Shoddy customer service by Ricoh/Pentax
I was just wondering how MS cope with Windows installs. I can buy a DVD which makes the install very simple or if I want a digital download I have to ......

Shoddy customer service by Ricoh/Pentax
My issue with the Pentax's Silypix program is it is so slow to do anything compared to other editing programs. So yes, apart from the rare occasion for dealing with pixel shift I find it rather unproductive. It's like the difference of running a program written in basic as opposed to something els...

What backdrop?
If the background is going to be against a wall, you could put up a curtain rail containing several colours of curtain and just pull across the colour you want. Might be simpler than a backdrop.

Composition Question(s)
Interesting question, and one I think I have come across before. With this particular image I couldn't flip it simply because I know the scene so well it would just scream "wrong", but I can see that someone who knew nothing about this particular location might well prefer it back-to-front. Ther...

Composition Question(s)
John. In general you make a couple of good points. However, couple of thoughts… Basically because the inspiration for photographic composition starts with paintings. Art is art. Yes, photography, in the area of composition, derives a lot from paintings. It is, after all, another branch of the a...

Composition Question(s)
I'm left handed, and read from left to right, but with regard to the image in question I'm not bothered which way round it is flipped. Generally speaking the images that attract my attention most are the ones where your focus can wander over the entire image and discover something new wherever you ...

Backdrop tube
Go back to the Manfrotto site and look up Expan sets. They fit in the ends of the 2m tube and rest on the brackets you've put up. I suspect the instructions with the Expan sets will give the fixing centre measurements for the brackets.

The Zeiss lenses are primarily manual focus, so Zeiss lens quality plus Pentax AF would actually be a pretty useful combination IMHO.

£1200!!! What makes the new 50 so much better as to justify a three-fold difference in price vs the FA50? Because it's 3 times the size. Seriously though I would guess design and technology costs amount to a fair chunk of money whereas the FA lens has paid for itself many times over. I had the D...

Back to TPS, an interesting point Mary McArtney made was that for her personal projects she still uses film and carries around in her bag a small film camera; her reason is that images from small digital camera sensors won’t be good enough for a large print but this isn’t a problem using film. Also ...

Just put a Pentax mount on the Sigma ART series would put a smile on my face.. The other man's grass grass certainly isn't greener. Off topic but I can't let misleading FUD statements go unanswered. The ART series use electromagnets which cause serious problems.... https://www.diyphotography.net/...

Seaside sunset/sunrise photos with rocks and long exposure water.
Hi Richard, If you are looking for something like this, This image is at dusk. Tripod mounted, a soft 3 stop ND grad filter, and a 6 stop ND filter if memory serves me right. The lens is stopped down, manual focused, and focused about a third of a the way in. I also check the focus with l...

Good charger bad charger.
Referring to the comment of "cheap knock off" concerning the 7DAYSHOP charger I linked to, I've never had a problem with mine. I've never had AA or AAA cells get down to 0v either and therefore are not too worried about dead battery recovery. I've been using AA rechargeable regularly since 1977, bac...
