Lightroom AI driven Denoise!
Sharpening and noise reduction work against each other in LR as in all software Rob makes a very good point here. They are different sides of the same coin. I do not regard NR or sharpening as operations that should be automatically applied to the whole image either. If I take a portrait shot ...

Way back in the early 1980s I attended an Open University Summer School at Westfield College. One afternoon we went out on a field trip around Hampstead where we were shown various places associated with the course that I was on. One thing stuck in my mind. Bollards! Not any old bollards but army su...

Custom Settings
If I were you, I'd try to customise the K3ii so it's as much like its predecessor as possible. It minimises the chance of mucking up a crucial shot because you forgot that the new camera is set up differently to the old one. Then change custom settings as an when you feel a specific need. It's what ...

Custom Settings
When in Av: Back wheel changes aperture, front wheel changes exposure compensation. AF: Back button AF, do not AF with half-press of shutter button. Not to everybody's liking but it is to mine. RAW format: DNG. It's more widely recognised than PEF. Steve Just started to try back button AF, o...

AF Button/Back Focus
On my K3ii I'm trying out back focus using the AF button. I seem to of got it working, but not sure if it's right. Am I right to say that when focusing with the AF button, keeping it pressed in I'm able to move to another subject and it will re-focus. In my case that isn't working. I have to keep r...

AF Button/Back Focus
Sounds like it's working as it should. The back button is replacing a half press of the shutter button, the action of which is given in my K3 manual as "When the shutter release button is pressed halfway and the subject comes into focus, the focus is locked at that position.". From the camera's p...

AF Button/Back Focus
I would try to use the joystick to move the focus point. I had the same issue and now find this second nature.

AF Button/Back Focus
I would try to use the joystick to move the focus point. No joystick on the K3ii, it appeared with the K3iii. Presumably changing the focus point with a K3ii is the same as with the original K3 i.e. press buttons to move among the focus points. It can be done, but the joystick on the K3iii is much e...

Topaz, Dx0, Whatever . . . ??
The stand alone is still receiving updates (you get then free for the first year and £99 thereafter !!). If you don't have lots of RAM and a very fast processor it will indeed take ages to process an image - that's why there is a big red END PROCESS button. They are currently trying to get everyone ...

Power Bank for K3iii?
Can anyone recommend a USB power bank for powering a K3iii? The use case is big focus stacks done outdoors without access to a mains supply. Live view, wireless trigger and multiple big stacks gets through a battery. And the last thing I want is for a battery to give up near the end of shooting a bi...

KF v Full Frame
As an addendum to LennyBloke's info.... Full frame DSLR's are usually at the higher end of model ranges. Thus they tend to produce much better images. With better noise control, better metering, better colour rendition, and better definition. Drawback is cost, not just interns of body price, but ...

Nice result all the same Loadof, From my brief researching sometime back, is that professionals as well as ammeters put the camera on a tripod in the portrait position absolutely level in both axis and then proceed to take maybe 6 shots or more with a third overlap in each frame. The reason for t...

Another vote of thanks to Flan and Mike. Software downloaded and installed but not used yet. I've never stitched anything before but I've heard about stitched macro... Focus stacked and stitched, might be something to do in those long, dark, winter evenings :evil:. Steve

Elephants Trunk Reshoot
Fabulous photos as always. I am going to be in the Kalahari next next year. During the day it might be 45C. It cools down at night of course, Do you think the heat radiating up into the atmosphere will make it useless for trying Astro? I have a K3iii. I have always been hopeless at astro as I stru...

Thank you :smile: I think you should be fine, no light pollution!!! For doing wide field, I focus it in the day to an object at infinity. Then look where actual infinity is on the focus ring/read out. The turn AF off at night, and set the focus to the point you found during the day. Or use ...

I think if collectively we stick to liking photos where we do indeed like the image we'll be fine. I know unfortunately all too well the issues caused on ePHOTOzine within clique groups, the fall outs from it all and how some members believed it influenced the awards process. Fortunately on Pent...

Landscape photography workshops
Hello all I’ve got a significant birthday coming up in the early part of next year and I thought of treating myself to a bit of formal photography education. I used to be really interested in landscape photography and thought that attending a one or two day workshop might help me get back into it...
