Maybe Apple should buy Pentax...
Well for one I hope not. Only usable with Apple products, only able to process photos with exclusive and expensive software, and worst of all the object of desire of all those brainless Apple is God fans.

I'll be putting all my gear up for sale if there is so much as a hint of Jobs getting involved.
I empathize and feel your pain... but still... imagine an advanced optio or d-slr with a touch screen... three sliders... aperture, shutter and iso.... touch the slider on screen and swipe your finger to adjust... tap the appropriate shooting mode icon for fast settings... hit the green button icon... or the ae-l icon and slide all three sliders at once (you slide one, the toher two adjust automattically)... watch the image in live view react to your input in real time.... it'd be addictive....

Maybe Apple should buy Pentax... add an ipod/ipad connector to the pentax "stormtrooper" kx ( and release a white or silver version of the kr as well)... then do liveview on the ipod/ipad touchscreen activated as well.

The way I see it.... there is a possible solution... in a studio environment... requires an airport extreme, an ipad ap that lets you use the ipad as a second monitor over wifi, an elgato video converter, and a mac... you go from your camera out to the elgato video converter to the mac, then display over wifi to the ipad..

too cumbersome and expensive. be nice to just have an ipad connector with hdmi video in (and out) and a Pentax specific Ipad remote viewer/control ap.

Help!

I have been working like a dog just recently and the combination of this and the lack of daylight and a number of other excuses er reasons I find I hardly get near my camera at the moment.

I had a bit of a play when I got my flashguns from Currys and a rather half hearted attempt at some fireworks but...

Does anyone else suffer this?
yes. When I get the blahs, I force myself to make up a photo assignment and treat it like it was a paying job.
Or find a charity and do some fundraising...
Whatever it takes to feel good about myself and keep the creative juices flowing.

Fish & chips.... perhaps Englands finest cuisine....
That first one had me thinking of Andy and Flo

I noticed the writing too, but I've seen that strange tag line on your other photos and assumed it was your watermark. I thought it was a very clever watermark

Edit: nice pic btw, great lighting and colours.
it is.

Well, coming from JR, I'll take that as high praise indeed. Thank you.

The writing is relevant actually. I may be using this one for an ad for next year, haven't decided yet...
I managed to save my image then post it with an error, the top layer was off so the first post actually shows some flaws I later cleaned up, just little details in the skin, hard to see in the web sized, but visible in the print.
