Thank you Mike-P
I have downloaded the program, connected the K5iiS and voila! Had a little play with it, seems to be doing what I want.

I notice that the top display on the camera flickers after a short while, you don't happen to know how to stop that by chance?

Thank you again

I have recently returned from a trip and met a photographer who prefers one of the competitor cameras, He show me tethering and it was perfect for what I need and will save me time (no to mention backache) when in the studio.

I have searched on this forum, but I am confused as to whether the K5 (both) and K7 can be 'tethered'. I am looking to take exposures and change aperture from the laptop.

Can anyone enlighten me

An interesting topic.
I have been involved with funerary photography for just over a year. I have received very mixed reactions from funeral directors. There is a lot to consider, not only the family, but the venue of the service. I have had problems with one crematorium, and another crematorium owned by a large company have told me an absolute "no" to any photography within its' grounds-irrespective of the family's wishes.

It is still in its' infancy in this country, but we're getting there.

Hi Harlequin
Personally I wouldn't go loaded down with a lot of lenses. You don't want to spend all day constantly changing lenses. As reference point I would take the 18-55. The 77 or 100mm for more cropped shots.

Have a nice day in Rochester. I'm sure the weather will stay fine for you.
Don't forget to post some images on this site.

I have just returned from a very interesting visit to a photographic exhibition in the (old) Comet retail outlet in Southend on Sea, Essex.
The entry was FREE!! The exhibition in on until Wednesday 30th April

The images were from photographers worldwide and exhibited on a vinyl semi-stretched canvas.

Whilst The Photographic Angle has charitable status, it is extremely professional. There are some connections with the Royal Photographic Society.

There are other exhibitions on other themes at various locations around the country. The exhibition I viewed was titled Light in the Lens and consisted of about 30 or 40 images.

The website is www.thephotographicangle.co.uk


Please visit to obtain further information on future dates and venues.

The engraving to the rear of the camera body is a security etch. EYHA is probably East Yorkshire Health Authority. There is only one company (I believe) who produce the stencil/acid compound marking and they are based in Locks Bottom,Kent. Selectamark.

Yes Lancer3397, I have to agree with your comments. I was there on Monday. London Camera Exchange and Cameraworld were extremely busy as were the Nikon and Canon stands.

Hi QC
I think it is a nice photo, mounted and framed could adorn many a wall.

This is for MattMatic, I have tried this, luckily I have several K-5iis bodies because every time I follow item 5 ("hit the shutter") something falls off the camera. Anyone got a welding torch?
