They are still listed as being there (unlike Canon:shock but according to pentaxforums Pentax have withdrawn from PMA this year. I guess that means waiting until March 11th for the news at the Japanese exhibition .

March 11th is the birthday of both my husband and grandson so I shall be too busy to keep check of the news.

Lol! Where did they all COME from?

They're actually quite good, but you need a manual flash gun to trigger them. Pre-flash fools them. I used one to supplement an old Miranda CD700 (bounced) with a bit of side lighting in this 'product shot.'
Which is why mine is gathering dust somewhere in my room. .

As I understand it you are pushing the flash button and it is not popping up?
The flash should pop up if you press the flash button on the side. Even with the camera switched off it will do that. At least on the K20D it does.
It sounds like a fault to me. Sorry.

I think you need to go for something much simpler.

Look at these from the gallery:

Not all symmetrical, but they are good for ideas.

Get those pencils out of their boxes and line them up so they are symmetrical and interesting. Or find a Mercedes or a Toyota badge you can photograph.

I like them too, particularly the second one.

I don't think it is HDR. HDR wouldn't work for this portrait. It is just a well composed, well exposed, well converted photo.

I've never used the full version, but I do like Elements.

That is good news. Nice of you to enquire first too.

I hope to visit Chester Cathedral sometime - the choir screen was carved by an ancestor of mine. So if you take any photos of that I'd be interested in seeing them.

Well I just hope the operators are well enough trained in the use of these scanners. My local DIY hardware store manager is now a member of the security staff at the local airport Oh the recession...
The scans at Schiphol are analysed by computer. The operator see only a simple picture of a person. If something is found during the scan you are then patted down, but only in the area indicated by the machine.

They also have full body scans using x-rays at Schiphol, but they are used for 100% checks of flights from certain countries to find drug smugglers.
