Colour photography in newspapers
In today's Daily Record online newspaper ( ), they have stated a claim to have pioneered colour photography, with images of those images that were printed as far back as 1934. The first colour images that I remember seeing in a newspaper were of the Clarkston Disaster in 1971, when I was 10 years...

Colour photography in newspapers
I seem to recall that as a 16 year old in 1978 being very impressed (as only a 16 year can be) with the new 'newspaper' that had just been launched - The Daily Star - which had a colour photograph of a scantily clad lady in glorious colour on page 7 each day. In fact looking back with fondness -...

Attaching camera holster to rucksack
Hello Dave I may have missunderstood what you are trying to do but altho' I do not have a CCS holster, I have for some years used a Lowepro Topload which I hang round my neck and secure the holster from swinging around by passing the waist strap of my rucksac through the loop at the back of the ho...

They could make camera backs, with sensors and a couple of buttons perhaps, which fit to your existing MX or other classic SLR. Just take off the old camera back and click the new one into place!

What I'd have like to have seen instead of the X-5...
I wonder why no one has made a dslr with no extras, just the basic aperture, shutter & ISO settings. I would buy one of those... Why? You already have a K-5 which doesn't force you to use settings other than "basic aperture, shutter & ISO settings" Apart from AF, 99.99% of the pictures I take wit...

We're off to stay in Craster Friday for a week. I'll be trying out the Colkin grad ND's Carl kindly set me up with. We realised we'd not been for 18 years. Doesn't look like it has changed much. Camera gear has though :-) Not sure about low shots though as I've had keyhole knee surgery today! ...

Need an advice
She said she's gonna get back to me with what kind of photos they want. So I'll let you know as soon as I know. I probably could rent lens or two SRS if it would make a difference :wink:

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept!
I loved that video, and that comment. Sure Cartier Bresson did'nt rely on the perfectly sharp lenses (damn even I am mentioning CB as Kai did.....LOL) Like all photography it depends on the subject, and indeed the "moment". As long as the image is not out of focus, then it could be called crea...

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept!
Instagram will die a death due to it's saturation. People are already tiring of it on Facebook. There's nothing creative about applying the same preset filter that a billion other people have used. Regarding sharpness, I think it depends where sharpness is placed in the pecking order of goals ...

Weather Proofing his Camera
I thought that said WWW.REDBOLLEX... at first :) ) It does Smeggy - but I am still trying to work out what "I REME SAILING" means:D It can't be a reference to the Royal Electrical and Mechanic Engineers so perhaps a misspelling of the American slang - which could be taken several ways. See wh...

a bit of advice please
Sounds like an event I was hired to shoot. 18-55 and your Metz flash is all you will need. Buy a cheap copy of the Gary Fong Lightsphere diffuser or something similar to give you soft light form your flash (bouncing is all well and good but doesn't always work !) and shoot at f5.6 (f8 to be sure ...

a bit of advice please
excellent advice given here, I have recently taken a weekly job working in a nightclub exact same setting for your club. These where all taken using manual mode and manual focus, lens set to 3 feet focus, I tape it up with a bit of masking tape to stop it from moving set aperture to f/8 and shutt...

a bit of advice please
Unfortunately a fast lens is what you really need! Could you not borrow a Pentax 50mm F1.7 or similar from someone? Alternatively, shoot with a higher ISO (KR should be reasonable up to about 3200). Learn to focus manually as the AF will not always lock on in this light. Try to avoid using the...

The dreaded SEO- focus keywords
The first thing you need to do Patrick is decide why you want people to visit. What is the primary function of the site - is it to showcase your work through your gallery or to be heard through your blog? You may feel it is both - but from an SEO perspective - that could be tricky to manage. ...

The dreaded SEO- focus keywords
Hi Carl, Thanks for the quick, long reply. I don't mind constructive feedback at all and don't see it as a personal attack. As the site owner it's very easy to get tunnel vision and not see things from an objective/outside point of view. I haven't seen Google Ad Word before, I'll look through...
