Uhh, and educated presumption I suppose. LOL what cheaper than a D600? That's dreamland optimism for sure. I would presume a new Pentax FF, their first ever, is going to come out at the sort of premium price it's tiny market share would warrant. Up around Sony A99 territory easily.

LOL indeed, guess that just about sums it up

Another hypothetical FF thread, yet practically nobody 'Needs' it? LOL! If I was in the PRIC management team this Poll would not be encouraging me to write cheques for FF R&D.

How many of the 'Wants' are just dreamers and how many will fork out the cash when it comes to the crunch?

Perhaps if your white knuckle wishing for a FF just so you can pixel peep on your computer screen, you hardly if ever actually print your shots, much less at the sizes required to take advantage of FF - then maybe you should give yourself a good slap, and while your at it take your current DSLR out and try and get the shutter count into at least 5 figures.

Looks pretty good to me. I was never a big fan and hence never a big user, but it looks like they have sprinkled bits from Facebook and 500px to create a more enveloping (or entrapping ) space.

Congrats Gábor!

Belter isn't it?! Obviously has read Woody Allen at some point. The videos are good too.

Speaking of Woody, must say the exchanges on this thread remind me of the The Gossage—Vardebedian Papers.

Is it not simpler to just create a Hue/Saturation layer, this is itself a mask layer, you can then 'slide' colours out and mask paint other bits as required, (I would also tend to use Quick Selection tool to mask). This mirrors the 'quick & easy' way that Elements does it I think.

Depends on the image of course. Main thing for the novice is to grasp the non-destructive method of layer masks I suppose.

Yeah Charlotte, some of macro shots you've put on here have been really really memorable.

I love macro and I'm looking forward to the season changing, the DA100, tubes & Pringle tube seem to satisfy me, so I'd agree with Steve and say keep it simple and also offer another gentle boot to the rear

What has left me fed up, and perhaps this might be part of your funk, is finding the subjects! I go out in the garden expecting to come back with bright colourful things like I live in Madagascar or something, but sadly the pickings tend to be the 'usual suspects' of your average Scottish backyard. I only got my first Southern Hawker last summer down at the in-laws in the Lake District, and what a great reinvigorating feeling it was! You're obviously privileged to a healthier eco-system than some, but perhaps this might be a factor?

If the guy was at a camera club, I would guess he has some ambitions and standards?

One thing I've noticed in my time here is a how lot of now excellent photographers have started off with the Kx? So I would suggest do the guy a favour and urge him to get a K30?

Never know in a year or two he'll be using the K3 (or whatever) and producing some top work
