The K5 is truly awesome.
I have decided, and told my partner that I simply have no excuses any more! The weakest link is definitely me

I've yet to photograph a female model who didn't volunteer the request to 'airbrush me as much as you like', 'guffaw'.
I often ask women not to use concealers and foundation as I can do that in Photoshop, and I need clear translucent skin, especially for black and white.
If they turn up in make-up, they clearly want to be enhanced, but I would always ask and I draw the line at modifying permanent features, unless that is my brief. Spots are here today gone tomorrow, so my view is why would you leave them in place unless you want to record that for some reason? A moment in time, an era of someone's life etc.

Ken, I love the smiley one. Beautiful.

The K-x is an awesome little nightclub camera. I've got plenty of perfectly good shots taken virtually in the dark at 12800 ISO, but at a more normal 800 - 1600, the images are virtually flawless in comparison to the K7.
(I like the tight film-like grain of the K7 tho).
Now... I happen to have a blue K-x for sale. But I'm not giving it away for the above reason. £260.

K10 and Tamron sold locally.
K-x still available...

Nice processing Chris.
It is a nice image. Closer crop for sure but I quite like the red fingernails, adds something to the story.

Photoshop could not parse your DNG file here. It came down as 10MB binary.
But I'd say Don has the best explanation.
Incidentally, both images above look OK here with regard to red blotches. Just underexposed.

Well, predictably enough, I like the Red Kite Mating page

Site looks really nice and tasteful. I like the write-ups and fail shots. However...
If you can make the text columns shorter that will aid reading the lengthy write-ups. This forum is a good example. Around 80 characters (width) is much easier to read (the eye finds it difficult to keep on the same line and find the next if it's too wide).
Incidentally, I'm not a big fan of black text on white, or other contrasty combinations as it becomes tiring (it kinda vibrates).
One advantage of making the text columns narrower is you'll have room for images in the text, aligned right, and in context. The fail shots for instance. Your images won't always fit happily in the very wide format, so this offers more flexibility. But keep them all the same width, otherwise it'll look messy.
er... hope that helps!

ha ha, not just me then
