I use Photoshop elements, so firstly I use the Adobe Downloader to copy the RAW files into an appropriate sub-folder (2007 > September > Spiders), Then use the Adobe Organizer to apply various tags and categories (K10D, bugs, macros) This allows me to quickly display all my macro shots, or shots of planes, or photos taken in London or macro shots taken in London, etc etc.

AFAIK all you can do when shooting through a fence is use a long lens and get as close to the wire as possible. I've had similar problems shooting birds in aviaries.

His right eye seems slightly soft - were you shooting through a wire fence? Other than that seems pretty good to me.

IIRC (from a manual somewhere) it was recommended not to use the lens hood when using the built-in flash because of the problem you describe.

Is it just me, or did anyone else think that lenscapes' picture was actually about Bluetounge?

May I be the first to say "ooh err missus" in Frankie Howard sort-of-way?



I can never avoid the obvious joke.

Oh it'll be more than adequate for that!

Kinda depends how much weight you are going to put on it. I have the 679B which is sturdy enough for quite a large lens/body combination, but isn't too heavy to carry around all day.

Or the 'tax charger simply isn't designed to pump more than 1620mAh into a battery?

Kim,

Yes, I had the same problem with the 1750 mAh batteries, in the Pentax charger the light would go off after a few seconds but in a third party charger they charge correctly. I wonder if Pentax have done something cunning to lock the two together?
