I'm off to the Lake District in a week's time for some serious Autumnal Solitude! All the tourists should have gone home by then

1/250 @ F7.1 @ 16mm @ ISO100. K10D, 16-45mm DA + ND2 Grad.

Only the stones and the sheep for company!

On the K10D, go into the menu, go to the Custom settings, scroll down until you get to AF in remote control and set it to on. You will then have the Autofocus work before the shutter fires using the remote control!

...and the rotation tool in Silkypix sorts out the few I do notice (which I subsribe to user error)

I use 2 GB cards and (usually) shoot RAW which gives me 180+ images per card (I have 6 cards)

If a card goes bad I won't lose too much (I have had cheaper cards go bad, so now I use sandisk extreme III)

If I find myself in a situtation where I might use up all my cards I change to JPEG, which I did today at Shoreham. I shot 1141 images - about 4 good ones. (I had 699 JPEG's on a 2 GB card at max resoloution)

O.T. As you may know by now, there was a sad situtaion at Shoreham when a Hurricane crashed and killed the pilot.

Matt, Are you calling George a flasher?

Edit:

Not sure if it is overly sharpened or if the colour is overly tweaked.

The K10D is the best camera I have ever owned. I am very happy with mine. I can't comment on the specimens that other users may have in their possession.

Incidentaly, I have also discovered that in 8 months of K10 ownership I have put 9,000 images through it. In 2.5 years of owning a DS I only put 6,000 images through that body. Partly is is the sheer enjoyment of the experience and quality of the K10D that encourages me to get it out at any opportunity.

Just back from my Internet "sabbatical" As it's been a bit quiet on the Infra-red front I thought I'd jump in with a picture I took today in Burnham Beeches.

This was taken with my DS and a Hoya R72 filter (8 secs at F11 on ISO200). The main point of the day was to compare the IR sensitivity of the DS and the K10D, and the result is the DS wins hands-down. You have to use a much higher ISO setting on the K10D, 800+, and that (IMHO) puts in too much noise.

Well done chaps

Tyr,

Is it possible to link to a picture in an unlisted Picasaweb album?
