A Viewfinder Problem Solved.
Sorry, way off topic here :oops:. Don, when I win the lottery tomorrow a long trip to Canada is high on the list of things to spend my winnings on.:lol: Drive across it one way, get the train back (or vice versa), hopefully get across to Newfoundland and Labrador as well. Our house has only be...

A Viewfinder Problem Solved.
Aah, Iran is another country which I loved when I visited during 1999 for the total solar eclipse. Wonderful friendly people and beautiful scenery and monuments. Great to read about your mirage experiences and the story about the roof of Tehran airport. BTW, I am an aircraft service engineer with Ai...

First attempt at the Brenizer method
I finally went out yesterday afternoon to try my hand at the Brenizer method, which IŽve seen used well by others previously. Someone on here posted a picture of their car a few weeks back, which worked really well. So I wanted to try it out so that IŽd be prepared when a situation came along that...

First attempt at the Brenizer method
Going back to the original technique, I'm not sure it's worth the effort. It may be for some images, but it's an entire project on its own and not really a "dabbling" technique. Still, anything that we enjoy exploring has to be a good thing.

First attempt at the Brenizer method
Yes, I would have got a more OOF backgroud if IŽd chosen a subject closer to the camera, but IŽd have needed more shots to get the same field of view. I might have another go, seeing what I can get with a subject close to the minimum focus distance (around a metre for the M85). A more involving ...

Didn't Pentax Do Well?
seen more Pentax cameras out and about in the past year than I have in the 5 years previous. Looks like it might be paying off for Pentax getting back in to the likes of Curry's etc.

My new studio
When I shot my first video on the KR my mac did not show it. One older codec in my system was to blame. I had to rename the folder holding the codecs and create a new folder with the original namee, and start adding back my needed codecs one by one until I got everything working.... I have perian, v...

My new studio
Gartmore, I sent you a link, it should be uploaded within the next half hour (99mb) also I highly recommend when shooting with the d-slr, that you focus on the lenses and shots that cannot be easily or cheaply done on video cams.. shallow dof, ulta wide or fisheye, low light , water/rain spray etc...

Looking for new backpack with 2 compartments
I use a Lowepro Primus AW, which has two sections and should meet your needs depending on the size of the lenses. A link to the bag on the Lowepro website is here: I often manage pack tons of stuff in mine and it is still comfy to wear, although on a hot day it can lead to a sweaty back (as ...

Looking for new backpack with 2 compartments
Unfortunately I don't think anything exists that meets your needs - the compartments for clothes etc in "combination" backpacks just seem too small to be completely useful - I have a Tamrac currently having also tried Lowepro. When I'm hiking I use a standard hiking backpack and place a holster t...

Looking for new backpack with 2 compartments
I think you are right to look at converting a regular backpack. I have just done that and got what I needed at a fraction of the price of what I could get dedicated photo backpacks. Plus got a 'airback' one to aviod 'sweaty back syndrome' My photo needs were much smaller than yours so that b...

Any advice on bellows adaptors
50mm F1.8 SMC Takumars are common enough on eBay, the ideal lens is the Bellows Takumar which doesn't have a focus ring.

Copyright Infringement... again!
I have no problem with good causes and contributing to them but I do think its a bit rich for the BBC to enjoin people to send in pictures of 'weather' and so on. BBC newsrooms, particularly, have always been looking for ways to cheapen, in every sense of the word, story telling and visual image...

Chance to Handle the Pentax 645D
I handled the 645D at Focus John and love it already, but...I can't seem to convince the Mrs that it would make a good compliment to my 645NII. I've also had some 645 items from Cambrian too...Good shop.

TV shrinking to a new low
Wow, perhaps they should go back to school and learn English before they try and get people to work for free.

What's all this about
Thats exactly how mine works with the added advantage that as I live in a tributary valley of the R.Trent so nothing works until I leave home. My land line works in the same way despite being in a valley. Here's an idea - Why don't Pentax install a phone in their next series of cameras and a l...

I picked up my camera for first time in ages at weekend and took a few shots, almost forgetting everything I have learned over the few years on here.Shots did not come out to bad but need few more practice shoots lol. Hope ...
