Well it's not the loveliest Pentax camera ever is it? Perhaps if he'd tried an LX things would be different.

There's always the greengrocers! I presume John wouldn't discriminate against captive-bred funguses.

Actually, I like Qashqais

You said it, it's your finest lens. Contemplating giving it up because you prefer a 49mm filter thread is a bit like trading an Aston Martin for a Nissan Qashqai because it's got more cup holders, IMO.

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that I was in second place for quite a long time in the most recent fortnightly competition.
I misread that for a minute, I thought you meant you were in the place you photographed for quite a long time! (Hope you flushed...)

Ah the old Raw versus Jpeg. Not to sound snide, but I think if you have to ask the question then it really doesn't matter, save yourself some storage and time and stick to jpeg for the time being.

I think it's one of those natural progressions that every digital photographer goes through. You start of shooting JPEG because you can't be asked to learn all the ins and outs of raw processing. Then eventually you start running into the limitations of JPEG and you switch over to RAW. Or alternatively you turn into a sports/news/some-other-prolific shooter and you don't have the time to deal with processing so you stick with JPEG, but at least you know why you're doing so.
I think that's most sensible response to this question I have ever seen!

Carry on with jpeg, but when you feel the urge, try a few RAW shots and see how you like processing them. if you're shooting something with a tricky exposure, that's a good time to dip your toe.

Yes - use VLC.

My videos also play (in any software) once they've been through editing software, e.g. windows movie maker etc.

John R, no way! Can you really see him owning that Cuban ashtray, and what about those nightclub pics? I still reckon it's Pauly

Lol... 'Inciteful' - surely not an accidental slip of the tongue!

and the dying flowers, like I said earlier, get a fancy macro lens (not no 'e' in lens), a fancy K something camera, bang it into AP and click away. Seriously a 5 minute job. Creating texture??? pah


What sort of photography, exactly, are you impressed by? As far as I can tell you can take a photograph of anything with 'a fancy lens' 'bang it into AV' and 'bosh, job's a good un'. According to your logic that is!
