easy.... tie fishing line to the dart, and the other end (carefully measured of course) to a home made switch made from two wires... wire then to the pc socket of your flash, so when the dart is about to hit the board, the switch closes and the flash fires........ then lay the board on the floor and make a clamp release (cloths pin) that allows you to drop the dart on target.

set up your camera at the dartboard, lock the camera open on bulb, set the switch up, shut off the lights, release the dart so it falls on target as it nears the bullseye zone the fishing line pulls the switch and the flash fires. a half hour to set up, and a few tries and you'll have it. And yes you are welcome, no need to thank me for ruining your dream shot!

anytime one of my kids comes to me and asks me to help them shoot something for them...I don't care what it is, photo, video, stop frame animation, school project, sporting event...anything!.

Best post yet! Amazing! Stunning! Love it!

I have a favorite saying "You buy cheap, you buy twice" basically get the best quality and or value you can afford... weather sealing is very nice to have, but a plastic bag and rubber band costs less.... so k5 vs kr.... no lose proposition.... as for high iso shooting.... the k10 doesn't have it, but you take a tripod and MAYBE apply some noise removal in post, and you'll still make great images... you just won't fare as well for hand holding in low light with high iso.... get the best model that you can afford, learn to work with it...

I still use my ds2 for macro work..... and portraits with my old ttl ringflash...

I have the kr and k10. Gerri found out on a recent trip, the k10 is better at the beach (sand grain stuck in the kr shutter button) I found the kr no better than the k10 in the studio. The kr smokes the k10 in low light/high iso work, and handily bests the k10 in af speed and auto color balance.... They both have thier place and thier uses... I'm lucky to have lots of stuff for just about any shooting situation... If I had to choose only one camera and cost was no option, the k5, but if cost was a consideration, then the kr.... you just have to remember the kr is a more delicate camera than the tank like k10....

I have gotten non weather sealed cameras in and out of bad places long, long before the first weathersealed units hit the market... the only real issues is convienince.... you don't miss any shots while the other guy packs his gear up. or starts wrapping his camera in plastic raincoats or has his camera tucked inside his coat... I was filming my son playing at a water park yesterday, with my go-pro, while my Pentax stayed in the camera bag...lol weather sealed, is still not weather proof, never mind submersable.....

I respect that descision. There are millions of unwanted animals accross this country, that are getting a death sentece for the crime of being unwanted. Good dogs get destroyed or simply die of injuries, starvation or other causes associated with neglect or abandonment. No reasonable person can justify keeping a vicious dog, especially where it may interact with other people in society... Sadly many people with vicious or dangerous dogs fail to grasp that logic.

I get your point. of course if you're a singer and you sing and no one in the audience is clapping or cheering, that tells you something in and of itself.... vice versa as well.

But others sometimes get a lil too hostile and to them I say:

The trouble is simply this... 15 people all making the exact same comment (eg "you could have cloned out the seagull in the lower left corner" is no more helpful than just hearing it once. I look at it this way... if you go into a restaurant and order breakfast, by all means feel free to be specific and expect to get your order done your way. You show up at somebodies home, asking for free breakfast, you should be polite and take what they're kind enough to give. Either way be polite, it is never a good idea to anger the people that handle your food. So when one person points out my spelling, I accept THEM and politely ignore the criticism. I'm dyslexic... spell checkers have limitations (esp when spell checkers can and sometimes DO learn your mistakes and start making them for you, or swapping similar words to what you've mis-typed) I make mistakes. People don't like my spelling are free to pass my posts. Me going on and hurling insults to or about those people is more likely to bring backlash on me than anybody else. If I do that, I should expect that. Reasonable. When somebody comes into my house and I offer them food, and they start getting picky and or telling me what, how or when I should cook for them, my first two thoughts are... well... Starts with an F and ends with a U. So two different people have opposing pet peeves walk into the same public forum... doesn't have to end in name calling.
