Well it might be an incentive for some :?: :lol::lol:. Back on topic a place for informal forum get-togethers, which aren't organised by regions/groups would be good, along a place for suggestions for events, and other photo ops.

er.... from the feel of this thread, I don't think that's true. I also realised while I was downstairs what's going on. This is a local. It's a quiet pub, where most everyone is known - at least to the barman and several regulars. There are no strict rules, but a certain amount of decency, ...

I miss the old forum before we had the last makeover. The whole thing was more personal, you could always find everything, we still had a real magazine, beer was 1/2p a pint with a pentax voucher and we never argued...... grumpy Dave :twisted: Yeah right, I bet even your avatar cant remember t...

oh, I take it back, the last major change was in 2007. it also doesn't look very much like it uses php at all, but runs on javascript. Which is strange in itself. I'll hunt some more when / if I have time. Bret

Hi John. Found this link on the back of what you said. http://drawsketch.about.com/cs/howtoindex/ht/eye_dominance.htm So, I'm unusually right handed, but left eyed

Hi John. Found this link on the back of what you said. http://drawsketch.about.com/cs/howtoindex/ht/eye_dominance.htm So, I'm unusually right handed, but left eyed That's a much better explanation/test, it's quite common in shooting with side by side shotguns where the shooter keeps both eyes ...

Reading this thread has made me reach for the anti-anxiolytics: I had no idea that so many members on the forum tote firearms as well as cameras and expensive glass:| Henceforth, my posts, especially in response to requests for C&C, are going to be considerably more circumspect and respectful:rol...

Which eye?
I'm left eye dominant, and use that for the viewfinder. I just tried an imaginary bow and arrow aim and naturally used my right eye to aim. hmmmm :) Bet you are right-handed, though. The hand drawing back the bow-string, and the cheekbone on that side of the head are parts of the aiming system. A ...

Which eye?
Since I started this thread, I have tried to change to my right eye on a couple of occasions, but have given up each time. Recently assigned AF to the back button on the K-x which made using the left eye a little more awkward. Having acquired the K-5 and done the same with AF, this is even more a...

As Tim has said it allows you to follow action coming into frame. If you were focused on a corner in a motorcycle race it helps if you can see the bike as it approaches the coener and about to come into frame. You'll get many more keepers, especially if its doing 170mph. Much more effective than pop...

Which eye?
I'm almost ambi-dextrous possibly due to many years of woodcarving, and can write with either hand althought there's a considerable difference in the legibility. I've never thought of it before and to be honest can't tell which of my eyes is dominant from the tests offered. I keep both eyes op...

Which eye?
What a interesting thread! ... Pool/Snooker players call it 'the zone' or 'dead stroke'. Painters recognise it as a zen state, where they may have been painting for an hour having not uttered a word with little or no awareness of time. I know this as Csíkszentmihályi's "Theory of Flow". This ...

Which eye?
I know this as Csíkszentmihályi's "Theory of Flow". This is sometimes described as "a deep focus on nothing but the activity". I have had it happen a few times when shooting one of the Rapid-fire pistol disciplines, and I guess that it could apply to a lot of other activities - motor racing comes t...

I suppose this is true of any activity. I remember my son actually went deaf when playing computer games in his teens. I've lost hours before now absorbed in a book. What's this got to do with eye preference though? By using only one eye we are translating our 3D world into a 2D image, and t...

What do you use for inspiration?
When shooting photos it depends on where I are and what to shoot what I listen to (if I do that at all). Most of the time it's some thing from Audioslave or Yoko kanno. I've never had the plugs in (Sennheiser's) whilst I click. I tend to taste the grape during the audio session and self motivate. ...

Airbus 380 cockpit panorama!!
Not a real plane...it doesn't have a yoke just a joystick from a computer game:) Like the HUD though. Back in the day when I taught HCI, the Airbus A320 was one of my "favourite" examples of how to design controls so that the pilot could get things very wrong, very fast - quoting the Strasbourg c...

It's no different to driving a left hand drive car as opposed to a right hand drive one your brain adapts pretty quickly Takes about 30 minutes to adapt to the car in general, a bit longer to adapt to the position of the indicator (turn signal) stalk. Think about learning to quick-focus a lens clock...
