And are you thinking that that is all you will pay? If so, you could be in for a shock.

They're based in Hong Kong, do not provide UK warranty, and will almost certainly attract Import duty and VAT, and a handling charge for collection of those taxes.

An extract from their T's & C's (I've highlighted the important bits in bold and italics):-

You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. Unless you notify SimplyElectronics.net of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your credit card statement, you agree that they will be deemed accepted by you in all respects and for all purposes. If SimplyElectronics.net does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by SimplyElectronics.net or its agents.

You are responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. SimplyElectronics.net will automatically charge and withhold any applicable tax for orders to be delivered to any jurisdictions that it deems is required.

Copy the catalog file to any disk for restoration later.

In your case, the catalog will point to images on the D drive.

If the images are still on D drive after the upgrade and point Lightroom at that folder for it's catalog when you re-install Lightroom, simply copy the catalog to a folder of your choosing after the upgrade, but not on a network drive, and it will still point to your images.

I've done it several times, and it works for me. All previous editing data is preserved.

I can't really see the point of mounting a camera to a tripod, then simply press the shutter button for the exposure. Of course that will induce shake.

If it's on a tripod, why not use a cable release?

SR may have been turned on, but was it stabilised before the exposure was , err, exposed.

That information is also in the EXIF data.

:

To assist focussing in low light conditions, many Pentax flashguns have a spot beam setting (SB).

This will illuminate the scene with red light (not infra-red but near infra red and visible), patterned in the case of the newer flashes, to help the camera's AF system lock on in low light.

When set to SB, the flash will not fire.

I don't have the money, can I borrow some?

Alternatively, think of it as a charity donation, you know your money will be spent wisely.

I disagree, but then, I can.

I use simple logic to determine whether or not to use SR. If my camera is rigidly supported such that I am not likely to impart any camera shake, it's off.

SR should be on unless the camera is mounted to a tripod or a monopod.

What is perhaps more important is that whilst the shutter release is half pressed, you should wait for the SR indicator in the viewfinder to confirm that SR is stabilized before fully depressing the shutter release. Failure to do so can result in blurred images.

Those of you who have experienced blurred images with SR on should look at the EXIF data of those images in Photome to establish if SR was stabilized or not and check what shutter speed was used.

I would bet a pound to a penny that either SR was not stabilized or an inappropriate shutter speed was used.

Nice image, but I think the guy on the right may have gone to Specsavers.
