Thanks. I'm aware of that thread as I too found it using Google. But how does one get there using the site search engine to find it? Google might not have everything indexed so may have missed other references.

I've been trying to use the forum search to see if there has been anything written about the Pentax 400-600mm lens. My search brings up many posts but none that mention that lens! Is there a secret to doing this please?

Well done, a good documentary series of the NY coast.

It does look to be a photography workshop and they probably had to use the the ready made tripod holes for the purpose! Possibly this:

If it is a workshop, the course organiser will find it easier to make use of expected foreground features for the course demonstration rather than something that might not be there every time thus give an appearance he didn't quite know what he was looking for.
That makes sense John, thanks for the explanation. Funny thing is, I had a chat with the guy who was clearly leading the group and mentioned to him there were some good lead-ins on the other side and as I walked away he set of to have a look! BTW, the image you've linked to, how did you get to that particular shot?

A Google search for Friar's Crag images, especially one linked to a photo workshop. It just had to be there!
I'm sure he'd be interested personally for other views, such as yours. He might use your viewpoint next time!

These days I wouldn't think about resizing them and changing the DPI will make no difference. It did at one time with really old software that couldn't cope with dynamic resizing. I'd hope all printing houses have moved on from the 1980's! For large prints submit the highest resolution files you have for the best results. That even applies to home photo printing too unless the printer and its driver software is ancient (eg Commodore 64 / Spectrum era when it did help.)

I don't think kitkat1 will be suggesting it,
I didn't either! If it's somewhere in range with somewhere to charge my car i'll see what I can do.
Malham is probably easiest for those in Lancashire oddly! For me it would be a 200 mile round trip broken up by several recharging sessions presuming those places to recharge existed in the area but North Yorkshire hasn't bothered putting any in!

Perhaps kitkat1 may like to suggest something.. he resurrected the dormant 2016 thread. He can then prove he isn't here just for spamming purposes and pedalling cracked software.

On to version 1.43 now link
Thanks.
Corrected – Unstable performance may rarely occur in Movie mode or Live View status of still picture in firmware version 1.42.
Could this be the promised update that reinstates sensor stabilisation in movie mode?
