Hi all my daughter was playing on her trampoline today and she seems to have got a little bit of static.

Needless to say we have capitalised on the situation and covered her with light bulbs.she now looks like a christmas tree

How about putting the frimware back to the old version 1.0 then trying it.

Might work

Hi Hamilton good luck with your course.

Macro is an ace subject to learn and is probably one of the hardest also.My type of macro photography is generally flowers and maybe a few insects.With the flowers manual focus is a must but if you are trying to catch a bumble bee or other insect auto focus is the key.

The depth of field on macro subjects can be really shallow because everything is so small so if you need to use a small aperture you will get a long or longer shutter speed so a tripod is also essential.Don't be put off by the fact that if you take a load of shots and then upload them to your pc you probably won't like any of them at first but as you practice things definately become much easier.

One of the good things about using manual focus you could keep the cost of lenses down by using old manual focus film lenses and using a reversing ring.

Macro lenses i've used in the past are the sigma 70-300mm 1:2macro / Tamron 70-300mm 1:2macro / sigma 50mm 1:1macro

All of theses lenses are great tools for macro work and are at the cheaper end of the scale.

Once again good luck

Don't bother buying one there will be enough to go around

I'm looking forward to the meet.I've just had an email from Pentax and they have agreed to provide some freebies

I've used a rocket blower for the past 2 years on my k10 never had a problem with dust' never had a problem with the camera either.

I touching wood right now

Hi all just thought i would show a few images i took today.All taken with a k20 and Da55-300mm.
