... our DX6000 is good but the inks magically dry up after a year. They're full for a while - and we use the printer rarely - and then, one day, they're empty.

hmm. Me? Skeptic?

*is* there a printer company that just creates "drivers" and not a 200MB bloatware special that monitors everything?

Sorry, I'm just a tad disillusioned

.. I also want a second one for the bottom of my flash bracket and then another for a flash when they're on the bracket. The 'frotto ones are pretty good, but much of the stuff is "mildly" overpriced.

... the second one, the left side of her shoulder etc. looks very straight indeed, almost as if it's cropped.

And here, too, #1 is too red and #2 is better.

I also really like the look of the last one, would be better with a bit of fill (reflector) from the left, though, to soften the shadows somewhat. IMO, of course

... hmm. I don't publish people photos unless it's a gathering.

The rules in the second half of the rant are already in place in Germany.

The first half... well, I think I will be watermarking more that I do right now.

what did you try?

Press Mode on the flash until the screen says "C0 SL". Flip the flash up on the k20d, see what happens.

If you need it taken apart, LMK, I've done several.

IE8 is also pretty good at sticking to standards, 6 was ... er, from the "Microsoft define standards so ner!" era. IE8 really is faster, it's OK.

FF is sort-of alternative, but it's very functional and has lots of add-ons to make life easier.

Work essentially recommends not using IE at all, but the even more important thing is to keep software up-to date.

If you're using Internet Explorer, that might happen, as on-the-fly resizing has problems. Try a real browser, like Firefox or Opera.

ah yes, definitely not auto-bracketed, as it will vary aperture, too. Different DoFs is not good.

I use M.

Set to a reasonable mid point, test. Then take as many shots as necessary (at least 7), varying from almost pure blow-out to darkness. Normally with 2-3 clicks of the wheel between each one.

Ok, you've convinced me, I will have to get my ass out to Turku to the hospital. Many dislike the Finlandia talo big-time, and not just for the carrara on the outside - it dominates that side of Töölönlahti.
Apparently (having just skimmed the text on the Paimio site), he and his wife designed all the fittings for the sanatorium, too.
