Autopano Giga 4.4 ,2018 version, is free for download. Used to be a paid for licensed software but the company was bought out and now the software is a free gift.
I was watching this on the latest Keith Cooper video from North light images on YouTube
He has the relative download links and information on the video.

So a sophisticated Panorama stitching software for free.
I downloaded it without any problems on my late 2013 iMac
Looking forward to using this in the future.

Just a heads up to everyone, who doesn't possess any Panoramic software.
Keith Cooper swears by this software for its excellence.
Im unless at links but it is easy to find the video on youtube.

I personally would not have a problem with Pentax lenses mounted on other manufactures camera bodies displaying on this site, as vice versa already exists .
Others perhaps might be more rigid on this being permitted .
Great topic for discussion.

Maybe a poll could help
A possible new dawn awaits.

The few images that you have made privy are wonderful.
I would love to attend but circumstances make this impossible.
Please share more of these soothing experiences on this site

Best of luck , Flan

Today's gem is this: "For PENTAX - Universa Car Tele Converter"

I racked my brains to imagine why you would need a tele-converter for a car. Then it hit me. The original title was in German, and the translation software had decided that auto was short for automobile, and hence car.
Flea Bay bots should have detected this add and Autobahnd it immediately, for Item not as described.

Not one Ryanair in this lot, " You cannot be serious"
Great results 1st Ever, from a great lens, one of my favourites when I choose telephoto, despite the reviews by some.
I will never see mine as it is optically superb and I would be afraid that I might not get as good a copy further down the road.

Yes battery life is excellent on dslr, my K1ii also ( have two Pentax original batteries) and as well as the available Live view screen option, can be very handy in tricky light for optimum exposure and then easy to flick back to the viewfinder mode for framing and timing of the photograph. Never had an issue with battery life but then I don't burst shoot 20 odd frames at a time. I gave all that up, too much time looking in a screen to figure out the best or sharpest shot to edit

Photo no 3 for me, don't know why but it just works. The composition and contrast perhaps. Nice day out.

Having binged watched most of this series on Netflix last night, I have to say the cinema photography is spellbinding.
Its ninety percent in B@W but sometimes gradually seeps a little hint of colour.
Truly a fantastic feast for the eyes and clearly shows the directors love of photographic stills.
The compositions, the tones, the settings, the lighting , it never ceases and cannot recommend this highly enough for anyone who has not seen it.
All probably achieved with the help of AI
