I met a policeman one morning.
Coming back to taking pictures. Surely are they just a slice of time. Not necessarily correct, exact, or wholly representative. BUT still a record. Actually that's why I distrust stuff put through PP.

I met a policeman one morning.
Coming back to taking pictures. Surely are they just a slice of time. Not necessarily correct, exact, or wholly representative. BUT still a record. Actually that's why I distrust stuff put through PP. And how would you be sure that an image hasn't had any PP at all? Surely if care is applied s...

I met a policeman one morning.
Its a crime Stefan, we should report it to the police, if there were any about! (I'm trying to get back on topic, wrench wrench bang bang bang) I'll see if I can find a policeman tomorrow morning.

Not a pointless thread :( My poor P70
My P70 is playing up again :( This time pics from a series I took yesterday and downloaded last night, though they weren't deleted from the camera are , now on playback covered in white horizontal lines :( Have managed to take a shot of those using the K-x and the P70 will be going back down t...

Not a pointless thread :( My poor P70
This is a real shame. It's one of the best compacts Pentax have made...has had some very favourable reviews. Hope all is well when you get it back. Maybe they'll send you a new one if there's any stock left! Most frustrating for you. Andrew

Not a pointless thread :( My poor P70
They don't have any more of them - mine was the last one :( The sad thing is that it's not every shot that's affected [ the same as in the previous episode] Last time I thought it was my 'operator' error so cussed at myself and just deleted the offending pics - and continued to use it till I...

Not a pointless thread :( My poor P70
I'll need to wait for info coming back from Pentax - but thanks for the offer John - i do like the wee thing . I realised that a permanent carry around camera - one that's genuinely pocket sized was a GOOD IDEA after my Freelander got hit by a car driver throwing open his door as I passed him ....

Not a pointless thread :( My poor P70
Yes - I can't praise SRS highly enough :) Chris had been told of my latest problem on Monday evening and that's when he found the other P70 . I phoned SRS on Tuesday morning about it explaining that I was really not very happy and Chris phoned me back in the afternoon . I'd been dreading what...

Bendy flash extension arm?
Thank you Clarky. I once also had the idea but the AF540 is just to heavy like you said and I was getting used to it by holding the flash in one hand and the camera in the other and simply use the pop-up flash to trigger the AF540 wirelessly. I wonder if a simple flash stand might not be easier, s...

Bendy flash extension arm?
Been very well, thank you, Clarky, other than a graunched knee which is gradually getting back to normal. Summer has arrived in the UK, after a very cold winter, but I think we have had more sunny days so far this year than any I can remember. Goodness knows if it will last. G

New camera - new card ?
Just to add to the debate, each time I return from a shoot/trip I backup my images immediately to three separate hard disks, cataloguing as I go. ie images are backed up to disk 1, sorted into respective folders, then disk 1 is copied in it's entirety to disks 2 and 3. Then all three disks are compa...

New camera - new card ?
Ok. Well I don't format new cards in camera, only when I put an old one back in.

Jessops Experience
So I went in a while back to buy a Monopod. I was having hand shake issues with my 500mm mirror lens when firing at, or less than 1/250th. So I went in and asked to see a few monopods and the guy saw my dSLR and looked confused. I asked the gentleman there which one of them was the most sturdy ...

Jessops Experience
To get right back to where you started - I use a Manfrotto Modo (ie cheap!) monopod with Tamron 500mm lens, and it makes a huge difference. The pod itself is small enough to leave collapsed and attached to the camera when you are walking around, but has allowed my to get decently sharp shots with t...

Jessops Experience
It's so wrong to use a monopod for photography, who on earth would come up with the idea to use a monopod for photography. :shock: That guy on the bottom left corner with a Nikon huge lens has the monopod attached right at the end of the lens, looking through again there are a couple more like th...

Filters - Which and why??
Fred - look at the Cokin P system as a starting point. P system can be used on any lens you're likely to use with your K-X. Most useful filters - Grad Grey, Grad Blue, ND4 and polariser. System filters mean they can be used on different size lenses with a change in the adaptor ring on the filter...

Tethered laptops and camera drivers
Just tried this on an XP computer that just had Digital Camera Utility v4.11 on it. I installed RA v1.0 and it picked up the *ist DS straight away. At first it didn't work because I had a 50mm manual focus lens on it and had the slide switch set to AF and the Menus set to allow AF in remote shooting...

I think I'm a bad Pentaxian
I came back to the hobby with the old wisdom that it should say the same on the lens as it does on the camera so I dutifully bought Pentax lenses until I needed the extra mms and bought the 150-500. I also have recently acquired a 10-20 from John R and although I still have to get my head around it,...

I think I'm a bad Pentaxian
My Sigma 18-200 lives on my K110d, until I want to go manual. My Tamron 18-250 lives on my K200d, unless I want to play. Do I have a Pentax lens in constant use? Not really, I'd love a 30(ish) auto focus but budgets don't allow! Are you a bad Pentaxian, not really, if the lenses were on ...
