sorry if been posted before - had a quick scan.........

OK - Dad, has god knows how many slides......... boxes and boxes full form late 60's onwards, so their honeymoon, me little, you name it, all on slides.......

I introduced him to computers last year at 70! and digital cameras - albeit a P&S! don't think I can convery him from his ME super to digital, though the E has been in the cupboard for years.........

anyway I digress,

What I am looking to do (without him knowing) is to somehow convert his slides to digital..... then for xmas give them a digiframe with card in and fully loaded of random slide pics (and some CD's / DVD's of them all)

It must be able to be done, but how?

ANy help / advice appreciated.

Greytop -

All taken on full auto - not good enough yet to play with Av, Tv, Sv, Manual, 110 other settings...... (with the exception of the moon one which had a manual lens - think that one was 1/125 or may have been 1/250, f8, iso 100 (or 200) - i will check) - only photoshopping done on any of the pics is rezising to 800 pixels on longest side....., and the snails been cropped a bit but nothing more.

Shedloads to do to improve things in photoshop, but given all the questions about the K-m, thought I would bung up some "as taken" images....

as mentioned a while back, but dead pc's and crap interweb connections have prevented me from posting these until tonight..... just a randomish selection of pics, all taken with the pentax twin lens kit lenses 18-55 and 50-200 (with the exception of the moon pic which was with a 500mm reflector coupled with a 1.7x teleconverter, and shot without tripod so not too fussed its a bit fuzzy)...... - was more of a snap than a pic......

Just really a selection of landscape, portraits and close up (ish) - feel free to comment as am interested in learning to improve --- would apprecaite comments about how to improve "framing the shot" and yes, theres a ton of stuff to do in photoshop, but juyst wanted to put up some images, as taken.......

8: handsome chappie - as I am in it, I am absolved from all responsibility as to framing the shot - wifey is a point and shoot, so I was pointed and shot......... bit of cropping and blurring will make this a nice pic

as hardgravity says......

"Check who advertises in the comic, is it mainly Canon or maybe Sony.

Now check where the lenses for that system came."

completely agree.......

To digress, been a golfer for the last 14 years......every golf mag seems to pay the coin to the people with the most pricey ads - back cover, inside front and inside back......... there's never a shit TaylorMade or Callaway driver.......??????


The power of £££ and advertising presence........

Hi all,

Had this bought for me as a present but I don't have enough kit to fill it up (and am unlikely to either!). Fantastic bag but I cannot do it justice.

Completely as new.
