This has upset the fanboys
Brand loyalty also exists in the factory and design departments. They may loose focus or start to care less about their product. It may also work the other way of course :) Taping up the name on your gear Gary? :shock: seems a bit extreme and almost like you're ashamed of it. Or is it just that yo...

rucksack - rear opening?
Many of the hybrid photo/backpack styles have removable camera inserts. I bought one of these a couple of weeks back so I could take my camera gear and flask etc. to work without it looking like it holds expensive camera gear. It may not be the look your wife would like and you haven't said if th...

rucksack - rear opening?
[quote:3496ace15f="gartmore"]20 seconds on google revealed quite a few, however I often use a Lowepro slingshot 100AW. Although not mentioned by Lowepro it is designed in such a clever way that the buckles can be passes through all the cord loops on the zips. I would defy anyone to casually open it....

ipiccy wots it like please?
Lightroom 5 from Morgan Computers, search on Hotukdeals for lightroom. It's under £ 60. It's great for straightforward editing and RAW processing. It has a logical interface and it is non-destructive meaning you can always go back to the original and have a many versions of the image as you l...

Selling images - advice needed!
Bjørn I hope to be in a position to sell some images in the near future and so I can sympathise with your predicament. If I were in your position I would ask myself the following questions: 1. Do I need the money i.e. is this your only income or can you manage without earning anything from th...

Flickr image quality - watermark
Perhaps if your income comes from selling large prints or licensing high-res copies of your work, you aren't going to sweat about web-sized images, which are useless for these purposes. Your images are going to sell on their beauty, so ruining them with a watermark is probably not going to help you ...

What Reason Makes U insist on Pentax's Camera
I went to LCE in Plymouth looking for a Canon 400D but he said try this, and gave me a K10D. The Pentax was leagues ahead in specification and build quality and when I discovered it would take my old lenses, that was that. I ordered the 16-45 and fishy to go with it and have never looked back. The...

What Reason Makes U insist on Pentax's Camera
Lenses. I had them from film cameras so it seemed logical to try Pentax DSLR's. Then I got tired of average birds in flight shots, so started to wonder if it was me or the Pentax kit. Decided I couldn't change me so added a Canon 30D and the sigma 100-300 F4 HSM. Found out it wasn't me! but felt the...

What Reason Makes U insist on Pentax's Camera
I had an ME in the late 70s and I loved the feel of it and the build quality was superb, but in the mid 80s work (and other interests) took priority and I stopped taking photographs. When I decided to get back into it, I had a look at Pentax because I had lenses that I knew would fit. The review...

What Reason Makes U insist on Pentax's Camera
I don't insist on any brand. I had a pentax SLR back in the 1980s and when I get back into photography a few years ago it was natural to get a Pentax model, becuase I was happy with Pentax back then and I could still use my old lenses. For pretty much every aspect I have no complaints with Pentax...

What Reason Makes U insist on Pentax's Camera
When I first started with photography I had several Pentax SLRs in 35mm. After a longish break I decided to get back in with one of these new fangled digital SLRs. I settled on a K200D because I liked the Pentax brand, but mainly because it seemed to be the best bang for the bucks and with excellent...

What Reason Makes U insist on Pentax's Camera
I started in 1970 with my first Spotmatic. At the same time I had abunch of Leica equipment. But the Spotmatic was my first SLR. It had a 55mm f1.8 super Takumar lens. I found the SLR just fantastic. Through the lens metering, No worries about filter factors, or using extension tubes. I was hoo...

Any advice on what to shoot in Tunisia?
Thanks for the warning! I do worry about intruding.I have looked at all the links and everything posted with great interest thank you . :D Don't be too held back though. I've worked and snapped in Muslim Countries and I found that some Locals love their photo taken and some do indeed take offence.

Any advice on what to shoot in Tunisia?
I second the suggestions for El Gem and Kairouan you can do both in a day trip from Port El Kantaoui. The medina in Kairouan is a great place to explore, the medina in Sousse too if you venture away from the "tourist souks", just head off down a little side alley here or there and get happily l...

Sad news
Yes more terrible news, I have read all the comments and held off from posting, as I didn't have any more words to say that haven't already been said before, Luck has not been on the side of this forum and it's members over this last few months, and I did think, a new year and a new start but yet...

Baby photography - Any tips?
My thoughts: 1. For the most part you'll probably want to do candids, because setting up any kind of formal shot with a small child is a pain as soon as they can move under their own power. 2. Flash is fine, often preferable once they start moving quickly. Bounced is better, but that's general...

A thought re the Classifieds
I guess this is kind of what the lens review section on the US forum is trying to do which seems to track what people have paid over time (not sure if there are enough data points though). It's difficult though, especially for uncommon or out of production lenses (sorry '@@RARE@@'...). A lot of e...

BT Internet officially disconnected from Flickr.
BT's divorce from Yahoo meant this was always on the cards. I left BT last July after 13 years as a happy customer who had never looked anywhere else - all because I didn't use the landline for a month so they decided to charge me a £10 penalty. I'm now with a ISP that costs a pound or two less each...
