I like the idea of the first section.. a lot.

Quite a few here have online websites/photogalleries. You could put your entire collection on what amounts to one page, and then arrange them in a way that you can just zoom/scroll to the section of interest. Another application, could be family tree sites. You'd have the whole tree on one page and just go to the section you want.. probably. Okay, not the most advanced use of the technology, but definitely useful nontheless..

Cheers

Hi Peter,

a good clean crisp shot. Good choice of nice neutral background but with the gaps in the slats adding to the overall without detracting from the main ingredients.. of the image.

Cheers

I make that about $150 per PEF (on my DL anyway).. and you'll get an impressive 8 shots to a disk.

Of course you could go for the much more cost effective 300Mb disk, if you have that sort of money.. but I guess they are more geared towards the Nikon/Canon markets..

Hi Pete,

I like the third one for the same reasons you stated..

I didn't read the comment on the transit until I'd seen the image full screen, and I didn't notice it.. even now, as there's another car parked next to it, it doesn't really detract that much from the scene.

The second one, if you shot RAW, have another go, and warm up the WB a notch, and saturate a bit, and it'll stand out more. At the moment the background is a little washed out. IMHO..

Cheers

Hi all,

I bought the above earlier in the week.. (scroll down)

http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/index3.asp?id=574&section=Pentax&set=3#

No complaints about delivery from SRS either.. as usual.

This is a dry cleaning kit. I haven't used a wet cleaning system before so I don't know how fiddly this is in comparison. It took about 10-15 minutes from opening the packet to having a clean sensor. This of course included understanding the instructions, and a couple of test shots.. I have to add that the sensor was absolutely filthy.

It's probably only a minute or two with practice.

Conclusion.. I have a clean sensor, so it does what it says on the packet.

The only small criticism is that it doesn't come in a litte carry case, as it's small enough to be carried everywhere, tucked away in your bag. I'll have to have a look around for one.

Hardly a well thought out and articulate review.. but I've got a nice sunny day and a clean camera.. so I'm going out now.

Cheers

Liam

Mozarella is made from the milk of the European Buffalo, just not quite as runny as the butter..

I suppose you could cook it badly and split it to get at the whey, then clarify that..

Hi Dave and welcome to the forum..

Firmware updates here..

http://www.pentaximaging.com/customer_care/software_firmware?sfFlag=f

and the latest one for the K10D

http://www.pentaximaging.com/customer_care/show_firmware?firmId=8793673

I don't use the K10D so I'll leave that to others, although I'd suggets having a go with RAW.. it's not that much more difficult than processing a jpeg.

Cheers

Liam

1024 x 768 on a 17" screen.

I've never had a problem viewing image.. I just zoom out if needed. With IE7, this is done using the zoom tab in the bottom right of the browser.

Cheers
