K7 review here

I came to own the K20D mainly based upon their reviews on it. Obviously I had also browsed around other review sites but for years I always look into this site for lots of my high end gadgets and I must say they are always spot on. I was eagerly awaiting their review of the K7 also and today they came up with it. Cliff Smith has always in my view been pretty good when he looks at the cameras and quite unbiased and I was pretty glad to read the whole K7 review from him. He seems quite impressed with it.

Aiki, goggalee and kenty thank you very much

Kenty, there is always an element of luck whenever I try to snap anything with my K20 , specially after a few drinks and puffs in my shed .

Now, jokes aside, sorry I couldn't help it, but truth is, in my personal case the way I look at it is like roller blades, you can't control it fully to the precise point you want to go by going in direct line but you can adapt and manouver them and find ways to always make it go whre you want. With smoke in particular there is an element of luck but there are so many applicable variables that based on physics you can try to partially make it do what you want. Remember smoke rises due to heat, the more heat you put above for example the quicker the smoke will rise, air-flow in the room affects a lot obviously, total stillness and then sudden movement of the body will affect the patterns. You can thicken the smoke emitted by various means, well you get the idea .
I just make use of various objects to attempt to manipulate it, and its all fun. Sometimes it works, others it just is plain boring smoke but I keep insisting with various ideas. Some of the objects I use are extremely strange so I hesitate even to mention , the things you can get smoke to do when you use for example shuttle cocks, hand held fans, spoons, screw drivers cheese graters well the list goes on .

And then there is the editing of it also, I must admit that the more I do of these the easier it gets. While in the beginning I would have 300 exposures taking almost 4 hours or more to come up with just one good shot nowadays when it comes to smoke in particular I just need ten or twenty at the most and I get what I want. Less puffs and quicker results ha .

This one is one of the collections of my sensual ladies that I have along with the ones in the bottom

Thanks Dan and Barrie , That's five of us then seeing sensual lines here. .

, so I am not the only one looking at this image and seeing a sensual lady . Phew!! that's a relief, I thought I was losing my mind and seeing things where they didn't exist.

Thanks Kenty and thoughton

It has been a long time I haven't puffed any of these , so today decided to have a go at it again.

Can anyone see what this image reminds of? , what does it look like to you?

I am wondering if this would look better in colour..

C & C as usual greatly appreciated.

I think its a matter of tastes Mark. Overall the images look pretty good in my view. I see what you mean about harshness but the fine detail in the images just does it for me.

Mark, I have been quite busy past few days but soon will be able to relax a bit more and catch up with stuff, should give you a call within the next few days.

Regards

Goodness me Mike, These images almost jump out of the screen. That flash seems to work wonders with lighting.
I am so jealous

Hi Cosmo

I would be interested in the 50-200mm lens. Will PM about it but am wondering what is the difference between that version and the WR version, as the WR version is cheaper it seems. They both seem to have the same specification except the WR being weather proofing, so am confused why it is cheaper new from SRS, unless of course I am missing something.
If anyone knows this please could you help me understand this?

many thanks

Amin

This is a fabulous tool. I have been playing with it for the past half hour and I must say I am impressed.
I know there are similar tools out there although I haven't tried them but this one definitely is so simple and user friendly I just couldn't stop playing with it for a good half hour.

Now I know precisely the angle at which the sun rises and sets and the moon angles from my shed
Thank you for sharing

Ok, a museum piece then, is that better?
