I'm surprised nobody has used this to highlight the manual lens exposure issue to Pentax.

If they are watching, do it, we might get something done about it before the K10D fades into oblivion when a new body comes out.

It'd help even if they simply declare that pre-A series lenses can't be used. At least it would clear up the issue and draw a line under it . . . then watch the flood of manual lenses appear on eBay.

I thinl they read this forum.
I wish they'd asked for images made on all Pentax dslrs, as most of my good stuff these last couple years were created on a ds2.
Gerri's k10 is new, and gets used for customers, but alot of customers don't want thier images used that way.....will hope they ask again next year when we have more personal stuff that we can submit.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Looks like the kind of thing you'd normally find in South America or Africa.

Not been there, seen some pictures of the gravestones at the abbey which have been worn by sand eddies into very strange patters (good photo material).

Colourful bags like that are common in South America, though the pattern is normally a bit more complex.

Erm... I'm not sure how I can do better... Here goes...


Go to you'e Flickr page and open a photo. Then right click on the photo and choose 'copy image location'. This copies the URL of the image which you can paste later on.

Open the PHP code image brackets Comment Image
, paste the url you coppier in between the two code tags.

I hope you don't mind I choose my favourite pic from your first page as an example:

This is the URL coppied:

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1436/906617789_77d081a50e.jpg?v=0

you have to cut it so it ends in .jpeg or jpg (or whatever else the file extension happens to be:

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1436/906617789_77d081a50e.jpg

Place that in the tags Comment Image


Result:

If you want to link a larger version then you have to copy the url of the larger image:

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1436/906617789_77d081a50e_b.jpg
is the URL of the 1024x684 version.

Just right click on the image, go to properties and highlight the URL. Then click Ctrl+C on the keyboard and the location will be copied.
Best regards, John
