Centre spot with lock on half press of shutter release. Any difficult subjects and macro - manual focus.

HDR I would think, rather overdone IMHO.

A simple close up lens or extension tubes might well do the trick.
Lowrer cost options will be manual focus macro lenses from eBay. A screw thread Pentax one went quite cheaply recently, but to be honest most macro lenses should give good results for your project.

Most current laptops that are better than the really cheap ones will do the trick. Even 1GB of RAM will suffice, and most offer more than that now.
A good mid-range machine should be fine, but look at the quality of the screen in particular. Some are very poor for imaging, others are OK.

Thanks Lilly for the fast judging and congratulations to malo1961, who now has a PM from me regarding his image.
This was a tough one but the result was great in the end!

Second hand lenses will reflect new prices, so some big increases could be on the way.
Of course the pound could rally again, so maybe it won't last long.

I've never used the software that comes with any camera, so I wouldn't worry about it.

womble, you have there an early style Pentax back cap. Later ones have an extra flange that protects the electrical contacts.

You can cup the whole camera/face interface with your hand.
