I dont know what the heck is happening to my posts but when I come back to a thread they seem to have dissapeared , I was the first to respond to this thread and my reply is nowhere in sight, has anyone any ideas on whats going on?????

PS; for the second time, welcome to the forum

Theres not much difference in any of the various ways to get the exposure right, regardless of the mode it all come down to the correct balance of aperture, shutter speed and ISO rating, the various exposure modes simply allow users to choose the method that suits them best and assists with the type of subject. ie using shutter priority mode for action photography or aperture priority for landscape or portrait work where depth of field is all important. but that doesnt limit a sports photographer to using Tv mode, he could simply use either manual or Av and just make sure the shutter speed was kept high by setting larger apertures

In your case, pressing the AE button in manual will revert the camera to AE mode where the camera sets what aperture value and shutter speed it thinks best, aperture priority give you full control over setting the aperture.

Sorry Benckie but I have to agree with George on this one, we all make errors with spelling occasionally or have the odd typing error but I personally cant be bothered reading a post if it involves using my brain to decypher its meaning, by all means type your posts how you want, thats your choice, but as Mongoose says you'll get less response if its difficult to understand.

PS we are a friendly lot really, you have to forgive George, he's not a well man you know, he has the dreaded LBA

I've kept all my camera gear boxes

Ooooo, go on, you know you want to

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

We've heard it all before, the film fanatics who think digital is the devils creation and the digital cheats who think its ok to...well cheat.

I say do what the heck you want with what you want, just be honest about it and dont try to pass off a manipulated image as something thats straight out of the camera, Pentaxer has been honest about his manipulation (even thought the stone is still overexposed ) so good for him, pat him on the back and lets give him some more help at manipulation.

PS.....its waaaay over exposed, even the K10D isnt perfect.

Welcome to the forum. your image is crap.....or is that cr-aa-p as they would say in Ireland

Seriously tho', DONT use your digi as you would a film camera, PUSH it to its limits, bracket your exposures like theres no tommorrow, it no longer cost anything to see the results (if you preview on a PC of course)

At the end of the day all that count is .....are you happpy with the shot you took

PS, sorry for the "crap" score, I just got a new Samsung 22" monitor and have'nt got ot calibrated yet

I use a Tamron 90mmSP and the results are every bit as good as any of my Pentax glass.

Well after reading the original post and all the replys I feel I must come to the defense of the K10D, EVERY camera I have had, used, or borrowed has turned out slanting pictures, my K10D is perfect
