How to get MAX prices on auction sites...
Hi Roy, There are many people who moan of issues with overseas sales. In my approx 1700+ ebay sales, I sold to something like 40 countries. I only had three real problems (ignoring the tiny easily solved ones)...and all three of the problem buyers were in the London area. I never had any big prob...

Waitrose sausages
It may have a Sony sensor, but I suspect Pentax use completely different processing and possibly even a different filter in front of it. Much the same as Saab being handed a pile of GM bits and building something which is a much better car than anything else using them! I know my friend's A100 c...

Backslash Key
It's not broken. The left arrow signifies the beginning of an HTML tag, which is why it won't display in a post. (it only doesn't work if there is a non-space character immediately following it). If it is followed by a space then you can type it, e.g. < The backslash key is probably an escape ...

Backslash Key
I wouldn't presume to call it bad programming as there may well be a very good reason for it. There's no good reason to not allow certain characters, but there is good reason to prevent malicious code being run. For example in URL parameters or within BBCode It's my guess that the forum uses a b...

Camera bag that does not look like a camera bag?
I have the Lowepro Passport Sling and love it. It doesn't scream "big expensive camera in here", it is expandable, collapsible, and versatile. I can use it as both my camera bag plus my purse (I'm a woman), which is great, especially when flying and trying to keep luggage to a bare minimum. Mine hol...

Use and abuse, but still 100% functional.
A lens cap? Probably, but then he'd have to take that off and on (or the hood) with the hands that seem to have been a little muddy. I hate mud :shock: But if it had a filter you could clean it with water.

But if it had a filter you could clean it with water. Good idea, it seems to have worked really well on the camera :wink:

How does the camera get that muddy without getting it on the front of the lens at all? Maybe just from his hands? from the OP : “That was from one of my avian photography sorties. I use a floating blind to take photos of water birds but the water level that day was very low so I had to crawl it ...

Trying out an old lens
Another thought: if it takes rear filters like mine does, do you have a filter in there? Mine (a Makinon) is very clear that it requires that 1 is aways present for correct image quality. [ I did catch the 800 bit, but thought you were lucky enough to have one of the 800's that a few manufactur...

Trying out an old lens
There is a small filter fitted labelled :- Tamron dia 30.5 Normal Japan And as it was brand new when I bought it (1984 with some redundancy money but not enough for a bigger one) It's still as is. Blythman did point out in an earlier post that the lens focused past infinity that might ac...

First attempt at the Brenizer method
It looks nice under the right circumstances... but I've done this in Photoshop using the Lens Blur and a correct depth map :) Certainly quicker than doing the pano + join! Or there's that can do it too. There's a on at the moment as well ;) Don't get me wrong - I'm not stopping people from...

Looking for new backpack with 2 compartments
I use a Tamrac Aero Speedpack 75. It has side/quick access and that side access fits my GX20 plus the Sigma 100-300 f4 with a 1.4 teleconverter attached (quite a large setup in total). In addition this main compartment also fits another couple of lenses easily or a lens and a flash, with spare sp...

I think it is possible to anticipate the effect of a B&W rendering of the scene, it just takes practice. One thing that I got used to in film camera days was having a fairly strong red filter on the camera. This was for the B&W film, but it meant that the viewfinder image tended not to have distr...

Seeing in black and white
first you have to learn to ignore color in the sense that if you were completely color blind, how bright and reflective is the various subjects in the scene? then you have to look up something like Adams Zone system to figure out how you intend to expose for various tones within the subjects in the ...

It was a lot easier when you had an actual colour filter in front of the camera... Instant preview of how the tones would end up looking. I guess trying different b&w filters and seeing how things look in liveview would be interesting.

You can view filter effects in Photoshop CS and beyond. In the Channels dialog box we can select red, green and blue and see the effects of those. In Channel Mixer we can mix any combination. In Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter we have a variety of colour filters at our disposal. Some of the...

You could try to find a Monovue filter, which you peer through and it essentially reduces a scene to its tonal values. I bought one years ago when I was determined to try out an old Bolex P1 cine camera with B&W film. Typically, I never did. They work quite well in bright conditions but the yello...

Monochromatic viewing filters are still available from Heliopan and Tiffen, both costing IRO £40 new. The Heliopan can be purchased here or on e-bay from the same dealer. The Tiffen #1 viewing filter does not seem to be avaialble in the U.K. but can be purchased new from B&H in the U.S.A (IR...
