I've used these before. www.solentnews.co.uk I had some squirrel pics that Gary (cabstar) thought might be saleable. I read horror stories of people not getting paid by newspapers. So, I went with these guys for a 50:50 split Haven't used them since. Forgot all about them when I got my aurora ...

First Presentation
Always a good sign if you're asked back.. At our club we give feedback on each of our presenters and the judges. If there is little feedback the evening was considered a success... A poor evening is characterised by considerable criticism (occasionally non-constructive) on the forum... We have ...

I must admit, I have now sold all my pentax gear and have changed to another system. I tried to switch to another forum but have to come back to my favourite one to see what's going on. I say I won't buy another pentax, but who knows.

Yes I still us the K20 occasionally. I have it set up with split screen focus for the manual lenses. I'm trying the X-Pro1 out, handy for things like the Edinburgh Fringe, when you want to travel light.

Does Flickr sharpen uploaded pictures?
it looks as though they do to the smaller sizes than the original, there has been a lot of complaints about it and flickr are doing nothing, the least you can do is cut the sharpening back to the absolute minimum or as some have done it seems do not sharpen what you upload to flickr.

Any wedding photographers out there? some advice please
Your images in the gallery above (I looked at about 25 then came back here), all appear very soft. The most important hardware is a very good, fast lens and a body capable of going off at 1600 or more without getting too noisy. The K5 range is very capable. Have two bodies at least, one wide, for ...

As others have said they all look very soft. One of the limitations of working with Pentax until the mkii k-5 From first observations the main problem is all the different processing styles. Ideally you should use just one style when laying out a gallery or very small changes. Finally the pres...

SRS are first rate. I have bought lots of things from them, both new and used, from the shop, by mail order, and from eBay. The people there are a pleasure to deal with. I have also traded in some equipment for part-exchange deals and they have always valued them fairly. Cheers. Philip I ha...

They do seem more interested in more modern lenses, not really a place to sell your more obscure manual focus lenses. Which isn't really surprising - after all they are running a business and whatever they buy in must be fairly easily saleable. I think some people have unreasonable expectations a...

Lighting in the church
Am I right in assuming there is some tungsten coloured lighting inside the church? Generally when well within the interior this would be the predominant colour cast, so I'd go for tungsten wb setting, with the a manual tweak back towards cool(blue) to balance. The k7 has a CTE setting (colour temper...

Lighting in the church
Yes, I suppose that's right, it must vary depending on how near you are to the windows, their size etc. I should have said before that the manual tweak would be towards yellow, to reduce the blue effect ... I guess that brings us back to awb and seeing what the camera can do. I've found awb very goo...

Lighting in the church
If you shoot RAW then you're not 'baking in' a camera choice from the day. I'm all for getting it right in camera, but if you are pushed for time then white balance is something you can correct later fairly easily. Personally in this instance I'd shoot raw, opt for some faster glass (how close /...

k5 ..........
I've been in Whitby all day, so now I'm back I'll just remind everyone that courtesy is a given here on PU. Please don't criticise the person, but you can of course criticise the argument. Complaints should be addressed by sending me a PM or making a report, not by arguing in the forums.

Best way to get photos from camera to PC?
Hi there, just after ideas really. I used to use a sandisk card reader and settings on my windows PC that automatically downloaded the photos via Windows then wiped the card. This was pretty straight forward as I have a PC always on in the living room, so I could just walk in, stick the card i...

Best way to get photos from camera to PC?
Hi, Yes Windows keeps rotation info and yes all your data is there if you simply drag the files to your desired folder. Good idea to copy the folder as a back up before you do anything in your editor of choice. The USB leads are common to other makes of camera although a lot of devices use the...

Best way to get photos from camera to PC?
I use the following routine, normally with a USB card adapter (rather than connecting the camera to the computer - I usually charge the camera battery at the same time): I have an 'incoming' folder for RAW images that I import the images to (just drag & drop in Windows, from the card folder in...
