Top bit of photography that, I like them all

Hi Mat,
Its a place called Eccleston Mere In St helens.

Thanks for your comment.

Managed to get out for an hour this morning in between the heavy showers to try out the new toy, (The Excuses) weather conditions where frankly abysmal! drizzle and very overcast so the light conditions were terrible. (enough said).

So here are the results all taken with the Tamron 70-300.

Am I pleased with the K5?.....its awesome

Thank you Gwyn for your help.

Tbh I`ll probably buy something like Capture one in the end, I have updated Picasa and the images are fine now (thanks ChrisA) for a minuet I thought I had a dodgy sensor with that band on the right edge.

Thanks again folks

Hi John, I`m shooting in DNG and the version I have of PSP wont open them!.

Nothing Alan and I`ve just tried a system restore to no avail. Its a real yed scratcher that one

I have been using Samsung's own Raw converter Gwyn which is a version of Silkypix and will only show Samsung files!. I`ll give irfanview a go and see what happens.

Thanks Chris I`ll update mine.


Thank you all for the quick replies.

Went out with the K5 for the first time this morning and took some test shots, all fine with the cameras performance especially made up with the fast auto focus.

Anyway to the point, I have uploaded the images to a file on my computer and tried to view them in the Pentax DCU only to find it wont open! the banner flashes up on the screen for a second or two and then goes off, I have reinstalled three times now and its still the same!!. What i cant understand is that when I first installed it two days ago It worked fine.

Having no other way to view the Raw images I opened them in Picasa 3, they looked fine at first but then I noticed a strange pink and white band down the right hand side of all the images, It does not show on the cameras lcd screen.

Any help would be most welcome.

Just ordering a few little extras now for the K5 and I`m trying to find a rear LCD glass protector but there does not seem to be many about!, found this on Amazon but it doesn't say its specifically for the k5, basically will any 3" protectors fit ok? link

Dont know about weather seals Alan, its put that much rain down here today it would be better suited with a life jacket


And little old me! well I`ve got my fishing waders

I hate you now I`ve got to talk my beloved into a new lens which for some reason I dont think will go down well at the minuet

Stunning set of shots, you can bore me all day with those

Well I hope I can say that when I finally get to use mine, we are having new camera weather here! rain, rain and more rain
