The first one's a cracker Barrie

I've used the K1 at 6400 ISO on some fast jet images in my PF and they clean up nicely with Nik Collection's Dfine2, I've even gone to 12,800 with decent results on the badger images taken at 22:00 hrs +

You can change the mode in the main menu somewhere to take the focussing off the shutter release, but I just keep my thumb on the " AF " button when shooting fast moving subjects. it just takes a little getting used to and to remember to use it.

Morning Nigel,

The first one is terrific, superb light and composition, the last one is good, but imo. the log is tooooo close to the bottom of the frame compositionally, it almost acts as a hurdle or barrier you've got to jump before entering the view, prob needs to go north a couple of feet.

I like the effect and DOF your getting form the 14mm Samyang, tempts me to look at either the 10mm or the 14mm for the K1 ?

Basically in something like photoshop, you increase the canvas size and just choose the colour and size to add be it uniform 2cm x 2cm or for example 2cm on tne top and bottom and 5cm left and right.

The defaults give you white, black and grey. In the same way, you can add a thin border, but there are other ways of doing the same thing.

I will confirm what Chris8 says. I use the cheap. Under a tenner sender & reciever to fire my Bowens studio strobes,,, The strobes are manual. Ive had no problems in 3 years. You do have to purchase a seperate sync cable for the strobe but these also are pennies... Pocket wizards couldnt work any better..

If you use the ones supplied by Link Delight, they come supplied with the cable these are the ones I've had years of good use from

Hi Gareth, for my studio strobes, I use cheap Chinese triggers purchased from linkdelight, Google them, I've had no problems in 8 plus years of really good use. I pay about £10 per trigger / receiver set and have several of us shoot together as long as we don't pinch each others light 😆
