For £250, think I'd rather put the money in a new body, and sell the old one for spares.

Yuri,

It could be an aperture motor control problem on the body. If you Google it I'm sure some info will come up.

Worth checking your settings first though.

As you got the tip of the blade in the photo is it possible that the view you saw was between the blades, then when the blade moved it was in your photo?

I attended an exhibition and mini workshop with Martine Hamilton Knight from Line and Light yesterday.

Martine is an architectural photographer, who has a retrospective exhibition on at the moment at Bromley House library in Nottingham. The libarary exhibition is I'm afraid only open to the general public on Thursdays.

I attended a "master class" yesterday by Martine, which was really fun, and for anyone interested in the life of an architectural photographer or interested in architecture I think you'd really enjoy it.

There is another talk similar to the one I attended on the 19th of August, spaces are very limited though. Please only book if you'e defiantly want to go as I think there's only 10 spaces.

Thanks Bill,

I had heard that the 3rd party batteries tend to die out quicker.
I was thinking of ordering a couple of spares having had my official one run out on me yesterday on a shoot.

Any recommendations on 3rd party batteries for a Pentax D-LI109 K30 battery.

I don't really want to spend £60 on a new branded one, that I could put towards other stuff.

Any brands to go for or avoid like the plague?

Thanks

Bill,

Many thanks for all your efforts as a Pentax ambassador. You've posted some cracking shots.

Surprised Pentax haven't tried to persuade you and other ambassadors to run some workshops.

No 6, love the colours, it just pops and screams autumn.

No 10 cracking composition, and lovely tonality.

No 11, the wide angle and mono conversion draw you in.

No 12, probably my favourite a stunning abstract, that I'd be proud to have on my wall.

Many thanks for all your posts on here too.

Mark

If you trial Amazon prime free for the month, do you still qualify for the offers on the 15th?

Qc, you can def see the film has improved the process. Some fab portraits, you should be very proud of this set.

Tbh,

He's only 20, bit the worse for wear and been a little bit of a knob.

I'm sure most of us have done a lot more stupid things when pissed.

Hoping your gear turns up somewhere.
