Nikon isn't one of the choices though...without doubt I would recommend the Pentax 12-24mm, a stunningly good lens.

The K10D is an excellent camera and will give good service.

It can remove bugs, improve camera performance, make it compatible with other new items (such as GPS) and may be worth doing.

Doenload the file onto an SD card, you'll find it and the instructions on the Pentax website. Do a search on this forum and help will be found.

If you switch the camera on whilst holding down the menu button the firmware version will be displayed.

That's a good subject and wide open for interpretation. Excellent.

Whatever has been done, I feel the contrast is too high. The consequence of this is that the skin tones suffer, the dark suit loses any detail and the white dress does as well. The lighting seems very strong indeed, for example in No 5 where there is a huge shadow.

Not knowing what was done it's difficult to suggest anything in detail, but in a general sense wedding photography benefits from lower contrast. So I would ease off the contrast. There is also a blue line on the background around some details, try moving the subjects into shadow areas, using a reflector or as mentioned fill-in flash.

For superb advice buy the Brett Harkness DVD.

Sharp and noisy (grainy) will always be better than smooth and blurred.

Someone bumped into my son when he was at primary school and broke his arm. This was all a rather excessive game of Thomas the Tank Engine, which just goes to show how dangerous children's books can be. He got better of course and he's an architect now.

Hopefully he designs better playgrounds, his last school project was Culcheth High School.
