Don't forget the magnesium alloy shell of the K-5, which is a more robust pro-contruction.

Images in the galleries load quickly and that's excellent. The buttons to move forward and backwards through the images are not in a particularly intuitive place. By the sides of the image would seem more logical. They are top right and detached from the area where are attention should be riveted.

Hope that helps!

Initial look through is fast enough to load. The header on the pages isn't formatting properly - your surname is displaced over other text.

Where you wanted to underline that lunch is not included in the photography day the formatting hasn't worked.

I'll have another look now!

You will even be able to use your exisitng Pentax lenses on your new K30. Welcome to the fold!

It depends what you need to do and we just use a stable light source, sRGB workflow and the prints look the colour we see on the screen. Even prints done by a lab look the same colour. For general pictorial purposes it works just fine.

I do have a feeling that some monitors will also change colour and brightness when the mains voltage changes, so presumably some sort of stabilisation would be needed for absolute accuracy. I'm sure we've all found periods of time when the house lights seem dimmer than usual. There are regulations regarding supplied voltage, but there are allowed variations.

Just click on the downward pointing arrows and a box should come up asking if you want to run or save the file.

K30 is on this list, is this the update you want?

Some cameras will allow enough IR through to make use of an R72 filter possible, some won't. The *istDS was quite good, the K10D less so.

Using Photoshop to create a "presudo IR" images can be OK, but it doesn't get the ethereal whiteness of IR film, or the grain, unless you add it. Gaussian monochromatic noise and Diffuse Glow will do the trick, after using Channel mixer to up the red and some green and take out all the blue from a scene.

Looking at a book of film images shot using Kodak High Speed IR film will soon show how tame many digital creations are. Foliage and disused buildings are the stuff for IR phiotography, for me at least.

One thing to watch is that your own colour mnanagement is consistent. The defauult (and very satisfactory) setting is to have camera and Photoshop set to the sRGB colour space.

If the settings do not match that could be the source of your problem, or at least heavily contribute to it.

If the colours are spot on, then just make a lighter image to print from and see what happens.

I'd always suggest trying an inexpensive route like that first. You can still calibrate later if you find you need to.
