As for being rushed by your partner, I've found that persistence (or just sheer bloody-mindedness) has gradually built up my wife's tolerance - I can now get quite a few shots off before the inevitable "can we just go now?"
Thanks every one for the nice comments I like them all but I love number 4.

I have also found that sheer bloody-mindedness works most of the time but one of the days away I persuaded him to come with me to the fall at west burton, been there often before, on this occasion it was raining but I love the place so got my own way. It was the expression on his face when I started to get my tripod out. Say no more lol thought it best to just take a couple of hand helds, and then drive back to the pub

I read this thread in disbelief, friend or not you don't ask someone to do a job like that and tell them how to do it. Sounds like he would love to do it himself but can't. Not only could it jeopardize the record of the day it could ruin your rep too. I refused to do a friends wedding for different reasons (hadn't a clue how too) but my friend was happier I refused than make a bad job. I did offer to make a separate album of photos the pro tog might not get and due to a mix up and the pro disappearing I took the cake cutting ones.

Just over a week ago spent a few days up in the yorkshire dales had very mixed weather and it was one of the first opportunities to use my K5. Unfortunately my partner isn't into photography and I felt a little rushed.

Well worth braving the weather.

under the box where you type theres a button says image click and you get
2 sets of brackets and you need to put the direct address of the image in between them.

I have a camera connection for my ipad it has slots for usb mini usb SD and compact flash cards think its a tv out one too.
I only have an ipad 1 but have the 64gb one. Not used conection kit much but have uploaded some raw files to store while out takes a while to upload but the ipad will read them.
Can't speak for the new model but if its better than the ipad 2 it will be good (my daughter has the 2). But if use for storing photos you will need the bigger one as I bet you will find you can easy fill it with apps and files.Perhaps not much help mine is an older model. I haven't needed to use it for that much as if away I always have laptop and empty cards there after every day.

This is HDR as I like it not over cooked.

Re not looking like HDR, that can often be a good thing - just a subtle improvement in the dynamic range without going over the top. The PS one has the best contrast with the hedge on the left looking much more detailed. And your Photomatix one has brought the sun out too!
If the the photo directly out of the camera doesn't look like the way you remember it when you took it, it seems HDR can help you achieve the look you were expecting. Some HDR is truly over the top but even then if that's what you want, who's to say it's wrong?
What I really need to do is take multiple exposures for an HDR and compare them to the result of processing just a single RAW file, along with an in camera version too. It could be the K-5 just doesn't get s much benefit from HDR as most other cameras with an inherent lower dynamic range.

Its a pity it couldn't bring the sun out in real life LOL It was a very cloudy overcast day. I've not had another go with mine yet but feel sure it would be much the same. It's the same image file after all.

would be interesting to see the difference with the in camera and the software using more files.

all three images were winners so was very well deserved.
