Pentax K1000 at No.6

I notice they mention the Nikon lens mount as having "endured, with some operational changes, even until the present digital era—a remarkable example of non-obsolescence." No mention of the fact that the K mount is also still with us and is if anything more backwards-compatible than the Nikon! I us...

New Pentax Gallery

When the PPG packed up a few weeks ago to reorganise for its October relaunch I had 11 photos waiting in the queue for selection. After receiving this latest email I asked them if the queued pictures would need to be uploaed again and they quickly replied to say no, they would automatically go back ...

Oh! The irony.

It's Ok, Blythman, your secret is safe with me. Care to spell out the implication of that comment George? This disgraceful and disrespectful thread is entirely your responsibility and you as an apparently intelligent member should be ashamed. I have read the so called back slapping thread an...

Oh! The irony.

I've replied to your question, and now I shall shut up. G :roll: Why people want to say always that they are RIGHT.Everybody else is wrong. If someone else comes back to prove he is right, then he is bad. but when I come back it is just matter of justice and I am right :?:

Oh! The irony.

I've no idea what all this is about, but we don't need another argumentative thread I'm sure. Hence I shall close this one off lest we feel tempted to continue. Back to photography.....

D-Range setting

What I don't know is what happens if you take a picture with D-Range on, when you didn't need it. Does it boost the shadows and cut the brights anyway, or is it clever enough to only do it if it needs to? LOL, damn I hadn't considered that :) I recently did a commercial photoshoot in a lab with w...

Maxthon - Yet Another Web Browser (for Windows)

Browsing through my tech newsfeeds, I saw that this browser was recently updated. I remember using this browser before Firefox even existed (back then it was called MyIE2), but back then it was just an overlay that used the IE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) engine to render websites. Still better tha...

SHUTTER RELEASE will it work

My 7dayshop remote arrived just a few minutes ago. It works. :D The button is very sensitive when trying to do the half-press to focus, and it seems too easy to go straight through to the full release. This could be just me, :oops: and I think I will also try the mod to a spare cable switch F a...

Perhaps if you did some analysis and appraisal of your own works and tried to understand things first you would benefit from others comments more. Simple stuff like what you feel is good in the image, what is the focus of the image, how the background helps, what elements of composition you used...

It's a good suggestion Axel. The gallery section is I think more of a pat on the back place. There are so many images there (the unlimited upload feature hasn't really helped imo, I think less is more) that it isn't practical to comment on all of them. I normally just comment on the ones that...

I'm with George on this. I want to improve and I'm not interested in getting a pat on the back- my family and friends can provide that. I think that many new posters would rather get tactful criticism than a yawning silence when they post their early attempts. In fact I think the more expe...

I have an A at english o level so heaven help anybody who hasn't That means nothing, I left school at 15 with squat diddley but it never held me back, my only failing with English is slipping up with the occasional difficult spelling and not knowing what some very long words mean, and George has yet...

Yes, and here I tell you that I am also a judge, appearing in camera clubs/photo societies in various places. The basic principle is that when somebody puts up an image they have invested some of themselves in it. It's an expression and it's not to be trashed. Let's celebrate and highlight the po...

I disagree, Dr O. Unless by plain-talking you meant unconstructive. I have very little creative ability in the visual sphere (so why do I bother? you might well ask!), but I can tell a good picture from a bad one, and I can usually see what makes a bad picture bad, or how an imperfect one could ...

I may have missed several pages Doug - I thought tyronet200's post was a general one about all images on the forum. :oops: As usual there are probably several discussions going on at once :wink: Yes, as usual there are :D Axel might distil what he wants and get it back on track :wink: (or find...

Anybody is free to critique in as much detail as they like, but sometimes get snapped back at when the OP takes offence. This then puts people off. If anyone wants in depth critique, then if they say so then someone may well provide it. If I was to think of one thing that would improve a lot o...
