Airshow photography with K5
I've used a K5ii at airshows and the Mach Loop, ML wise, if your on Cad East the 55 - 300 will be good, somewhere around the 250 - 300 mark. since Shoreham, the flight line is a tab further back than it used to be so a 400mm + would be beater, your 500 mirror may be a bit slow as its likely to be fi...

Airshow photography with K5
Hi Steve, always good to talk aviation photography particularly with a fellow masochist using Pentax cameras pre K-3III! I've used a K-50 for several years and have been using a K-5IIs for past few months. Over the years i've shot well over 10,000 aviation images with digital equipment. My ...

Airshow photography with K5
I wouldn't worry too much about focusing speed. Generally, the airplanes are not so close as mandating the use of AF. Just set the camera to manual focus, prefocus near infinity, and set the aperture to f8 or f11. On the K-5, you can easily push the ISO to around 800 or 1200 to get a high shutter...

Pentax Failures
I thought it was bad luck then I saw the design on the 16-85mm spring and thought I`ve paid £500 for out of date rubbish design. Anyway its all getting traded and back to Canon and I think. Sadly it hasn`t been fun just expensive

Why do you send the competitions alway a day after the finish?
Not management, but, It's probably their way of getting back at you for always getting in first with the new year's firework display.

Why do you send the competitions alway a day after the finish?
To the management. A few times I complained that the end of the weekly competitions arrive here in Australia with the end date 1 day before I receive the email. There has to be something seriously wrong. Today's arrived at the 20th with the end date of the 19th. This happens quite regularly. ...

Well its 2022
Its 2022, what to shoot? I can think of one or two people. :twisted: Take photos of, I need to try and get back to it once we've finished unpacking but probably my usual fare of trees, churches and ancient monuments.

ClickASnap or Flickr?
I see no harm in uploading your back catalogue as long as you can ensure somehow they don’t get downloaded for free, much as I do with micro stock sites. If you need to add key words to each photo in order to get more views then obviously that is time consuming but what else are you doing on dark wi...

ClickASnap or Flickr?
I've never heard of ClickASnap. I've been using Flickr for quite a few years and find it useful and enjoyable. Though there are some inconsistencies in the interface it all works well and the social aspect of the groups is something I enjoy and learn from, with like-minded people all contributin...

Tide Tables
Back in the early days of the internet (1999) we decided to visit Lindisfarne for the day. I told my folks that we could check online and we were amazed to quickly find out the times. It was all so easy! On heading onto the causeway, my brother remarked 'there're a lot of people leaving' but we thou...

Vitreous detachment
Our eyes are very important to us all, and not just because we are photographers. Last night my left eye showed a change in the "floaters" that have always been visible in it, and I experienced a semi circle of flashing lights. Having been through this a couple of years back I knew immediately wh...

Vitreous detachment
Good to know. I suffered a rugby injury during rugby. Someone’s knee met my right eye. Had a lower orbital fracture and retinal tear. Funny thing is, the only thing that made me think something was wrong was when I was breathing in sharply through my nose, my eyesight would waiver marginally, as if ...

Proposed significant clear-out.
Howdy all. Hope everyone is well and safe. I'm in a pickle. Since receiving the 8E Tak from our own LennyBloke, I've seldom used any other lens on the A7iii. Furthermore, using a Fujifilm X-E2 with a TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 lens, placed neatly in my bike bag, has made me realise how many lenses I trul...

Can the K3.3 focus on anything in the air (not just birds)
I spent a few hours today looking for Otters without success and was surprised qat the swarms of tiny midges that were in clouds above the water surface. They are not uncommon (Chironomus plumosus) but there were clouds of them around so I decided to see if I cut get a decent shot with the K3.3 ...
