In Pentax Digital Camera Utility you can do the editing on the first file, then select that file in the browser view, right click and choose 'copy parameters' .... now click-select all the other files then right click and choose 'paste parameters'. All the editing settings will be stored in each file and when opened for editing in the programme the sliders will all be in the same positions as per your first image.

Richard, that is impressive stuff, I thought I was about to watch the next Avatar or Lord of the Rings there! The pan motion is very good - its not handheld is it surely? And the cuts are great, excellent timing. The K30 video is serving you very well there (and the music was loud enough to drown out all the SR noise :wink

I've just started to do some J & L cut stuff myself - nothing as dramatic as you there (for now its cuts between kids feeding animals and the animals and pans around a farm yard!) - but it makes a big difference, has a professional impact straight away.

One point, I hope you don't mind, but to me the very charged music track is a little out of character with what are really very peaceful looking scenes, they don't go together as well as they could I feel.

But wow, great work, you are trailblazing Pentax video here!

Out on the hills one fine evening last week, I'm exploring around the area near to the Kenley Airfield gliding site. There are some spots just below the airfield with views in various directions, mainly west across the Kenley valley & south towards Caterham, which is over the hills from here.

All with the K7 and a mixture of wide angles (Samyang 14mm / Pentax 28mm) and telezoom (Pentax M 75-150).

Many thanks for taking a look and for any thoughts.

Oh yes, you're right, I really should have been more specific!

I find this idea that we should resist colour as the 'default' as rather odd .... I know mono developed into an art form in some cases, and for a limited range of subjects (crusty sailor men?) it remains the best way to make them flourish. But its strange to suggest that colour needs to be considered and almost manufactured into a shot -the world is in colour, and we see it in colour!

That is the true default .... mono imagery only exists because of previous technical limitations and the artistic aspect developed to compensate & make more out of it. The idea of a 'timeless' quality to modern images processed this way is just a hangover of an historic nostalgia.

I don't feel allowed to ask that anymore - seems to be rather unfashionable here at the moment, and I risk being told I don't understand the art of mono.

Ah, I see ... then you really would be out of action for an extended period!

Fair enough then Good luck with the aerial images - I though you usually used the Ricoh up there?

Ah you set me a trap! Deliberate grain - thats sneaky.

It will be interesting to know the reason behind this. In the meantime, I'd suggest you try out the Topaz DeNoise PS plugin - it really makes life easy, and it includes great detail restoration as well.

Its very original, most unusual, but all the better for that! The colours almost make it look like a tropical logoon, and the placing of the straight line objects has a kind of geometric precision to it. Lovely stuff!
