Not for the squeamish...
It was seeing Brian moving in this direction that ignited the blue touch-paper of my "ICBM". I think photography, as we used to know it, is doomed, unless people take a stand with their own, personal, non-commercial photos. Commercial photography will of course follow the money, as L...

Home printing....Again
Further to Don's questions, are you running a PC or Mac? And have you run any kind of calibration on your screen? Finally, a print head cleaning may be in order.

Canon raise their game
Apparently Amazon had details of the new Canon 40D. Before they were taken down Bob Atkins copied them to his site: http://tinyurl.com/yshabj. Salient points: Live Preview, plus two Silent Modes which use the ‘LiveMos’ type CMOS sensor’s electronic shuttering ability (’Li...

Canon raise their game
Sounds pretty much what would be expected from the top end of their consumer spec cameras (i.e. those with smaller than full-frame sensors). The key point is that it's still the smaller sensor size rather than full-frame.

Tyr's Insane Macro Day.
I didn't know that, I've been using 2s timer all along, otherwise the camera shakes like mad. It's very easy to check. Just press the INFO button when the camera's in Capture mode (ie not Playback mode). The 'hand' icon is greyed out and has a line through it when it's set to the 2s timer, but not...

Did Shakspeare invent the Biro :?: I thought it was some dude named Bic :? No, but in that 'episode' he does due to a series of unforeseen events and strange goings on. And now, from Wikipedia: "László Bíró, a Hungarian newspaper editor, was frustrated by the amount of time that he wast...

Tyr's Insane Macro Day.
I found a ruler, so I can now work out the total magnification:) Lets see... The K10D's sensor is 23.5mm x 15.7mm and the picture below is 2mm top to bottom. 15.7/2 = 7.85 7.85x magnification! :shock:

Tonight's moon
I have two 300mm lenses and the sharpest image I could get after more than 50 attempts (with various apertures and shutter speeds) was the one below. Well yours looks a lot better with a bit of levels and sharpening. I don't think it sucks as much as you think. The sharpening doesn't of course...

no resample. Oh yes there was ;) At Photobox. If you provide a straight 3008x2008 pixel image they will do the appropriate upsizing for you. You just changed the effective DPI (which does nothing - adds no extra pixels - except from marking that in the image. Photobox just ignore that setting any...

Polarizer Filter
I must say the "digital" description doesn't offend me as it does others, I merely take that as an indication that it has had some effort put into the particular needs of digital imaging. It could of course be equally valid on a film camera, but at least the description indicates what it h...

The Slingshot Bags
Best bag I have had so far as well ;) Highly recommended - usually mine is loaded with a 50mm prime, kitlens, faj 75-300, a vivitar lens and my new sigma 28-70 f2.8 on the camera. I don't have the grip on yet - but there is plenty of space for it. I also include all the cables, 3 memory cards, sp...

Discussion : Weekly Competition No. 12 - "Hard and Soft"
I had a hard time getting a good image from my marine aquarium, can anybody give me some advice? For some reason I can't get a sharp picture, focusing seems spot on, both to my eye and the camera sensor but the resulting image is very soft. I have to go to really small apertures to get it reason...

Colour banding shooting into the sun
Look at the bottom of this page: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/PentaxK10D/page15.asp It has to do with clipping due to an overexposed area of sky. It is a sensor limitation, the SuperCCD SR in the S20Pro doesn't do this because it is very hard to overexpose any part of the image. The dyna...

Fireworks
I'm certainly leaving the NR function turned off on my 10D, especially as last nights astro session proved that it is quite happy with no NR out to 2 minutes at ISO 800 anyway. The only problem is there seems to be a heat source just off the sensor which starts to cause fun beyond about 1 minute. ...

What next? Advice tips for the newbie please!
As the title goes, what advice would you give to a newbie? Bought the K10D mainly to add to my collection of gadgets, but have now seriously caught the bug! Bought the Sigma 70-300mm mainly because of the offer in Jessops brought the price down, also added the grip a couple of weeks later beca...

Discussion: Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
Did it have to start in a camera? Most competition definitions state that there must be an original that starts with the use of light on a light sensitive surface. That would cover film or a sensor. I think it just goes to show that the more we try to define something, the more there is to def...

correcting white balance in raw: loss of quality?
I think the Raw file captures what the sensor saw - the colour balance is applied after that so I don't see how quality could be affected.
