Portraits - Help!
Only way I can see it is that you take the bar as a backdrop (having it blurred and shallow DoF so only the face is sharp). No tripod or cable remote. I have taken Committee pictures and as above mentioned you will be unpopular if you make a fuss about it. The pictures you take are in effect quite ...

Advice about selling lenses on ebay please
One thing to bar in mind is the cost of the listing. If you start with £0.99 it is free but if you insert a BIN the price can be quite high for the listing. BO (Best Offer) is cheaper in that way but this will no longer be able if on person is starting the bid. The BO is only of real advantage is yo...

Cash back 2010-11
I purchased a Kr back in December as the £70 cash back deal made it a really good buy. I love the camera but I'm still waiting on my cash back. I sent the form to Pentax in December. Does anyone have any details of who I should contact? Cheers Martin

Ultimate backpacker tripod reccomendations?
Backpacking with a tripod can be a bit tricky as I'm sure you know - even the CF full spec tripods can be a bit on the weighty side and together with the rest of your camera and personal gear you can really end up carrying some substantial weight - ok for the younger guys but for us in middle age it...

£2,000,000 PLI I got with my Camera Insurance as well. That should be enough. Showing your work is all good and fine if you get in, in the first place. Also a few editors may not appreciate to get 'cold calling' on an event they already covered. I tried it with our local Daily Echo and just got to...

Well lets see some pics then :D They will be on the way today. Just spoken to Martin and he is going to Twickenham today as they got several photographers covering the stages today. He has taken a couple of shots of me so it was not complete a waste of time. In a way I am glad as my back is really ...

There is now a set of 22 pictures on . Please note that these pictures are completely unedited. I will do the editing during the week but I am not too well today and just be running on painkillers:roll: They are just for a quick view. I will replace them once they are post processed and de-noise...

As soon as the Editor of the Echo reads the above comment SmutjeUK, the freelance opportunities for that publication may drastically reduce.... I only repeat what I have been told by their staff. He does not like any freelancers and they all seem to keep their distance to him. Should not effect me...

How to get MAX prices on auction sites...
Hiya, The lists of countries on my listings were not 100% 'set in stone' and certainly were not exhaustive....it was always meant to be a guide. It is totally impossible to list all the countries that I would ship to, I just mentioned the few that were most likely to generate bidders on my items....

How to get MAX prices on auction sites...
"Something else to bear in mind is taking a note of the serial numbers of anything you send out - to avoid unscrupulous people returning already broken items" I always made sure that my photo of the lens front showed clearly the serial number, so the evidence was on the listing. John..I tried ...

How to get MAX prices on auction sites...
Hiya, The 'problem' selling Minolta MC/MD mount gear is that there is now such a small number of users buying items. The Nikon AI and Pentax K items are still useable directly on DSLR's without adaptors, so they sell well and have many users. The other three main manual focus mounts have far l...

World Pentax Day
Got a quick outing pencilled in for tomorrow morning not long after sun up (or cat feeding time, which ever is the sooner :(..). DA10-17 in The Circus, centre of, on my back with camera pointing straight up. Been done before but not with a Pentax DSLR. No go if cloudy. Steve

OP originally posted a duplicate question, now removed in . So we know what he is talking about - but do not understand a) why he would ask such a question, b) why he would ask such a question as his first (and second) posting and c)why he would feel the need to post the same question in an e...

Sue and I explored an abandoned house in one of Manchester's parks - it was especially poignant for her as we knew the last park keeper who lived there and she could look at the wreck of the rooms she'd visited and even slept in as a child. Deserted and mouldering buildings hold so many memories ...
