I have my 'Full Frame' 1973 'Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F' loaded with some 2008 dated HP5+ at the moment and enjoying taking it out ---

Gartmore : OK then -- I also found an article by Ross Smythe in the October 2001 Pentax Magazine on Portraits by Daylight . When I used to run the Essex Group of the Pentax Club we used to have lots of practical events and one month Peter & Liz Cox who ran the Club hired the whole of 'Old House' here in Brentwood, Essex -- we had models in different rooms brought by Ross and we also went over to the Pond for daylight shots -- that was when the Pentax Club had about 27,000 members !! I gave it all up when Wife No. 2 went off with the Vice-Chairman of Barking Photographic Society.
I also used to get lots of photos in the Pentax Magazine,, and whole page articles -- I found the one on my Press photography while looking through - I have the whole SET of the magazine -- but many are in the loft and I don't know where Wife No. 3 has put them !!

Come back 1961 Asahi Pentax SV and Kodachrome -- all is forgiven ---

Yes -- come on Ross -- show us !! I have just been re-reading your article 'Portraits by Flash ' in the January 2001 Pentax Magazine where you show your Hair Light effect etc -- shall I scan a page to show here ? !!

Ross -- we are waiting to see some of your famous 'Glamour' photos taken with your multipls flash and your Pentax Cameras -- you used to get them in the 'Pentax Magazine' every time -- I remember how you showed the 'Hair Light' from a small rear flash with a black tube over it -- and ones by 'Window Light' all on REAL FILLUM though !! ---

I got the Yongnuo CTR-301P and it works OK with all my Hot Shoe flashes and it has a large jack plug that works with my old Bowens Monolites but I did have to change the wavelength thing on it .

Yes Thanks so much -- a view from the 'Infamous Pentax Expert' John Riley himself !! ( Bows down in Awe --- )

Hi all -- I have done Two Videos on my PENTAXES on You Tube -- I am only a 'Beginner' on Videos BUT at least I do not 'Waffle On' as so many do AND I show some Photo RESULTS -- please have a look ---

'Evening Light Blea Tarn' is the most 'Pictorial' one there with that light effect -- worthy to send to some Exhibitions.Benn Youth Hostelling around there -- Wastwater YHA was good -- never got such good 'light' though.

I went there with family in 2007, stayed in Limone -- well there is so much UV light and haze because of evaporation from the water surface you have done the best you can get. No use 'digitally faking it ' really !
