I am also going Monday 21st

I took some press photos in O'Neill's Irish Pub in Brentwood HIgh Street this evening of the annual St Patrick's day celebrations, with my 2007 K10D + Kit Lens + Mecablitz 45 CL3 flash bounced off a silver refelector.

I gave a Lighting for Portraiture demo at Brentwood Photographic Club and also took my HP 'ENVY'm6 computer and Epson printer for the second half where I showed FastStone Image Viewer and PhotoShop 7 on Club Digital Projector and printed out a coupkle of A4's for the sitters and then connected to Internet via a mate's mobile Phone and uploaded to Flickr to show members how it works -- here are couple of results.
Strobist Info : Multiblitz Profilites main and fill, small flash on background, Flash fired with 'Yongnuo; wireless flash trigger and others 'slaved' The pic of Philip is by TUNGSTEN lights using 800 ASA and Floramie is by FLASHES using 100 ASA and a green 'GEL' over small background light.




CAMERA : 2007 bought K10D
LENS : a 'Gift' 35-80mm f4 SMC Pentax-F

I remember 'Greens' Camera dealers ! Your results are very good.

I like those 'LED's' to help to see things in dark situations -- many years ago when I DID get work I used to have to go to the Brentwood Centre to photograph stage shows and concerts and it was all dark in the audience and good job 'PENTAX' had that little raised white 'DOT' that you could feel in the dark when lining up lenses to change -- I could not see the 'Little RED dots' on the lens/body mount! Pity the flash synch is still not up to 1/250th though -- even my Wife's Nikon FE2 has that and look how OLD that is now ! I used that Nikon for some fill-in flash outdoors on local Press jobs -- my ME Supers are 1/125th but my 'Professional LX' is USELESS at only 1/75th !

All Good Pictorial Photos -- you should EXHIBIT them !

Scan from a 10x8" Darkroom print in my files taken some years ago when went on trip to Austria -- no record of name of town but on print it says ; ME Super + 28mm f2.8 SMC Pentax-M and film was the older Ilford 'XP1' which I home-processed. Mirror was on a motor-cycle.

Yes - next time if I ever go back I will take my Mamiya Press Super 23 with tilting back movement and use the 'Scheimpflug Rule ' !!
PS : I was GIVEN three cassettes of Kodak Panatomic -X dated 1989 but I used them all up already !

I found a print in my files taken at Birling Gap, East Sussex (UK) where I had used the minimum f22 on my 28mm f2.8 SMC Pentax-M lens and on a 16x12" print it is not really 'Sharp' anywhere, probably due to 'diffraction'. I used an ME Super, Grad Grey Cokin Filter, tripod and that Kodak 400 ASA C41 B&W film which I processed myself -- maybe the FILM is not very sharp either . It LOOKS SHARP on THIS size photo .
Print scan : HP Scanjet 4570c + Vuescan Pro+ PhotoShop 7

I used to do similar photos of thin rock sections when I was a Photographer at University College London, Geology Department -- I had a Zeiss Photomicroscope and used 'Ferraniacolor' Tungsten Balanced film and also I tried 'Gevaert Scientiacolor Negative ' film , both of which I processed myself.
