before i stir up a hornets nest, on theology, I guess I better connect it to photography...
You r photographing a wedding.
you set up a light to rim light a Bible, which is open and you place a wedding band standing up on the bible.
your light is casting a shadow from the ring that forms the shape of a heart on the pages of the bible.
do you want the verses on the pages of the Bible to be on 1 Corinthians 13 or the book of Revalations?
Your personal beliefs aren't relavent for that shot, but your insight is.

got caught...busted....ratted out actually.....
pintsized little stool peogion.....my second youngest....little traitor....
lucky for him he doesn't go to my school or he'd get such a wedgie on the bus ride home...
lol, it was good for a laugh or two.
speaking of judas's, anybody ever ponder the fact that of the twelve desciples...Judas was the only one that would've actually Passed a background check?
things that make you go "hmmmn?".

Today in Canada we'll be gathering 'round a feast with family and friends, bowing our heads to thank goodness we're not turkeys.
I intend to celebrate even more so this year by stuffing a cornish game hen into the turkey so I can later accuse Gerri of roasting a pregnant Turkey...
hehehe...should make for a good laugh or two.
If I survive, I'll let ya know how it went over.

any bedsheet or shower curtian, roll paper will do.

I'd skip photoshop ($799 cdn)
and go for a wacom grafics tablet ($140 cdn) that comess bundles with photoshop elements ($130 seperately) and corel painter 2 ($60 seperately)
and take the remainder of the cost savings and shop for photoshop plug-ins

a subscription to "outdoor Photographer"
a tripod
a high quality wide to moderate zoom (pentax 16-45 or 12-24)
a high quality telephoto zoom (50-200mm and a 400mm telephoto prime)
a teleconverter and set of extension tubes.
polarizer filter, nd grads (x2 and x4) blue and yellow varicolor polarizer.
bean bag
backpack

hit the library and read up on how to use your spot meter.
have fun!

I see brand loyalty being a reason for smaller shops to carry Pentax, to serve the JR's and George L's and Don's in this world....and Samsung to make inroads into big box stores.....and mainstream buyers....
I think I agree the smc coating is worth a little extra...but the badge on the camera body....all things being equal...I'd bet on a 8-16% cost savings on the big chain high volume box stores. Availability may be the deciding factor for many.
if the cost difference is at the higher end, and assuming equal build...I can see me shooting the samsung....with pentax lenses.

Do it JR! you must do it!
I use mine at Weddings!
If you angle it just right, groups at round tables come out with every person in view and minimal distortion!
garters and flowers being thrown (add two viv 285's with slaves, plus the 360 on camera, to cover the whole feild of view) capture the hight of the action with everybody in focus and said object in mid air!
rethink the composition rule of thirds, and keep the horizon dead center for fabulous landscapes!
distorted feild of view with closeup elements!
it's Pentaxe's ultimate weapon!

Too bad about the usa only issue...I didn't read the fine print, just the rebate part.
There's no connecting the dots on my thoughts.

I'm happy about the d10.

i saw a rebate offer online.

I posted both items at the same time...other than that no real connection

anybody catch this?
