Last night I took images indoors at a function for Halloween. A large metal building with fluorescent lights.

Dammed if I could get the K10 to perform even moderately well without flash. (forgot to take this flash)

I ended up using my KM7D and it worked like a charm, with and without flash. I took approx 100 images without and they all came out great. I dumped all the K10 images !!!!!

Set both camera's to RAW and worked at 800 ISO and 1600 ISO. This was my first major shoot using RAW only.
(I am now one of the converted. It was a breeze using RAW with Aperture)

Maybe it was finger trouble with the K10, however I doubt this was the only reason.

Anyone have any ideas as to why the KM7D killed the K10 in this instance ?

I would be very interested to know.

Thanks, RG.

Maybe some of you have read it. For those that have not read on.

Go to above site and you may understand why many small businesses, such as part time wedding photographers don't bother. Too much BS to go through.

Same goes for the artist having to locate the person using the song. Not impossible but hardly worth all the BS to take an individual to court over one tune on a small wedding photographers website.

If one is going to circumvent the law (I am not condoning it) and have music on their website, I do believe it would be a great idea to give credit on the website to the artist.

Highly unlikely to get sued, there is so much of it going on.

If however one is worried about that remote possibility, then just use Royalty Free Music from websites like buyoutmusictracks.com. Big selection of tracks from all over the world.

I like your site and most of the images, it's the kind of format used a lot over here for wedding photographers and it sells.

Loved the music, I guess some of the critics on this site don't know where to turn off the sound ! Simple solution for those who don't like the music.

It loaded real fast on my Mac, typical speed for other similar sites.

Just remember when one asks for comments on this site, one may get a lot of negative responses, or one may even get ignored altogether. I suspect some of the negatives come from those who couldn't set up a website themselves, or handle the stress of wedding photography and brides from hell.

The only thing you have to be concerned about is making you and your prospective clients happy. If the site gets you plenty of business, I guess the nay sayers have their heads up where the sun don't shine.

Good luck.

If you could only chose one lens for your camera as a keeper, what would it be ?

It doesn't have to be a Pentax lens.

Thanks,

RG.

Great shot.

Have to go and shoot hundreds of the little rug rats and their candy filled pumpkin baskets tomorrow night.

Thank you for the info.

Does anyone have any experience with the Sigma EX 30mm f1.4 ?

If so, your comments would be welcome.

Thanks, RG.

Thanks.

I was really hoping for some examples of higher ISO with the Tamron 18-250mm lens.
