Depends what you want to end up with :) Try this: * Add new adjustment layer - "Levels" * Click Auto for the levels * Change the layer blend mode from "Normal" to "Luminosity" (this will keep the colours you have) * Now click back on the adjustment layer - Levels - and I found a tweak of the ...

W.T.H. ???
Went to a local general auction this morning, as is my want, there being a box of assorted Pentax bits and pieces on offer. To be accurate there were 11 Pentax and Pentax fit lenses along with 4 old film bodies (LX & MX) plus various other oddments. The lenses, in the main, were the usual suspects...

Value for insurance
Sometimes you just need to talk to them. I had a break in some time back and they smashed my beautiful Sony direct drive turntable. The insurers tried to palm me off, or so it seemed to me at the time, with the current top Sony turntable, a much cheaper belt drive job. I complained and they asked ...

Good news - ARPS success!
Quite an achievement and clearly well deserved. What lens do you use? I have the DA*300 and TC but often struggle to get the focus right.

Good news - ARPS success!
Many thanks for all the kind words, they are greatly appreciated and I still can't stop smiling! To answer a few questions / comments: Quite an achievement and clearly well deserved. What lens do you use? I have the DA*300 and TC but often struggle to get the focus right. These were all take...

Good news - ARPS success!
Many thanks again for all the kind words, I'm really chuffed! Well done, and cracking panel. I know that the ARPS is very difficult to get in nature as the standard of photography of nature images is extremely high, so that is a really tremendous achievement :) Thanks Tim, I've always been a f...

we had a job to get them to get the 150/450 out of the glass case and put it on a k3 i had to hassle them to do that yet on panasonic they was incouraging you to have a play If that was yourself that there that I saw when it was put back in the cabinet, then "Hello to you to you too"! Jo...

I'm puzzled by this. I went yesterday and was approached by a Ricoh rep to go to the 645Z presentation. I went and thoroughly enjoyed Matt Emmett's talk in particular plus I asked to try the 150-450 on a K3 which they obliged me by doing. I spent a while chatting with their rep, played with the 6...

I think the answer might be in a new type of universal mount with adaptor for the third party lens makers ... like the old Tamron Adaptall system. That way it is economic to produce the lenses and still get sales for the camera makes with smaller market shares. You get sales of the adaptors as well!...

I think, as always, there's more to things than meets the eye. After all, Pentax do co-operate with at least Tamron and Tokina. We know they do because they sometimes co-design lenses. I am sure that last thing we need is a new mount. One of the strengths of the Pentax system is the backwards compat...

Just back from Monday's show and I wasn't very impressed by the Ricoh stand either. It seemed very bare and somehow down-market compared to lots of the others. Ricoh have lots to shout about so surely it's worth employing some decent set designers to make the stand have more pizzazz (is that how you...

The Photography Show - did you actually BUY anything?
Thought I'd start a thread on the above to see what, if anything, tempted people to open their wallets and flash the cards or the cash. :D For me, it was just a lightweight (ally version) Sirui tripod (T-005KX + C-10X ball head) for £90 from the Sirui stand, for travelling because it seems to sup...

My new website
A very enjoyable portfolio of excellent photos. I particularly liked the image of the paddle steamer Waverley, it brought back childhood memories of summer holidays at Rothsay and steamer trips up and down the Clyde on vessels such as Waverley, Jeanie Deans etc. The website is easy to negotiate. We...

Cost of ownership
It's funny to see the initial focus on a camera body change when you realise that a system (camera plus lenses) consists mostly of lenses that will stay with you for a long time, and cameras that will be upgraded every so often. People new to this field tend to see the camera as the main focus, (h...

R.P.S. Mentor Wanted.
Barrie do consider the Hurtigruten as well - I've done it three times now and never been bored on it yet. Doesn't offer all frills of a cruise but you get to see smaller places and stunning scenery. I'd go again at the drop of a hat if someone offered me the trip! Enjoy your cruise Vic, Norway is...

Caution when using a diagonal sliding sling strap to carry your big telephoto
Caution when using a diagonal sliding sling strap Yesterday, I mentioned in a post to Member Judith Anne ( Saying Good-Bye to my Silver Edition K-3) how an accident Sunday last, also nearly resulted in my saying good-bye to my K3 Silver edition. So as a precaution I thought I should share my...
