I use studio strobes, elinchrom and they are perfect for my needs, but... maybe you need to check out something like strobist.com first before deciding what you need? you might even get away with constant light sources..

LOL @ Don... If you're really bothered about some faceless weirdo who you're never going to meet getting off on a photo of your son's ass (irrational but understandable) - why post it online in the first place? Even so, the thought of some paedo going to the effort of deblurring a pic seems rather implausible.
at the time there was no way to unblurr it and it was part of a series of vacation shots... I think you missed the point I was trying to make... LOL @ Don...

the flip side of this technology is that pedophiles that have previously posted pics of themselves with faces blurred are probably all lined up for plastic surgery as I'm sure the ability to identify them will result in some more arrests.....

But it does mean you might be able to unblur all those faces on Street View if you tried.

you shoot a crowd photo for example and somebody does not want to be identified so you blur out a face or licence plate... for example...
does it work on all kinds of blur?
Anybody remember this story? Unblurring has been around for a while, but it has usually required a lot of manual work.[quote:3496ace15f="Don"]the real problem is when you blur something on purpose then somebody else comes along and de-blurs it... who is responsible?

But seriously though. People who are paranoid about their faces being unblurred on streetview need rounding up to have their actual faces permanently 'blurred'.[/quote]I posted a cute snapshot of me an my boy "watering" the bushes on a road trip... I blurred out his backside which was exposed when my spouse snapped the photo... it was cute.. now I gotta worry about some pedophile un-blurring it and distributing it?

Is it me or do they seem to be dragging their feet reviewing the K-30? Seems an age since it's been out now.
they will wait until canon releases something that has at least 2 better specs, on paper, in the same price range, then do the review slanted in the canons favour...Is it me or do they seem to be dragging their feet reviewing the K-30? Seems an age since it's been out now.
So until canon releases a model in a nicer shade of blue, with a nicer neckstrap, and longer battery life, they'll hold off on mentioning Pentax's k30....

Algi,
Yes, the bokeh and general rendering with the 8 aperture blades is so much nicer than the DA55-300.
Think it's going to be superglue and Araldite later...

BTW, Sugru is rather astonishing stuff. Worth watching this video Right up Don's street for mashing things together

sometimes is the silliest things you need for a project that get the job done..
also hot glue is great for "injection molding" parts you might need... use something like sugru or plumber epoxy to make the mold than inject hot glue for a soft pliable plastic part...
ps there are solvent weld glues that are for plumbing and auto repair applications that might work but you'd have to do some research before using..
