I use a Velbon monopod (carbon fibre) with a Slik Pistol Grip as the photo below.

Normally with a K20 plugged on the end

Thanks Prieni.

I shall have a look at both Photome and FxIF.

A (probably rather) basic question. How do you extract EXIF info from a pic posted in a thread? I can open images, but can't find EXIF info.

Another way is to download the picture and open it in an application like Photoshop or, even better for the EXIF data, PhotoME. It's unbelievable how much information there is in the EXIF when you open it with PhotoME.

Prieni

Do you run Photome alongside Photoshop purely for its EXIF functions and do you import an image into Photome as you do with Photoshop :

I think he started early but it must be a record entry

I think that you should keep it

It is such a classic little camera and an example of what Pentax should be doing today to bridge the yawning gap between the DSLR's and the Optio's.

A very nice set of first pics.

Next year I would try to hitch a ride in one of the balloons so that you can photograph the fabulous scenery below

I am not too keen on the juxtaposition of a very natural object against such an unnatural background.

I shan't be using the gallery at all, photos get lost in the sheer volume posted there. I have given up visiting it.

I still have not worked out what is supposed to be the difference between the Gallery and the Your Photos section of the forum.

Needless to say I have not submitted anything to the gallery.

I tend to only look at the gallery by mistake if I have clicked wrongly whilst intending to look a the Weekly Competition.

It's heavy is it?

Next purchase, a stronger tripod?

I tkink that its weight is quite reasonable.

I use mine quite often with a monopod

Others will have different thoughts, but I would recommend that you purchase Photoshop Elements 7.0 software which is a very cost effective product, containing all the tools that you will need for a very long time.

It would also be worth buying the book - Photoshop Elements 7 - The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage. Both of these can be found on Amazon, sometimes as a package.

It is possible to learn much of Photoshop by trial and error, seeing the effect that a particular button or slider has on your image, but studying the manual or finding an evening class would be better.

Routinely on this forum Photoshop is known as PS.

Once you get into Photoshop, you will find that it becomes addictive - a bit like spending hours in the darkroom experimenting
