Tommorrow I'm at the Wex open day in Manchester. As its what was Calumet of old im not expecting to many Pentax offerings. But quite a selection of studio lighting items to interest me..

The new store is opened by Mike McCartney.. (Mike McGear) Who is now a celebrity photographer of some rapute.. If like me and your of a certain age and where around in the Seventies. You may know him as a poet or the lead singer of the group "The Scaffold" Having a little chart success at the time. Changing his name to Mike McGear because he was infact the younger brother of Paul McCartney.. Cant have been easy at that time.

He's there for the day to answer photography questions.... But my mind is blank.....!!

If you met a celebrity photographer what would be the type of things you would want to ask them...?
Help me out...lol Thanks in advance

Er - do you use Pentax gear? If not, why not?....

Makes an impressive silhouette - I like the sky toning from blue to orange in the second one

As above - great set Derek, and glad I clicked to see the large version - really stand out well.

Perseverance paying off indeed! I am guessing the 300mm plus TC meant you could safely snap the butterflies before they were off! During the day they are rather 'flighty'. I have been getting up at 'ridiculous-o-clock' before they wake up and going out later in the day when they are slowing done. Trouble then is spotting them in the first place!

If your camera has the dust detection system (I think K-5 onward) then it shows it as if you were looking at the sensor. It does all the reversing for you.
But only if using the dust detection system; if looking at an actual image, then it is as Jimd says.
