Pentax Photo Gallery is not connected to Pentax User, so it is indeed a separate issue. Only they can answer for PPG.

There are problems with the way the site displays some EXIF data, but the solution is apparently quite complex. IT are aware of it.

Many thanks for sharing - I really like the look of that gorgeous van, and a fine dog to go with it.

The sunset is magnificent.

It's in black nylon type material and underneath is a more plastic-type finish in red with a velcro fastening to replace the contents, presumably. The label says www.thepod.ca and CANADA. There is a tripod screw in the top. The base looks like a waterproof material.

13cm diameter approx x 5cm deep approx.

Somebody was asking about the Canadian "pod" beanbag. I've just discovered I have one that I had totally forgotten about.

In excellent condition, no obvious wear and tear, £10 to UK including shipping.

If you use Av, you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed to match. To achieve a long exposure all you need to do is set a small (large number such as f/16) aperture and you'll see what setting the camera will use in the viewfinder display.

Alternatively, use manual and set what you want, but you will have to watch the exposure display to make sure the exposure is correct. Just centre the readout by changing aperture, shutter speed or both.

This is a huge subject, so I'd suggest starting with a book on IR photography.

As regards digital cameras we have three main options:

1 Use the camera as-is but with an IR filter
2 Have the camera modified to shoot IR images only
3 Imitate the effect in Photoshop

Once you have a bit of knowledge (from the book or internet sources such as Wikipedia) you will be ready to launch into some experimentation to see what works for you.

Very interesting and it's looking as though the Super resolution setting could be brilliant for architecture shots but no good if there's any movement in the subject.
