John, you should have been here.I'm waiting for a seriously wet day to go out and shoot with the W90. Some real pelting down rain shots....
The past 24hrs, I recorded 28mm of rain.
Take care.

Yes that’s the one, were you had the master copy on a skin, and you could never load or operate the machine without being covered in the black ink, which was almost impossible to clean off your hands.

My question, is “Gimp” safe to down load, for example what is there motive for providing free software, which another provider will and can charge a few hundred pounds for. Just downloaded this program onto my laptop saying its a free program
with simular spec to adobe ps and you can get free downloads for raw files it looks the part so will be trying it out . Was just wondering if any of you have tried it out

Is there spy ware or some other nasty that is being downloaded at the same time.
The reason for my question, in my experience, nothing in life is free, there is always a catch.
Take care.

I think, more than arm bands needed, I like the images, though number 1 & 2 being the best.
I must try and get some decent rough sea shots this winter, no excuse really, I only live half a mile from the sea, as the seagull flies.
I know when there’s an on shore wind, as we get salt spray on the house windows, a good indicator.

I am so confused. I thought i knew what I was talking about but i dont. I Have a K5, and I want to print out an image to 100cm by 70cm. How do i do it. Pixel size, thought it all made sense,resolution, seems pretty simple, but why is it that a 16mp camera will only give the dimensions of 55cm by 35cm image size??? And how is it possible that you can magically increase the image size and pixels on elements (does this decrease the quality for prints). I am so so so so so confused. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks guys all very helpful. I need to really experiment on large prints myself to really see these differences. It is definently one thing shooting digital to printing digital thats for sure.
Thanks for asking this question, you are not alone, in being confused by this.thanks guys all very helpful. I need to really experiment on large prints myself to really see these differences. It is definently one thing shooting digital to printing digital thats for sure.
I also cannot get my head around pixel size/pixel count, in relation to print size and ppi.
I have wasted so much printer ink and paper, without a decent print to show for it.
Having read all the replies to your question, which I am sure is very constructive advice, I am still totally confused.
You are correct, there is defiantly more to printing images than taking them.
I was completely at home in a darkroom with enlarger and trays of chemicals, but that was logical.
The next thing for me is to have a read of John’s, series of articles on this subject.
Take care.

That is well taken.
Given me ideas, but I will have to try much harder, if I am going to get a image like that.

I'd rather just stay on GMT all year round. Less confusing than fiddling with the clocks at two arbitrarily chosen times of year. Putting digital clocks back an hour is a real pain.
Agree about fiddling with clocks, my car clock doesn’t get changed, the instructions look far to complicated, for my simple brain to cope with. (Peugeot 207 S SW).
Take care.
