Clarky's Pentax rentals R us......

I am thinking more on combat issue trousers. Lenses in pockets,check in, pass the weight check, then put the lenses in the roller bag before passport control.

If you have a better idea.....then fire away.

Tickets are booked and paid for.

Then noticed that carry on weight allowance is only 7Kgs!!!!!!!

I had assumed that most international carriers were all around the same limit as KLM, 12Kgs. Not Qantas...

Soooo, I now have a dilemma. Which bodies and lenses to take for an extended tour to Australia.

Ken is now commercialised. With that, his raw technical dialogue has suffered. Some years back, I was intrigued with his articles. They were a refreshing change from the stuff I saw in some of the "too many" photographic magazines.

This is along the lines raised when I asked Mike P if he kept his files or deleted.

Being old school, I keep everything. As you say, it's so cheap to do so. I never cut out individual neg's from a roll or strip to bin bad shots.

I don't delete digital either. Hard drives have expanded way more than memory cards, so storage is still the way to go for me.

All original images are stored. PP images are always saved separately.

Two large HDD have everything. One is a backup whilst the other is used. The back up is powered up once every few months. temporary back up is on two 500GB WD USB pocket drives.

It's down to the individual and how they feel about clutter etc.

As long as my filing references are up dated, I find images easily.

What do you think of his review of the Pentax 645D , without laying hands on one I might add.
Like all of his reviews (most of which don't involve actually using the product in question):

If it's emblazoned with 'Nikon' it's likely to be the best example of that type of product, in the world, ever.

Anything else is just a piece of "garbage" with "garbage features real photographers don't need".

The guy is a complete joke.
I think you'll find that Ken is now a Canonite. He praises Canon over Nikon these days. He even mentioned that his friend Karl Grobl was selling Canon equipment but failed to say that it was due to him jumping ship to Nikon.link

As for him being a complete joke? That's an opinion many in the world would disagree with. He gave up his full time job as he earns enough from his website, not funny some how.

I take Ken as I find him. Some articles are his point of view (entitled) others are very informative (if you use Nikon).

I don't think he produces stunning images or can be classed as a pro photographer due to his source of income, but to slay the guy because he has an opinion or point of view is a bit OTT. IMO.

It looks a wonderful place and also not easy to capture the atmosphere of the surroundings.
Also two and three.

So should I have cropped closer? Maybe removed the leaf at the lower right?

The textures come and go, or do they?

Well I have done many such shots while dabbling in macro and have yet to keep one (mainly because I couldn't think of a reason to keep them)
Mike, do you actually delete shots?

I have every single shot I've ever taken from every digital camera I've used. Some are bad to very bad, others are users.
