A Question about the Q
We've had a big kit sort out this year, selling off an awful lot of crop gear and investing in a K-1 & D500. Part of the sort out was 2x Q bodies that never got used and Fiona suggested that the Q's should be her kit and she hasn't looked back since. She now has a twin body kit and has been buyi...

Hello from the past
After a long time without contact, it's great to see this new format forum (well to me), is still thriving. Of course it will, because seems to me the new Owners, unlike previous ones, have recognised the true value of Pentax. Great investment in product and promotion. Last time I was here all the t...

Just wondering how you guys do it
Photomatix is handy and good value for money, that said, after a while, I found it just wasn't giving me enough subtle control. It seems fine for simple exposure fusions, but the actual tone mapping options are mostly on the 'harsh' side imo. So personally I am back to Photoshop and learning bl...

Just wondering how you guys do it
Photomatix is the starting point, giving you lots of presets to start from. when you are happy with that then you go back to Elements ,in your case, to adjust the subtlety a lot quicker than luminosity blending. these are 5 shot images

Do 'enthusiast' level cameras have a future?
Visiting Currys for the first time in several months today to browse their IT section, I was shocked to see the surface area given over to photography had been reduced by a good 60% since my last visit. Whilst they parted company with Pentax a long time back, Currys now clearly see little chance of ...

Whitby Goth Weekend Nov 5th 6th
Best wishes to Mrs K10D. I hope everything is back to normal soon, and that in the meantime you can make it to Whitby. Never been, and I am not going to make it this year either.

Lets be honest...
As time goes on in my photographic journey I have come to realise as an active photographer; that is to say someone who takes photos EVERY day that the final image and its very content is the most important thing and NOT how I got there. Like many people I have lusted after big expensive cameras ...

Lets be honest...
Great post. And I totally agree. My revelation came when my girlfriend stated that I was getting boring when taking photographs: 'You weren't like this when you had a film camera'. That said it all. I previously used all manual cameras. Notably a Pentax SP500. Not much to fuss about. Thank...

Lets be honest...
For me, the process of going out and taking photographs is the most important part, regardless of the kit I'm using. I'm in my element when alone in the wilderness somewhere, not that I get to do this very often, but when I do everything's right with the world. I've spent some money on kit, not ...

Lets be honest...
I think it has taken a while for digital cameras to reach the same quality as film but the extra variable of ISO is a real breakthrough. I am guilty of using ISO 100 whenever I can but looking back on some earlier I was amazed to find a really good photo with ISO 10,000! I confess to following my D...

Shameless request- please vote for me....
Sorry, not a fan of selfies! Long outstretched arms disappearing out of frame degrade such photos quite a bit. Also your right hand looks totally out of proportion. But don't worry, I haven't got an account with any of those so won't be voting for someone else's entry either! I presume it wasn't ta...

Warm welcome back.
I would just like to say a big thank you for the warm welcome back from those members that have viewed my recent still life ' It's Been a Long Time'. I have rediscovered the delights of the wonderful original K5 together with the 50mm A 1.7. I was wondering if anyone can identify the larger of the t...

Welcome back Gary, it seems like no time at all since you last frequented these parts! Time goes faster as we get older :( Regards David

Warm welcome back.
Thanks David, my last pics were uploaded Nov. 2013- but I was on here earlier this year begging for a K5 - eventually got one in first class condition from aybee ( Thanks again Alan !) Cheers, Gary.
