As others have said they all look very soft. One of the limitations of working with Pentax until the mkii k-5

From first observations the main problem is all the different processing styles. Ideally you should use just one style when laying out a gallery or very small changes.

Finally the presentation is spoilt by the many different crop ratios and going from portrait to landscape mode and back again which is why many photographers have gone wordpress and used a vertical scrolling layout so the images flowed better and there is no need to keep pressing to swipe.

Your compositions are good and the poses are ok. I do feel the images need a boost in exposure to pop a little.

I shoot weddings without flash until the reception and use a light sphere to diffuse the lighting.

As for courses I found posing for photography really useful, with sme simple posing adjustment you can make a bride look simply stunning and they will love you for it

Been going through my archive and reworking some old unseen stuff.

Amazing what you can do with LR and old files.

Samsung GX20 and Tamron 17-50mm

Totally agree jules. I just don't like the feel and menu system of the nikon, feels like a brick compared to pentax.

After the lens and tube

Great set to if images.

In response to my comments on another thread and in this thread. I bought the d600 as the price was to good to ignore and I love the images from it but having been spoiled by the k-5 mk11 focussing system I didn't think the d600 focussing system would be as bad as it is in low light I can only compare it t to my old Samsung GX20 it really is that bad. It also seems strange to have a cameras af system hunt again after usng the k-5 mk-11.

As for going to a d800 held one didn't like it and have no need for 40 megabyte images thank you.

Would you sell without the KA adaptor???

For me the FF debate is simple. Without it pentax are losing customers to other brands who are prepared to swap brands for FF. Usually these users start of with a hobby using Pentax and then decide they need FF as they turn pro.

If Pentax had FF then not only would it stop the continuous drip drip of users leaving the brand but might actually attract new users as they see pros shooting with the brand. When I say see I mean physically see, not many people see a 645d being used in public.

There's a big swing in pro circles I move in, this year with other brands including Olympus and Fuji sponsoring concert photographers with kit and running competitions along ltd of social marrow marketing. This is an area Pentax are missing out. It's ok sponsoring surfers and mountain climbers or Olympians even but how many people go surfing or mountIneering? Since the brands have sponsored concert shooters I know a number of concert shooters that have also moved to Fuji and dropped canon or nikon.

There's a market out there for the Pentax stuff it just needs to be shouted about more.

I miss Pentax af, for my concert work it is quiet simply the best af there is, fast, accurate and reliable and I couldn't say that for years about Pentax. As for FF apart from the zooms 24-70 and 70-200 which looks like it is finally here Pentax have a fantastic range of FF glass available now, their primes are some of the best around.

I think when the FF does arrive it will be a fantastic piece of kit. The k-5 mkii set the standard for APS C bodies surely an FF body will follow that standard?

Of course not. But forum rules say you should only post pictures taken with a Pentax body.

There is an argument that the reverse should be true, since the lens affects a picture more than the body does. However, we are where we are.

I don't know why the perpetual whingers (Yves and Cabstar being examples) continue to post here. If they don't like the forum, surely the answer is to stay away. But something always draws them back....

So, for that reason, and many others, I don't think the forum is going to die.[/quote]Thanks George! See your still on form then. Yes I hang around in the hope an FF body by Pentax rares it's head and as far as I know the site is called Pentax user not Pentax owner! And if my very few posts of late have rattled you then good!

No it wouldn't but photography as a hobby is very progressive and it is natural for photographers to improve themselves and their kit, yet the gap between aps c and 645z is way to far apart.

And Full Frame isn't about features you will never use, it's about using lenses that have very little distortion, sensors that are brilliant in low light or reproduce accurate skin tones. Having used a full frame camera I wouldn't go back to crop sensor cameras.
