How to make a batch copy of photos but smaller size?
If you don't want to re rename your files again in LR just import them back in to LR then export them again at the desired resolution :-)

A beginners question but When to recharge a battery.
I think all the power is being drawn by the Sensor, especially with the 10-stop, increasing exposure times by x1000, Live View has to be used rather than the viewfinder as you can see not a lot once the big stopper is on the front of the lens (alternatively compose and focus before fitting filter -...

Trying but not getting very far
Last night I was browsing YouTube and came across an american video by a professional bird photographer. I have a K5ii and a 50-500 Bigma and have found the best way to get some half decent shots is to use AV f13 at around 420mm which because of mobilty issues I use 95% of the time ( iether in my wh...

Thanks for the replies. I think I should get back to basics and stop worrying about the more complicated stuff, It's probably frustration because I can't get as close as others and stuck to either hides or the van which is why I I tend to use 420mm so much and found the long distance shots to be sha...

One thing I would add... don't be afraid to take loads and loads of images and throw most of them away. I've been taking snaps of birds in my garden using a 40 year M42 manual 400mm lens. One or two have been pretty nice and I'm pleased with them... most go straight in the [virtual] bin. The BIG...

Wow brilliant advice everyone thanks very much.I have a hide clamp attached to my powerchair seat and a monopod with a manfroto 393 head and a bit of a heath robinson set up which attaches it to the chair seat back, to try and eliminate as much movement as possible. I have always had the SR switched...

I think I know the bird photographer you mean - a combination of top end equipment, great knowledge and technique. With the Sigma lens do you switch the IS on the lens and off on the camera? I generally use around f8 in TAV mode and balance the exposure and ISO. I have at times got some really good ...

I had a discussion in a hide with a guy using a Canon 1dx and 600mm f4. He says if you get one shot in ten that you're not binning you're doing well. Just keep shooting. I personally would shoot with TAV at f8 and try to keep the shutter speed above 1/500th and let the ISO run away. I always dial in...

I'm not an expert bird photographer by any means, but I do think I have some aptitude for it. So, here's my two-pennyworth: - I would tend to take advice from the likes of Alan Wennington (Blythman), who is an acknowledged expert - Learn your own capabilities and adapt your shooting settin...

My wife gets annoyed with me because I think putting the clocks forward and back is and always has been "STUPID" You get the same amount of daylight and darkness whatever the clocks say. All you have to do is get up one hour earlier and go to bed one hour earlier. Why it was ever invented "THOUGHT U...

I recall that daft business - it was dark for half the day! Another camera time setting it is a waste of time changing is the *istDS (and all the *ists I guess) due to the clock dying whenever the batteries are changed Not all ist models. The istD has a CR2016 battery for clock back up. Best reg...

Waste of time for me on the K30 as every time change the battery I lose the time and date so now I do not bother My K30 has started doing that. It was fine for almost 4 years after I bought it but in the past few months I've had to reset the time and date every time I take the battery out to rechar...

I have just got the camera (K30) back after the aperture block was repaired. The camera is 2 ½ years old. Now it will not retain the date / time however quickly the battery is changed.

Leave the camera with a fully charged battery in for a day to charge up the internal cell. If it still loses date/t...

Thanks for the advice. I’m not quite sure if it was when it came back from the repairer’s or shortly afterwards. In any case it had a least one fully charged battery in it for a while. I suspect they’ll say send it in for assessment, which costs me postage each time, and even if they don’t repair it...

A trip home
It has been a while since I last posted. But I have managed to sneak a quick but short trip back home for a handful of days. So after trying to remember how to turn my camera on, and work the thing, here are a few pictures. Part one of two. All with a K3 and DA 35mm 2.4. 1. Leaving Wellington har...
