Where have all the Photojournalists gone?
Some quotes: "If the game is to be in the right place at the right time, I can't win at that game, because there's only one of me," says Rob Bennett, a Wall Street Journal contract photographer. And an interesting one: Michael Christopher Brown, a photographer who flew to Libya to cover the up...

Big Stopper
Nice image Shaun:D I have attained similar results with a welding glass attached to the lens, cost £3, but the results are clearly poor caused by sticking a non optically correct bit of glass on my lens. The best advice I can give is, setup the shot without the filter, drop the camera into manu...

Full Frame - Here we go again
So is the K1 in the photos a mock- up or does a full frame prototype really exist?.... confused (as ever)..Jeff.. Looks like it came out of the Pentax museum to me and why have it pictured with an *istD? The screen on the back looks very small and not up to the resolution of the current one on th...

Full Frame - Here we go again
Looks like it came out of the Pentax museum to me and why have it pictured with an *istD? The screen on the back looks very small and not up to the resolution of the current one on the K-5. My theory is that these are photographs of an earlier attempt that never made it. Yep it's in the Asahi ...

30% off at Rocky Cameras (New Years Sale)
Well, Pentaxophile, hardly a "horror story" in my case (however others have fared very badly) and I was not expecting gold star service just a basic level of honesty. I bought a zoom which was desc. as "perfect working order" which arrived absolutely filthy and impossible to focus as the focus/zoom ...

30% off at Rocky Cameras (New Years Sale)
I returned it --"signed for" as he often denies receiving returns. That was quite well known in the end .. he sent crap and then when people were told to send it back and didn't bother returning by a trackable method he wouldn't refund. Of course the buyer then went to Paypal to file a dispute but a...

Best selling cameras of 2011 in Japan
Pentax FF non-existent and therefore used by nobody will not entice the sale of a single K-5. Pentax are not Olympus though, and it isn't the 70's. Sony produced FF cameras which, despite not doing amazingly well (producing multiple models was definitely over ambitious) they were well reviewed and ...

Photographic 'Apps'
perhaps not an app but what about the SD Adapter. You plug it in, insert the card from your camera and you immediately download the photos to the ipod - this gives you an easy to use back-up device on e.g. holiday trips but you can also use the nice display to better watch your photos already when s...

Fringing - CCD or lens technique?
So, i'm loving the plastic 35mm. Just amazing when you get the focus right. Thanks for all the advice everyone gave me:) I bought this for low light situations but using it almost exclusively at the moment. As I still find the need for flash, I having been thinking of upgrading to KR, although a ...

K-5 discontinued?
Right then, I will now set the record straight regarding the K5 replacement. What I am about to relate is really pukka information. My source is my neighbour, who's cat is called Banzai and once rubbed itself against a Japanese tourist and then started purring. Nobody can deny that this is an uni...

K-5 discontinued?
But John, there is no mirror "system" in the new Sony “SLT” cameras such as the A77, A65 and before that the A55. The single non-mirror mirror present directs light solely to the autofocus subsystem. Everything projected in the EVF comes from light passing through to the sensor and as such these...

K-5 discontinued?
I can't see how an SLT can be a DSLR? An DSLR has both components of the optical system going through the one lens and is all optical. The mirror in the Sony system isn't even a necessary part of the camera in the traditional sense. It's only there for the AF.... It could easily be completely remov...

Is Photography Too Arty Farty???
I suppose photographers can be categorised thus: (1) The "penis-envy" photographer - This is the type who go out of their way to buy expensive equipment that they haven't got a clue what they are doing with it, but can regale us all with tales of how much they spent. Basically, the difference bet...

Is Photography Too Arty Farty???
Sorry - don't post often - but I have to chip in on this one. Photography or art - art or photography?? It is both, surely - depending on your own personal view point? Art is completely subjective - by its nature. Person "A" will like material from a certain artist - person "B" will hate it...

Is Photography Too Arty Farty???
I agree the poll can't really be answered - they are two different art forms - just as painting and sculpture are. There are also two forms of photography: 1. One that attempts to produce an accurate and faithful reproduction of the scene/person exactly as it was. 2. One that tries to portr...

Is Photography Too Arty Farty???
Thank you everyone for taking the time to make me see things from different perspectives and for the links to some great photography. I loved the reality of the Richard Billingham stuff and VonBonCat's angels are really artistic. Both Eve Arnold and David Burnett's work too showed me how well othe...

Is Photography Too Arty Farty???
Camera clubs and www.pentaxuser.co.uk are all very well but there is a utopian/panglossian/literal aesthetic that pervades. In order to "win" you need to confirm to the existing ideas (of the old guard). I saw some county level judging and most of the images were natural history images. Art was r...
