Amin's account has been reactivated now and I guess we don't really need to know the reasons for his temporary absence. That should remain between him and the moderator(s).
Let's move on. Thread can be locked now I think.

Common sense prevails. Welcome back Amin.

I realised my comment was perhaps inaccurate but when I came to edit it, I couldn't because another forum rule prevented me from doing so.Quote:

For a start, this is totally untrue. The moderators are on no side, we just moderate. Sometimes it's liked, sometimes not, but we do at least have all the information, not just some of it.the moderators are on his side.

I missed that. Did he give his reasons for leaving? I know he's trying out another camera system, but he'll soon learn to regret that I think.He announced that he was leaving, to which a few of us responded, then everything suddenly vanished
Was it November 5th, was he plotting to blow up parliament or something?

Silly me, I thought it was the EU flag, not the UK government one...Avatar : Not disagreeable to me in the slightest, it seems to be aimed more at the UK government than anything else anyway.
I've had enough of his postings that don't actually invite C&C, but just C(omments) and only positive back slapping ones at that. He doesn't take the C(riticism) part too well.
The fact that the moderators have not insisted he change his avatar says something about the changing attitudes of this forum.
If nothing is done about it very soon, I'll be joining Gwyn and others who have left for similar reasons.
Threads of a political nature have recently been removed from this forum yet his avatar remains. Why ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is a photography forum, more specifically, a Pentax forum. Why are obvious politically motivated statements like his avatar not dealt with as sternly as Amin seems to have been. ? ? ? ? ?
I suggest all those that object should send all of the admins a pm stating as much.

Mike, his eyes are pin sharp, trust me. Cheers.
If that bloke at the top thinks that he is offended by my avatar, well think about the people in my country that have not ever been given a referendum on whether we'd like to give our sole sovereignty and rights over to unelected bureaucrats in the EU.
This is all I have to show where I stand on this issue.
If your offended by this you really need to grow a spine.
Your images are welcomed here by some, your political views are not. Your avatar makes a statement which is disagreeable to some people here.Mike, his eyes are pin sharp, trust me. Cheers.

You should think considerately about changing it, and moving it to a site where it might be relevant.

Try RawTherapee, it's free. A £14 copy of Lightroom will be an illegal copy.

Th *istDS uses both TTL and P-TTL Mike.
I just had a look at cameramarts web site. Did anybody spot that they are using an image of a Pentax camera for their DSLR pages? Shame they haven't got any DSLR's for sale . . . from any maker.

Your shake reduction was 'not ready' in both. When you half press the shutter button you need to wait for the SR ready symbol in the viewfinder before pressing the shutter button fully to take the shot.
Shots 3 & 4 show the SR system as 'stabilized'.
