I'm thinking that as well as 'just' releasing a Full Frame DSLR (which lets face it is really just playing catch-up) they may also be planning to use the new model for the launch of some new high tech idea .... something innovative like the AA filter simulator, something that makes both the camera a...

Starting off with Lightroom
Hahahaha I shot with an tripod and ND filter at 1/6 seconds. Balanced out white and blacks in Lightroom and enhanced ms filter exposure and overall image sharpness What did I do, in the sense that I buggered it up or that you want to know what settings I used ?[quote:3496ace15f="richandfleur"][quo...

Long exposure warning
I was out yesterday and took a few long exposures using live view with a 10 stop ND filter. Disappointed when I got home to find 2 of them had streaks and purple/red casts. here is the worse image Did some experimenting today and guess what caused it ? Not covering up the viewfinder !!...

Long exposure warning
What I did on Sunday, which was another fine day with bright sunshine, was again using the 10 stop ND filter set the aperture to give me 20 secs or more exposure. With the camera in the shade no problems. With the camera out of the shade and the sun behind but at an angle I got some mild pro...

Long exposure warning
I wonder if it does something weird, like internally bounce through the filter itself etc. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but all I know is that I've had the same results as above when I forgot to plug up the optical viewfinder.

Long exposure warning
That last picture looks more like it is through a window, maybe getting reflection from the lens side of the filter if it is a square filter setup. If it was light from the viewfinder would it not be more prominent in different areas of the image?

Metering mode is affected ... Multi-pattern won't work with the old lens, it will go to centre-weighted. I'm not sure that of itself would have a great impact ?? You'd have to use stop-down metering though and manual mode for accurate results with the Tac I think ... Are people really using metered ...

Photo Director 6 and five - whats the diffrennce please?
Version five doesn't have the Radial Filter. What does that do please? This video explains all: . In PhotoPlus, which I use, you can achieve the same thing by simply making a "selection", which limits any changes you make to that area, or to the surrounding area if you "invert" the selection. I'm ...

Paris through a Pentax... nice short film
Very well done indeed. Love the concept. :) The actual footage wasn't mind blowing but the concept of showing it "through the finder" , giving it an instagram 1960s filter effect and added evocative music made the footage compelling to watch. Impressed :)

lightroom, photoshop...or something else?
Just to add to the confusion. After developing in Lightroom and opening in PS for the fancy stuff, I often find myself opening Adobe Camera Raw filter to do something like white balance or noise reduction then using the history brush to selectively paint in these effects. I basically can't really...

Changing exposure
Hi Maria, in full manual you should be able to set exactly what you want i.e. narrow aperture , slow shutter, with nothing changing but depending on what you are trying to achieve with the slow shutter speed you may also need to attach an ND filter to the lens to get the speed slow enough

Using step up adaptors
Due to cost and lack of availability I need to buy a step up ring from 49mm to 77mm to use my cokin z pro filter kit on my 35mm lens. I thought it may be a good option considering 49's are impossible to find and I already have the ring adaptor 77mm. Anyone had experienced with these step ups? Proble...

Using step up adaptors
If it is a 35mm lens then one should not have a problem with most of the lens varieties in that focal length, with items such as vignetting. For that particular filter size (49mm filter), the best choices for variety are places such as ones located in NYC

Manuel Pentax lenses
K-5 is a fab camera, superb IQ. The only negative is some suffered from AF issues, the K-5ii models (either the standard or the 's' model) are a better bet if you could stretch to one. The AF is much more reliable on these...... ...the other big plus of the K5iis is the lack of the AA filter, mean...

Protection Filters
Filter discussion; Like many photographers , more so those of us "with more mileage", like me, I religiously fit skylight, UV or clear optical filters to my lenses in the belief that it offers a degree of protection. They are only ever removed when a "correction or effects" filter is needed. ...

Protection Filters
DaronL, If you search through the PU archives you will find many threads on this. The consensus usually is its a personal thing!!! As far as I understand modern lenses are not affected by UV as the optics can handle it. The reason many people use a filter is to 'protect the lens'. However ther...

Protection Filters
Thanks Dave, Interestingly in more than several decades of Photography, I spent many years living and snapping away in very hostile environlments and I have never damaged, scratched or abraded a protection filter which is more food for thought as to wether I need worry about a lens being expos...
