Thanks for the advice John,,, No I'm certainly not looking to do it Professionally.. Though I have agreed to help out with one more... Then I think it will be back to "NO THANKS"

A little help in wedding photography...?
Quick question but are you using back button autofocus as I disabled autofocus on the shutter button and use the rear button for AF instead and my keeper rate went up massively

New computer
I got a new computer a few months back, a desktop. The SSD has transformed working with Photoshop/LR. On my old computer I would start PS and then go and make a cup of tea waiting for it to load ! Now it takes 5 seconds

New computer
The new iPad Pro looks promising.. as far as photoshop is concerned any new Mac will do the job. but... the real issue is workflow.... you have external monitor, if you also have external raid hard drive and an external ssd drive then what you want to look for is any Mac with a thunderbolt 3 por...

so the end as come
Nope haven’t loaded anything up yet still finding my way round the system as the oly mirrorless is a little different to what I am use to You'll be back in the fold here before you know it when you still haven't got used to it! They're handy as a camera for situations that suit them (say carrying r...

My Pentax
Yes. I give full details of items of over £1000 (eg the K-1) Items under that are covered up to an agreed value. Its covered indoors and out and doesn't add much to the total cost. Guess if I started to make regular claims they might get upset but otherwise its money for nothing for them. In the...

Stitching software DSLR scanning
Thank you for your advice Christophe and Gwyn! I agree, Hugin is very good stitching software, though quite complex IMHO. Photomerge in PE 2019 is easy to use, and the results are good, I actually ended up with purchasing the Affinity Photo software, that features stitching, focus stacking an...

Telephoto lenses
Its all about What Pentax now cant offer.... "Choice" Speaking in full frame terms.. They now after approx 3 years just about have a range Put together. (Still no 85mm 1.4 for portraits) But in most cases only one option. So you have to pay the price like it or lump it. Seems difficult to see...

New Pentax Lens Road Map January 2019
I doubt very much that any manufacturer would produce a camera road map. New products are kept under wraps until released, not advised in advance. There are of course exceptions, for example we knew the 645D was on the way a long time before it arrived! daronl I'm glad you like your D500 and i...

New Pentax Lens Road Map January 2019
Back to topic - the new 11-18 lens has “a space specifically designed for holding a heating device to prevent condensation”. Can anyone shed light on this? And is it a unique feature?

A mini rant.
Looking back at some older images, there's nothing wrong with the K-5 and indeed nothing wrong with the K20D that came before the K-7. We can deduce that the K-7 is pretty good as well, especially as Nigel keeps telling us it is. I believe him. If you want a replacement, then the K-3 or K-3II are...

A mini rant.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a way of Manual focussing with the RED/GREEN/BEEP aids on the K-5. I eventually got it so I could use them in a messy way. The K-1 seems different after initial focus it beeps and then seems to set itself to a wider tolerance over what's in focus. Beeps on ...

A mini rant.
Quite sure it's right. I've noticed on several reviews where MF shots are not in focus and the best lens expert on DPR mentioned something about it once. It's not a fault probably designed to have wider tolerance for continuous shots after the first. The K-5 does it as well but not by as much. I oft...

A mini rant.
Yeah I lost the top screen when I moved to the K-30 and K-S1 but all the top screen info is on the rear screen, and larger and clearer to read. Top screens look like 1990's calculator technology :lol: I have it again on the K-3 but I now don't feel it's necessary, or a viable point of difference...

A mini rant.
The top display on the K1 is very small compared to the K10d i had before and I was a bit disappointed at first, but have got used to using the LCD screen and never bother with the top display now, would not miss it if it was dropped on a later model. The articulated screen is a very useful tool esp...

Interesting read
Thanks for the link - puts things back into some sort of perspective. However there are situations where it is useful to underexpose and be able to push exposure in PP; eg in order to gain a faster shutter speed in low light or with action in low light in order to capture a sharp image - not that I ...

Interesting read
Interesting indeed and it is true that so many people these days are obsessed with gobbing off (excuse the phrase) about pseudo technical excellence in cameras, lenses, sharp!, sharp!, sharp! pixel peeping, one-upmanship etc boring etc. It's the same with some who own a particular brand of camera no...
