Merry Christmas at 1600 Iso..
ISO 1600 wow :shock: I have just come back from a shoot in Durham Cathedral, K5ii ISO manual between 6400 & 12800 Sony on auto ISO between 4000 & 25600. In a controlled studio setting it would have been a doddle for the K1 John

Memory upgrade advice for an iMac 27" Retina 2017
My iMac has 4 memory slots on the back with 2 occupied by 8GB RAM cards (i.e.16GB), and I am finding that in Lightroom and Photoshop they are reaching full capacity and slowing everything down. To order 2x 8 GB cards from Apple costs £360 and 2x 16GB cards are £720, however there is a third party se...

Advice please
I agree with Jonathan about using high ISO's. I've started using TAv mode and let the camera take care of the ISO. Not been much of a problem so far. On LennyBloke's comment. I don't have the PLM version of the 55-300, but at one time I did try an older model with the 1.4x. From memory it was a b...

Advice please
These are excellent examples, I'm really impressed with how the sharpness of the PLM is retained through the TC. Can you comment on the handling? Due to the slim size of the TC it adds scarcely anything to the length. Speed of focus is not diminished because it's electronic, not screw. In all, I did...

I presume by 'tracking' Steve means panning to follow a moving object while using continuous AF? Answer - I haven't a clue! Too many buttons to push with arthritic fingers. Yes, got it in one. Otherwise known as "I can't keep the flying bird in frame and focus at the same time, so let's hope the ca...

Advice please
Have you considered BBF ( back button focussing ) takes a short while to get used to, but after that becomes second nature.

Advice please
Have you considered BBF ( back button focussing ) takes a short while to get used to, but after that becomes second nature. Try BBF - but make sure you can use it for an extended period as I can't because my thumb joint rapidly gets painful at the acute angle needed to use it!

Sensor cleaning (again)
There was a thread here but I’ve lost it. Anyhow I recently noticed some spots when processing so I did a test by snapping a blank white screen. In the Lightroom spot removal tool I was staggered to see how many there were, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised as it’s the first time I have tried t...

Sensor cleaning (again)
I use a rocket blower followed by an Arctic butterfly ... seems to shift everything. Well my sensor looked like I had sneezed after a mouthful of Weetabix, blowers and the sticky thing didn’t touch it! Anyhow it’s back from LCE now and hopefully spotless. Nigel Danson’s YouTube video of a few month...

I've watched the DA-50 one. Great little vid. I'm used to something a little quicker from the vids I watch but I usually speed up to 1.5x speed anyway. One thing I noticed was that the animations came across a little sluggish (personal preference) at the beginning of the video. The main take away fo...

Also, not that I'm an expert in the matter but do you have a script at all for these types of videos or not? Especially as the focus isn't on your face you could quite comfortably script something which might help minimise speaking errors - again, though, that's endearing for some that it's not over...

Is it being bad.....
That due to computer failure I am just converting all the RAW files from the last couple of years into JPEGS and barely touching them processing wise? I spent a long time in Lightroom on the originals. Now I am in Darktable in Linux and just am struggling to feel any desire to repeat all that tim...

Need to get my K1 repaired...!!
There was a debate a while back over the advantages (or not) of card removal vs usb cable. Removal of the card won out but here are two good reasons to use the cable!

Seeking help from anyone who can help identifying this object
Thanks again guys. I do believe that a Last was what shoes were (or are) repaired on, I seem to recall back in the day they came with 3 or four different sized cast iron "feet" one of which you placed inside the shoe requiring repair. Perhaps someone can clarify that.

That's exactly what I remember my father doing. Usually sat on the back step.

Over saturated images on LR export.
Hi, just wondering if I can bend your ear and hopefully get an answer to an issue I'm having. I know Lightroom uses ProPhoto RGB colour space and exports in sRGB as a default and this hasn't been an issue before as I have a calibrated monitor and what I see is what I get back but today I exported...

Over saturated images on LR export.
How do they look if you reimport them back into lightroom? And as Peter says, how are you viewing the finished exports?

Over saturated images on LR export.
Viewing them using the built in picture viewer in Windows 10 but on the same screen / computer as Lightroom they were processed on. Haven't tried reimporting them back in but I presume as they were ProPhotoRGB in develop and exporting as sRGB and then going back into Lightroom as a ProPhotoRGB th...

Over saturated images on LR export.
Viewing them using the built in picture viewer in Windows 10 but on the same screen / computer as Lightroom they were processed on. Your problem is Windows built in picture viewer which is now just called "photos". It is not a colour managed application. It does nothing with the sRGB profile tagged...
