Copyright Infringement? EU proposes new legislation
Back in WWII, amateur photographers couldn't freely go around photographing landmarks and bridges and so on, for obvious security reasons. Still life, portraits and macro were popular subjects. In practice, it's hard to see how such a move would be policed and copyright owners can't sue everyone.

Copyright Infringement? EU proposes new legislation
National Trust tried it on a while back, claiming they owned the copyright of all their property so any pictures taken on their property belonged to them. They gave up that nonsense as it was completely imposable to police and nobody took any notice. I don't think we have anything to worry about...

Which CPL?
I bought the Hoya Pro 2 weeks ago as I misplaced my old one....returned it to Amazon. The coating on the ring around the glass started chipping after first use in quite a few places. The turning action was far from smooth and I was having trouble putting it on and taking it off on first try. If...

Backing up photos whilst travelling - aka which tablet/OS do you use?
Hey everyone. I'm going to be taking the trans-Siberian in August travelling through Russia, Mongolia and China over an 8 week period. I've never been away for this long before and am thinking I should buy a tablet to do back-ups whilst under away. Also I will have quite a bit of time on my hand...

Backing up photos whilst travelling - aka which tablet/OS do you use?
I bought myself a Lenovo Yoga 3 11.6" for my travels. It is a Win 8.1 (soon to be Win 10) machine. I am very happy with it. I take a small hard drive along too, and copy the photos across to that as an extra back-up. It is very light, and can be used either as a laptop, a tablet or in tent mode for...

Backing up photos whilst travelling - aka which tablet/OS do you use?
For me the point is to be able to view/asses images on a good screen. Unless you're an awesome pro, chances are, some photos are keepers but a lot are not. I find myself shooting with the 'trial and error' approach a lot when it comes to ideal exposure. Establishing a comfy work flow as yo...

Story of hunting down my missing K-1000 in a foreign country.
On a trip to Belize my one bag included my trusty K-1000 within. Not wanting to wait for a private plane to pick us up my father and I took a taxi to a dirt runway outside of Belize City where a commercial commute plane would fly us to Ambergris Cay. As the 10 seat plane approached the taxi left w...

Like
Hello folks, I agree with David. When I use it I also leave a comment. Personally the whole "like" thing is for the FB crowd. I don't always have time to comment as many might, but if I do see a good picture, I "try" to find the time later to go back and thoughtfully comment. I think it's good to h...

Will a Panagor Auto Macro Coverter function on K5, K3 bodies
Thanks John, Tried to use one borrowed from a mate but it would not function; on other external blogs there is much discussion and in many case it seems people are using this on Pentax Digital SLR cameras with some good results. (but comments only relate to older models) My friend has used ...

Converting 35mm slides
As a response to being nagged about 'getting something done' about all the old family snaps on 35mm slides in the loft I decided to have a go at digitizing them myself. First up I checked for a suitable light table and instead of those available on photographic suppliers' websites I ordered a Minisu...

How much resolution do I really need?
Last week there was great deal on poster prints on Snapfish, with 75% off, so I couldn't stop myself from ordering one. 30"x40" for 8.30 delivered. Well, I do know how much 30 inches is but I really didn't appreciate the size until it came today. The thing is massive. Now back to topic question:...

How much resolution do I really need?
Yes, you're right ... Get close and you just see huge circles ... It's amazing how quickly it transforms into a nice image as you step back. But it they don't increase resolution for these bill-boards, there must be. some sort of optimisation being done. We couldn't just print out our files that ...

How much resolution do I really need?
Thanks for all comments. For me the bottom line is: I don't have to look at 16MP or 24MP image at 100%, cropping is fine and doesn't degrade IQ if printed at normal sizes and ISO 3200 file from K-5II blown up to massive size still looks great. I have few photos of my kids that are slightly ou...
