archiving and passing down that's a concern ...

What To Do With All These Pixels?
I'm back after a couple of days sans internet. Nice to see the discussion ticking along nicely and there are some very interesting points raised. I'm particularly interested in the longevity of digital storage. How to find a permanent storage site (not so easy). Who's to say when Flickr will...

What To Do With All These Pixels?
I don't hoard my photo's for the next generation, I don't plan on children. But I don't delete images unless they are really out of focus, etc. Just as an example of one that I'm pleased to have kept ... My wife started her own business last year (she is a vet) and one of my pictures of Fid...

What To Do With All These Pixels?
The more I think about it the more I reckon Kris (Wombat) has the right idea with his film cameras. Yes, and amazing how the keeper rate seems so higher when out with my MX?! Indeed, my mum has a suitcase full of photos, all full of meaning & human interest. Even to a non-family member I'm sure. ...

Non Pentax camera with Pentax lenses
I have.just bought a Canon eos m for a silly silly price and found it to be a cracking bit of kit with the updated firmware solving the slow focus problem it originally suffered with. But the question is, I have bought an adaptor so I can fit my Pentax lenses to it, but would the photos be allow...

Photos of the Tube
Great photos , I was born in London and used the tube a lot in my teens and early twenties. The underground in London has changed a lot ,It's strange to look back and see how scruffy and dirty it was ..jeff..

what photo monitor do you use?
I have Dell U2412M. 1920 x 1200 IPS, views any angle left, right, up or down the same. Tilt, height and rotate adjustment, I love it. Cost me around £200 a few months back. I do graphic, paper and web design on it as well so appreciate the extra size.

what photo monitor do you use?
Hi all After a quick trial of the likely candidates I've settled on Adobe Lightroom as my editing tool of choice - the only problem being my rather dated PC clunked and whirred a touch so I'm in the market for a new set-up. The missus has agreed it can be a whole new set-up! I'm after adv...

what photo monitor do you use?
My home monitor is a 19" HP with a PVA panel, since I couldn't afford the cash or the space for a SIPS when I bought it. At work I use twin Dell 24", and I must agree with the above comments re: two monitors, I wouldn't go back for serious work now.

what photo monitor do you use?
Much the same as Gary for me, built lots of PC's from the late 90's of which a couple are still running. When it became possible to buy a decent PC of the shelf for the same money as a self build I bought a Dell XPS i7 and couldn't be happier. Anyway, back to the OP, I run a pair of Dell 2209W...

Leicaflex elpro close focus lens
If they are close up lenses, provided they will fit or can be made to fit via a step up/down ring then you could use them.

switching from Windows to Linux
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, Ubuntu/WindowsXP dual boot on my desktop. I find RawTherapee very good for what I want, though admittedly I've never used Silkypix. Good luck with your foray into the empire of the penguin, I switched before Vista came out and I've never looked back, I on...

switching from Windows to Linux
I promised a RawTherapee update on batch processing, and here it is. I have to say I am extremely impressed with the batch work I have been doing. So far I've been dividing my party shots into groups of about 5-8 which are similar in lighting balance and just processing those, but I know now I can p...

(Almost) no more new pics
Hi guys, just want to let you know, that I might not contribute that much any more in the future. I got my new DSLR and it is not a K5ii or special sneak presell K3 ;.) - I decided to get a Nikon D7100. I still have my old K20D with a 18-250mm lens, but carrying a second body to a shooting is not s...
