The one that got away 3
Cannot top the UFO story but like Chrism8 I was earbashed for taking a camera to Padstow - we’re just here for shops and a cream tea what do you want that for? - on a day when there was a storm out at sea. Sheltering in the harbour standing right next to the promenade was a male shag seemingly obliv...

Reversing ring
On Ebay I found an original Pentax reverse adapter for £12 inc postage which turned out to be in excellent condition, so decided to have a try today - well it is Father's Day so I don't have my usual chores! It has a 49mm thread so is a fit for an SMC DFA 1:2.8 50mm macro and an HD DFA 1:2 35mm, bot...

Reversing ring
The Jessops ones need the paint scraping off where the pins meet but otherwise work very well indeed. Sticking with the two-unit, reversed lens setup described in the O.P. another way to get around the focusing problem is to put the subject on a sliding table of some sort in front of the lens. T...

Focus stacking
For the first time since buying HeliconFocus I have achieved a focus stack I am pleased with; This required some work in Lightroom to eliminate some artifacts around the edges of the seed head but not arduous. As a comparison I have a trial version of Photoshop and am completely new to this but mana...

Focus stacking
With some messing about with the HeliconFocus settings I managed to frame it better and avoid the artifacts I had earlier, so that is definitely my preferred version now:

Focus stacking
That improved Helicon version definitely stands out. And gives a better composition - ie more space to left of the seed-head.

HELP PLEASE - Pentax KR will not record photo on SD card
Hi hope that some will be able to help. My camera has just started to 'play up' and not record photos on SD card. The camera was purchased second hand a year ago and has been working fine till now. The battery was running low and the camera stopped (not a surprise), and the battery was recharg...

HELP PLEASE - Pentax KR will not record photo on SD card
This is the sort of thing that's easier while handling the camera, otherwise we're guessing. However, a place to start would be fully charging the battery out of the camera and then trying again. Remove and put the card back into the camera. Format the card in camera. Double check all settings, ...

can't change email, keeps reverting back, will not accept K3ii as camera in profile keeps reverting to k70, will not accept lens entered in profile reverts to a 645 lens. It worked for me by selecting camera or lens from the drop down lists click Add, which ever, then Save not Set. I'm not sure what...

A little help required
I would be more concerned about the hassle and time involved sending your camera from where you live to either the official Greek Pentax agent or the country in which you purchased it or back to Japan. There is a reason I buy complicated electronic equipment from a retailer with a physical shop. ...

Photo shop/light room
As Peter stipulates above, it depends on how deep you want to get into it. I've tried Darktable (free, not dissimilar to PS) which is worth a go to see how you get on with the multitude of options. If that's just too much involvement for you then there's options like LR which is a bit more 'scaled b...

Windows 10 Stuff, questions & advice
Windows 10 is absolutely fine and what I use on my computer. Can't say I've ever had any issues... Cortana was turned off immediately and I typically choose not to share data either. Have had the computer running for almost 3 years now and it's been faultless. Updated periodically and recently used ...

Windows 10 Stuff, questions & advice
Brian W.r.t. the link to the free upgrade, it works fine from Win 7 (Pro in my case on all but one of our machines) to Win 10, and I've used it quite a number of times in the last couple of years! :D There was only two failures: - a 10yr old nettop which stubbornly refuses to upgrade and rev...
