ND Filter for Fisheye
I gave it a try the other day and it seems to work, fixed the gels to the back of the lens using dot stickers as it made it quick to do when out and about. I tried stacking a number of 3 gels, this photo also had a half gel for the top half of the photo (its worth remembering that the imag...

Thanks guys, still here! No box opening videos I'm afraid, sorry! Thanks Ken, we are ordering the Hahnemule sample packs and whatever freebies we can get, if anyone knows of any, please do let us know! Yup, that was a big help in the decision process (our camera club chairman having worke...

Diagonal Method
I've been looking at QuestionableCarrot's work with "Stranger Street Shots" and wondered on how many, if indeed any, had been composed using the Diagonal Method. . It looks as if the two shots of the girls at least conform to the rule with the old man also having an eye placed on a diagonal, b...

Epson printers
I had a big epson px710 with 6 inks, it was good but the ink did clog regularly, and the front paper tray seemed like a good idea but did jam a lot. It recently died and I got the xp312, only 4 inks, its much smaller, loads paper from the back which does not seem to jam as much, its also pretty qu...

Again, Again
I have sent PMs to both the mods after one stated online that it was I that made an offensive post, I am 100% positive that at no time did I do so, but I am also unable to check back on my wording due to the post being removed. If I did so or there is a misunderstanding to what was written by mys...

Now we have all done digital...
A common question. Many people still use old manual lenses, myself included. The best deal to start with is undoubtably the M 50mm f/1.7. It can be had for 20 quid or less and has superb IQ. Manual focus takes some getting used to on a DSLR though.

Imho nothing can beat the feel of a good quality manual focus lens I use quite a few of them one of my favourites is the k55/f1.8 which can be had for not a lot.As for focusing on digital live view focus peaking helps.

Now we have all done digital...
I have a lovely Pentax 50mm 1.7 but although great for portraits and of high quality, it's too long for my tastes. My current favourite lens is a Pentax 28mm 3.5 which is a permanent fixture on my K100. I actually find critical focusing easier, as the automatic focusing lenses often pick the "wr...

Pentax/Ricoh products
I've got used to not seeing Pentax photo gear in camera stores, or very little, but this doesn't stop at photo gear. I wanted to look at a pair of Pentax binoculars that have been getting excellent reviews. They are unique in the market as they can focus down to 50cm. I tried 3 stores in my area, no...

Anyone Got Any Equestrian Photography Tips?
I've done a fair amount of equestrian photography this year with the K3 and found the 70-200 ideal. There were one or two occasions when my 18-55 would have come in handy, but unless you get up really close to the horses, the 70-200 works very well. I doubt you'll need a flash gun - the 70-200 is...

Anyone Got Any Equestrian Photography Tips?
Thanx lads, it all helps or helped. Just got back from my 1st event, it went ok I think. Not had chance to go through my images yet though. I just stuck the 70-200 on in TaV mode set to 1/250 and f5.6, kept the iso range to 80-6400 and all seemed fine. I seem to be allergic to something though as m...

Cropping photos - is there a right way?
Action shots are tricky. I used to cover football and basketball games in Canada with manual focus film cameras and was never very good at it. Cropping is even more important for this type of work if you haven't got it right in-camera. You've got to zero in on the action. Megapixels probably do mak...

Cropping photos - is there a right way?
The composition will often determine the best crop. But if it doesn't effect the composition, sticking to near the 'golden ratio' (1:1.618)should give pleasing results. This ratio was discovered in antiquity to give visually pleasing looks. The rule of thirds is derived as an approximation of the go...

Cropping photos - is there a right way?
Based on this thread I agree cropping (beauty) is in the eye of the beholder. Which is why I'm of the opinion that all cameras should shoot the square format then crop to whatever suits. As Steve "Gravelrash" says it may be something to do with age. TLC cameras etc. Another option would be to have 2...

Where have the Butterflies gone?
Nice to have the Hummingbird Moth John, I think that they are steadily moving North. Regards David Indeed. It was a press and hope shot with the MX-1. Took six shots with the other five deleted instantly. Actually, these critters are hard to photograph as they don't stay put for more than a seco...
