Flat looking
also referred to as "Compression of field" where features from fore ground and background are compressed in perspective... ie keeping the subject filling the same area of the frame but shooting the same subject, say a portrait, the subjects nose might appear bigger with a wide angle then a telephoto...

Flat looking
Flat lighting gives flat images, with no modelling of the features. There are plenty of ways to use lighting to give modelling, or shape, to the face. An egg is a suitable object to experiment on, trying to make it look different shapes with different lighting arrangements. Telephoto compression ...

help me please
Hi Shaun The trend in magazines either seems to focus on what someone did at a sepcific time which applied to that 'specific' situation or gives the the best photo is the one you like approach such as 'if you like rainbows go out after rain' or 'for seals go to....' etc and is fairly non committ...

Outdoor people shots - what are best settings
HI All As it says in the title. What settings do you use when shooting folk outdoors ? I was at Whitby Goth earlier this month and started with Matrix metering, Aperture priority with exposure compensation being played around with and single pint focussing and locking focus on the eyes. ...

Outdoor people shots - what are best settings
General rule of thumb, focus on the eyes, learn to shoot in manual mode, meter on the mid tones and check the highlights Other modes are good for quick setups but experimenting with metering and exposure will develop your knowledge of when and why to choose a specific mode in relation to the situ...

Outdoor people shots - what are best settings
Centre weighted metering, centre spot focus, aperture priority. If you have backlight or a spotlit subject, exposure compensation can be used as necessary. Stick with that, practice, practice, practice and you won't need any other setting.

Imagine, William Klein
Yeah, really enjoyed this. I'm finding programmes like this increasingly interesting these days. That drama documentary about Bailey a few months back ("we'll take manhattan") was also really good. Paul

Easy to use software
Welcome, Greg!! First of all - what is it that you want to do with your photos? If it is merely to crop, and do basic enhancements, then Windows Live Photo Gallery will be good enough. You can also use it to create panoramic photos, and if you have 2 similar photos, but one of the subjects is facing...

[OT] Through the wormhole.
Through the wormhole. The idea of a desert island have been done to often, so I figured I might as well try a thought-experiment that goes a little bit further. What would you bring with you through a wormhole, and why? The restrictions are that it can not be more than you can carry in one ...

[OT] Through the wormhole.
A big rope anchored at the departure point so I could pull myself back again if it was a bit rubbish on the other side, a bottle of Theakston's Old Peculier and a cheese sandwich.

[OT] Through the wormhole.
I'm not sure yet what relevance this has to Pentax photography...you seem to be asking what you could take into the past to record the world in a way that could last into the present. Nothing. Almost anything you could take would disappear in time. Digital would be useless. Film would get thrown ...

[OT] Through the wormhole.
Almost anything you could take would disappear in time I agree with John, the very last episode of Battlestar Galactica proved that very point, we never found any remains of the ships (at least the shuttles) that brought mankind to Planet Earth:wink: As for going back in time, a few decades shoul...

[OT] Through the wormhole.
I would have thought that information (pick almost any subject you like) would be a valuable currency, certainly to people in the past. Snag is there is always the problem of who first thought of the idea. What is common knowledge today, eg e=mc2 is attributed to Einstein, but if some one from ...

LR3 Vs LR4
The big difference in the develop module is the fill and recovery in LR3 compared to the highlights, shadows, whites and blacks in LR4. Hated it at first. Wouldn't go back now. Its so much better. Other things are map module and book module, but I've never used those.

LR3 Vs LR4
Yep, I also found the develop module a sod to get used to, but now would not go back.... Paul

So what’s father Xmas getting you this year
Christmas isn't the main event here in the Netherlands either - it is Sinterklaas. We don't celebrate it, but our sons do with their in-laws. Then they get Christmas with us. Christmas stuff doesn't appear in the shops here until December 6th, after St Nick has headed back to Madrid.

So what’s father Xmas getting you this year
Well... Santa brought a grip... An 'ExPro' variant of the BDG4... It's going back to Amazon as there appears to be an intermitant fault with both e-dials/control-wheels... They either work for a few seconds, then stop working or just don't work... :( Green Button, ISO button, AF & Shutter a...

The Ethos of Lomography
I never delete anything, but being a hoarder by nature it's probably natural for me not to delete anything. Even an out of focus or movement blurred image could have a use. Images to not always have to be sharp to be great images. Some images do, but it depends upon the photographer's intent. ...
