Help with camera settings
Agree with all of the above and suggest using the camera vertically (I know that sounds perverse) and use a tripod making your overlaps as big as possible. Exposure-wise this a tricky thing to do so I suggest taking a manual reading from the back of your hand in both the dark bit and the bright b...

Waited in all day for a delivery...
With hindsight I should have realised that Friday was going to be a non-delivery day, and Parcel Force class Saturdays and Sundays as non-delivery days as well. No mention in their T's & C's of Bank Holidays specifically. I wouldn't have cared so much if I knew it would be a Tuesday delivery, it...

Waited in all day for a delivery...
Well, the lens arrived a short while ago! I don't know whether this was an official Saturday delivery or it just turned out that way due to the Friday holiday, but either way I'm very pleased. The lens is the Tamron 17-55 2.8. First task was to put it on a tripod and see what it is like - and...

Strap ideas
I'm thinking there are trade offs with straps.. I mean for every pro there is a con.. Pro: prevents theif from snatching your camera.... Con: a mugger can grab it and swing you to the ground and choke you with it.(but then again when I used to work as a bouncer, I cut my ties in the back and se...

Strap ideas
As a relative newbie, I'm beginning to marvel at the tremendous volume of help/advice available on the forum. I may just have to start a new thread to help me find some replacement dividers for a discontinued Lowepro Compact AW DV.... Call Lowepro's importer in the UK (that's Daymen at 0845 2500790)...

Bats
Looking at the rig he used I'm not entirely surprised he got some decent photos! That takes real dedication and a good amount of luck though - I bet there were hundreds of blurry out-of-focus things for every perfect bat photo. It's also quite likely to be the only 100% accurate thing on that web...

RAW+
Hi Guys, It looks as if my K10D is back on track - took 50 odd shots yesterday without a blip and just transfered all (RAW & JPG) to my PC. I hadn't conciously fiddled with any buttons on the camera, but set up RAW+ under Menu/Rec.Mode/File Format. I didn't do anything other than that and it ...
