Just wait till you pick it up! I don't like my K30 so much now

Well I've managed to get me a Super Tak 55mm 1.8 to go with the above, (having sold my F 35-70 on ebay)......just awaiting its arrival with a roll of film! excited!!

Given your obvious proficiency your best posed shots will come from being relaxed and friendly with people...it makes them smile I speak from experience and I remember how I felt last June when I did my first wedding.

Just relax be yourself and it will flow well.

Looking forward to the shots

Daniel.

Oh yeah and my own personal wedding mantra: background background BACKGROUND!

Hi anyone have one they need to offload? Looking for the style that has the built in "lever" for easy removal from the camera, doesn't need to be pentax original

please PM me

thanks

Daniel.

Great Ken, but it doesnt answer any of my questions, and btw how am I supposed to do what you suggest as twas me on me lonesome!

I will try tonight, band without a drummer (me!) and we will see what I manage to get

Thanks Gwyn appreciated and John yes I noticed afterwards how i'd created a little "artistic tension" there!!

So to my question: You may have noticed the hissing sound from the mic until the drumming started at which point it seemed to stop or at least became inaudible. Is this because the gain on the mic is set too high?? it was at level 4. If i turn it down then i may negate the hiss but end up with audio that is too quiet. I dont have editing software or the money to get it so i want to get it right In camera. Im also wondering how the mic handles much louder sounds....so tonight it will accompany me to band practise!

I am interested in making music videos primarily and I know that eventually and of the camera mic and or full band mix will be neccesary, but for now i want/need to keep things small and as "compact" as possible.

Thanks to everyone for the interest in the thread so far. Lets keep it going and posting and commenting on each others videos

Daniel

Here it is! try to watch it in HD if your connection allowslink

Ha ha yes I could but i wanted to know how, and where best to put it!

edit: uploading now!

I can see that this could be a bit of a 'catch 22': there are no posts about video so we don't need a separate area but because there is no separate area there is nowhere to post

Does it matter if a section is created that only attracts a few posts? To those that post it does.

Absolutely agree, why do we have to wait until we "prove" that there is sufficient interest to get a video area??? Ive no axe to grind and didnt expect this thread to get the response it has so quickly, now doesnt that tell you something?

Oh and BTW would you like to see the video??

Make sure that the camera is in Manual mode and that you have set the camera to enable using aperture ring (for man lenses)
