Rules Discusion
I started a discussion in the pointless thread, didn't actually wanted to start one but i did so i thought better to make a separate thread out of it. It's about Pentax only images and that we should write down the rules that apply on this forum. I'm going to quote two comments, one from fatsp...

Expanding web presence for documentary photography with flickr?
Here's the deal: I have a website which gets decent traffic, and a facebook page which has a couple of hundred interested people. Nothing too major. I'm a street photographer mostly, I do some shows, sell some prints, certainly looking to get into pro doco work in the next few years. I like photos t...

Pentax news and future plans
Interesting comment "Pentax used to be perceived as an “economy” brand, but we’re moving away from that image". It seems that way, it won't be a bad thing for the more advance serious photographer. Maybe it's an indication off a DA*400 and a bit more exotic lenses :D Hm, notice the remark RE: lo...

Pentax news and future plans
If you put an Pentax K or A 50mm for example on it the TC also still focus right? Correct, as usual Stefan. Davex

Tonight's class - the penultimate one
Surely you can improvise some sort of reflectors (if you want to use them)? Tinfoil on card, white sheets hung up to reflect back window light etc? Don't understand what you say about your instructor's comments re stabilisation. You mean image stabilisation? Your instructor is there to teach phot...

Tonight's class - the penultimate one
Cogitating is good. You have the time to think about it and plan it. Don't feel embarrassed about asking a neighbour or friend to sit for you, nor about taking lots of photos when they do sit. Zoom in on the preview photo and check the eyes are in focus. They are the most important part of t...

Ned 'Pentax' Bunnell
It's good to see him back again. I missed him. Glad it was just pressure of work (and travel :D) that kept him from blogging.

Ebay gave me money
No they haven't. - All they've given you is a reason to continue spending your money, with them getting a share. Being a highly qualified, Internationally respected Economist, and a frightfully nice chap... I'll explain it to you. It's what we financial geniuses call 'Quantitative easing'. You'v...

Ebay gave me money
If Ebay gave you real money, you'd be able to spend it anywhere or bank it, but you can't, can you. It'll find its way back to them, and some.

Seeking website feedback...
Ideally you'd use a contact form, so your email address is within the form code and cannot be found by visitors. On the other hand, I've never used a contact form on my own website so my address has been exposed for 5 years or so. If you use a email provider with a good spam filter it's unlikely...

Well I wouldn't bother with a flare gun, but on a serious note if you want to take some survival gear then look at the Gelert "survival bottle" kits, you get enough in those to keep yourself warm and dry while signalling to potential rescuers. Or alternatively as it's an organised trip with multi...

Even experienced walkers can end up on the wrong end of a rescue helicopter. I had counted myself as fairly experienced, having at the time 20 years hillwalking behind me. After bouncing three times in a 40ft fall down a cliff face and only stopping when my rucksack snagged on a rock. Thanks to the ...

Losing the will to click.
I'm really in the same boat :( I got back from Belgium at the end of August and since then I've hardly been able to get out of the house for all the work being done :( It's no good trying to do much inside either - every time John arrives everything gets covered in dust - inches of it or so it...
