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. And of cousze in the future ..... Images to not always have to be sharp to be great images. Some images do, but it ...

The Ethos of Lomography
I'm surprised nobody has commented on the fact that 'Lomography' isn't exclusive to the Lomo camera. It's also not exclusive to film. I deliberately entitled the thread "The 'ethos' of Lomography" for that reason. :) Lomography for me has become a movement more than just the Lomo camera or fi...

The Ethos of Lomography

The Ethos of Lomography
I like lomography a lot. I do a bit myself, but not authentically, creating something of the look digitally. I find the Q is an ideal tool for the job and that is one big reason why I bought it. I also want to get into mobile phone photography, I'm on the lookout for a mobile phone camera ...

Help with value of a lens
You may be better off hanging on to it for when Pentax release a full frame DSLR, it may increase in value as the current DA*300 is designed for cropped sensors. Have you considered starting out with a secondhand DSLR, something like a K10D would set you back around £200 from a dealer and probabl...

Help with value of a lens
An update to this thread I have just got back from meeting cabstar from here after he offered to swop his recently aquired k30 for the lens. Unfortunately he informed me that there is some fungus inside the lens. I can't apologise to cabstar enough I honestly didn't know it was there. What causes...

Network Attatched Storage
I do, but not that one. I use a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ with 3 x 1Tb HDD's giving me 1.7Tb of storage. I've purposely limited it to 1.7Tb because I consider backups to be very important. I have 2 x 2Tb Western Digital MyBook Essential drives attached to it for backup, which runs every 4 hours 24x7 w...

Network Attatched Storage
I have a pretty reliable dat tape drive I had planned on using to back it up with for now! "Pretty reliable" may not be reliable enough, it needs to be totally reliable, and two backups are better than one, or none.

Network Attatched Storage
For the last 2 years or so I've been running a Netgear Stora (an el cheapo NAS) with 2x2Tb eco drives configured in RAID 1. It holds my photos, film (video, not 35mm) and music collections, as well as nightly backups of my desktop data. Even though the disks are mirrored, I appreciate I'm ...

Not sure what pointers I could give you except set it up, move all your libraries over to it, configure your apps to look there for their data, and never look back! Editing image files over a network connection, even a gigabit connection, is paaaaaaiiiiiinfully slow. My advice, keep live work in pro...

Amazon or Jessops?
I have seen the Pentax K30 on Amazon at a reasonable price of £400.65 from a company called Inkubus Bargains, and also on Jessops website at £399.00 (I would have to pay £449.00 first, and apply for the £50 cash back which would take it back to £399.00. Would you say I am better off getting the...

Amazon or Jessops?
Have you ordered anything from them, and did they deliver OK? Yes, I bought, amongst other things, my K-5 from them. When it had to go back because of sensor staining they were brilliant. I've met Chris and he really is a nice bloke, as is everyone there from what I saw - the guy who helped my hu...

Amazon or Jessops?
Just back to the second-hand equipment photos. Although some, such as LCE, do try and put photographs up, I have always found with reputable second hand shops (ie specialist camera retailers who sell used equipment) that the simplest thing is to phone them. I've done this with SRS, LCE and P...

If anything went wrong with it, are they helpful in repairing it? if so how do I send it off to them? :) You will find a lot of examples of their customer service on this forum, the latest
