Good thought, but banding is usually most noticeable in noisy shadow areas of an image, IE: Not enough light, rather than too much (getting in through the VF).

Not quite. A sentence is started by a capital letter, a full stop ends it. One or two spaces, depending on your school of learning, separates sentences within a paragraph.Quote:

With reference to ericp's comment about lack of capitals not being so bad I have to say I disagree. Capitals starting sentences help readers identify the break and so make reading easier
I thought that's what punctuation, namely full stops, were for wasleys wrote:

Perhaps these are the 8 (9 if you include yourself) members to whom George, and others, refer.No its not meant to impress.

Cloudhunter, you have succeeded once again in dragging this forum down to a low level. I think there must be something missing in your life, I hope you find something soon to fill the void. This forum is definitely not it.
Good luck with your own forum.

I think the forum on the most part write their posts or opinions quite well but have seen a few posts lately which contain text that i can't understand.Such as the grouped letters WTB / IMHO(i know these now:blushetc.
Maybe it's the world i live in i don't come accross these abbreviations in my world.On the whole i agree with George's comments and find it hard to understand some of the abbreviated posts or posts with a lack of information or vagueness.
On the good side this forum can be very enlightening and very informative and is my first place for pentax information.
Do you come across spaces after the full stop at the end of a sentence, or a capitalised letter 'I' when referring to the first person singular, in your world?

I dabbled with IR but could never really get on with it since the exposure times are so long with modern DSLR's. As John has mentioned, the earlier Pentax DSLR's are better for IR work.
One point though, about blacking out the viewfinder. I think this is only necessary for metering, not the actual exposure. When the mirror is up, it has a black opaque cover on it's underside. I doubt any light will pass through to the sensor.

First calibrate your screen, preferably with a colorimeter device like the Pantone Huey or Colorvision's Spyder 2.
Checkout ArgyllCMS and dispcalGUI.
My screens have never looked so good or as consistent since I used these (free) products to calibrate them with my Spyder2 (thanks to Matt for the advice).
There is no point trying to get your printing correct until you know that what you see on screen is correct, or as correct as is possible.
PS: Don't waste your money on 'cheaper' third party inks for consumer grade printers. Printed images will never look as good as with the printer makers inks.

I am also quite keen to send a film away and wait, with great anticipation, for the results. That is what I miss most from my photography at the moment.
Fair enough. Enjoy it.Mannesty wrote:
You will learn about exposure and photography in general much faster using a DSLR and at a much lower cost.
You say you "can't do manual" and "can it be used fully automatic" . . . so how exactly are you going to learn about exposure?
Stick with the DSLR, your learning curve will be much steeper with some help from this forum.
I can't do full manual yet. I want to move to an automatic film camera first and maybe move on to a manual only film camera later on. You will learn about exposure and photography in general much faster using a DSLR and at a much lower cost.

I couldn't have written it as well as you have George, but those are my thoughts exactly.
Thank you.
Thank you.
