a link to WIZIWYG, the best (or one of the best, at least) free monitor calibration apps. TBH, I haven't checked to see if the file is still current, but if not, let me know and I'll stick a fresh copy on my website for you to download.

Oh, and Matt, if you read this, is there somewhere on this site where we can host downloads that are unavailable elsewhere, if necessary? Or maybe ephotozine?

They're cracking shots Galoot. We'll definitely have to go up there again this year. IIRC, if you go across the ferry, and drive left, a bit further down, there's an island in the middle that had seals sitting on it. I took some, but the longest lens I had was a 70-210 on an ME Super, so they were a bit small. Should be easily in reach for me now.

Brian,

you have to go down the pub, it's heresy not to. I'm just off out myself, as it happens. I'll have one for you..

Cheers

Right eye, but again for moving subjects I keep both eyes open. I went through a spell of taking pictures of Red Kites in flight, and with a long lens, it's nigh on impossible to find them quickly.

Superb Pete..

I can't add to that..

Hi Tim,

It could be.. I got my DL, and within 5 minutes of going through the menu to set up bits and pieces, whilst having little idea of what I was actually doing, I set the language to Chinese.

This being a language I'm not familiar with.. , I didn't understand the menu then, and couldn't change it back to English. Luckily the chaps here sorted me out.. mind you, I could have just risen to the challenge and taken evening classes in Cantonese, but I was lazy..

Cheers

Hi Peter,

As I found out the other day here (and tested) you can use wireless in M or A modes with the 360, and I'll assume the 540, with the entire D range. Use the popup flash as controller (this happens automatically), and set the 360 to Slave 2 (p49 of manual)..

I didn't realise until this thread, that it is purely a firmware app..

Matt,

this is your area of expertise, how likely is it that this would happen? Can they just cannibalise the chunk of code for wireless P-TTL and stick in the firmware for the other D cameras, or is it more complicated?

Cheers

Liam

It's just occured to me, but how difficult would it have been to stick another hotshoe on the (left hand) side of the body of any Pentax camera, so that you could just mount the gun on it for portrait? I would guess that flash is used at least as much in portrait as landscape..

Oh well, just a thought.

Cheers

Nothing to do with photography, but this made me laugh when I heard it on TV yesterday..


How many amoebas does it take to change a lightbulb?

1.. no, 2.. no, 4.. no, 8.. no, 16.. no, 32.. no, 64.. no........

There was this haunted house on the outskirts of the town which was avoided by all the townfolk - the ghost which `lived' there was feared by all.

However, an enterprising journalist decided to get the scoop of the day by photographing the fearsome phantom. When he entered the house, armed with only his camera, the ghost descended upon him, clanking chains et al. He told the ghost "I mean no harm - I just want your photograph". The ghost was quite happy at this chance to make the headlines - he posed for a number of ghostly shots.

The happy journalist rushed back to his dark room, and began developing the photos. Unfortunately, they turned out to be black and underexposed.

So what's the moral of the story?

The spirit was willing but the flash was weak.

I just noticed that the flamingo was dribbling...

Are you attractive to the birds then Spidey..
