Hi Toni
Welcome to Pentax User. You certainly made a good choice of camera.

I think you'll find that all pentax users are friendly and are willing to help and share their knowledge of photography.

Enjoy the forum

Hi Jim
PM sent

I took delivery after several months of waiting, of this lens (it has been available in two other-unmentionable camera mounts). I actually got round to trying it out today-one word.... Superb!!! extremely quiet in the automatic focusing modes.



I think the aircraft pictured here need a little bit of TLC
The range on this lens is perfect for my photography, if only all my lenses had 'silencers' built in.

I am utterly appalled at the decision by Adobe to withdraw the standalone software. I, like many many other photographers (who use Adobe) for their serious hobby purchased the software with the opportunity to upgrade as an when finances permit.

I accept that £600+ is a considerable outlay, but a regular monthly subscription to be budgeted every month is not an option for many hobby/serious photographers. The photographic magazines that offer tutorials all use photoshop-are the magazines going to feel the wider effect of adobe's decision, with lower sales?

Adobe Photoshop is an excellent product-probably has much more than I will use on a regular basis, but nevertheless I chose to spend a lot of money on the upgrades.

I don't believe that piracy is that much of an issue. I believe HENRICKSON (VP of Adobe)quoted 500,000 sales/registered users of CS6. I cannot see the argument he has put forward, whilst it is not likely to cripple adobe (though I feel it should!!)they might see sense rather than £ or $ signs.

The photographers of the world who use photoshop enhance their images, but don't make a profit for their efforts-pure satisfaction, are now going to be penalised especially those on low incomes or pensions.

GREED, PURE GREED, and I hope that Adobe senior management listen to all the adverse comments and reverse this stupid and irresponsible decision.

I don't expect HENRICKSON or anyone else in the Adobe camp will listen, but it's worth a try. Doesn't Adobe make enough for it's greedy shareholders with all it's other products.

COME ON ADOBE MANAGEMENT SIT UP & LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

many thanks CMW. Mixing up leaves and pages, must have had too much Christmas spirit.

Hi,
Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas. I appreciate this topic has previously been raised but that was 4 years ago-I'm sure things have changed.

Does anyone have any experience with Photo Books. I'm looking to produce a portfolio in a Photo Book, but it is like buying a mobile phone package.

I'm probably looking at A4 Portrait, whereby I can have either 1 X portrait A4 image or 2 X A5 landscape format images.

Oh and does the number of pages quoted mean one side or two sides (e.g. 26 pages =26 or 52 sides?)

I'm a novice with regards to photo books (In my day it was photo albums with prints mounted) Technology.

Yes, Ralphpiano there is a reward. The satisfaction that I have not smashed the computer, or my Pentax gear-or worse that I have replaced my Pentax gear with CanKon gear

I tried them this morning and would you believe it... there is no stock left. If someone could copy just the disc would be appreciated and email me with it.

I have recently relocated and cannot find the free CD for Digital Photo, Issue number 160 (October 2012). It contains the tutorial about Poster-style frames and how to place text within a white border.

What I would like to do is to create either a 12x10 or larger canvas with a selected print to sit within a wide white border with a title and/or my signature.

I've searched everywhere without success. I have also scoured my library of books, but the only one that comes close is Scott Kelby's book, but I think it is missing a paragraph.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Nice photos. Can anyone else see an outline of another penguin in photo one-between the main subject and the right side of photos? Or am I hallucinating again?
