Hi foxy i would use Tv to concentrate on the shutter speed rather than aperture.But it all depends on what your after.I like to see shots of the artist with back ground blur' if there are any stage lights maybe f4-f7.This will also give you a faster shutter keeping the iso down a little.

You could also set the iso to warn you if it exeeds a certain range on the k10 .Also get there early and do a few test shots of the room to determine the light 'shooting angle etc.

Good luck

Hi everyone i saw these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Macro-Extension-Tube-Ring-for-Pentax-K-Mount-K200D-K20D_W0... last night and wondered how good they were bear in mind they are about £7 delivered from china. So maybe they're not that good' but have done a bit of macro flower work and usually just use my sigma 50mm 1:1 macro lens.I have never used extension tubes before so could anyone please explain the benefits as i am totally in the dark on this subject.

Maybe these extension tubes would be ok to practice on for a while but i don't know. any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi thordell when i convert to mono i tend to like images with lots of contrast and blacks.Maybe it wouldn't suit this image but maybe in shots of buildings etc.I usually adjust the contrast slider and the saturation one to suit.It's still a nice image though
