I heard it said that "photography is painting with light"... Shot number one epitomises that!! Great set as well, Carl!!

What size were you hoping to print out, Pete? I'm guessing there's quite a few good A4 printers that give great repro, but fewer in the A3 range. Preference-wise, my own personal choice would be to consider either one from the Canon range, or from HP. Never having printed from anything (domestically, at least) other than those two brands, I tend to stick with what I'm comfortable with.

Hi, Zero... Although the link I posted has no direct relevance to Pentax-branded cameras, I'd imagine the principle is pretty much "bog-standard", in the same way that a car's engine will develop some kind of fault, that is universal in the repair process. Like Gamka says - it may well be an anomaly in the firmware that affects the type of batteries used.

Looking at the specs of this firmware update, it supercedes V1.01, which was supposed to address battery issues, so I find it very strange that 1.01 was designed to address that particular issue, only for 1.03 to undo what 1.01 was designed to do!

Silly question... You did ONLY load the .bin file onto the card??

Attach the usb cable to your camera, power up your camera.. if your computer "sees" the camera as a mass storage device, then it seems most likely that the .bin file you tried to update with was somehow corrupted.

As a matter of interest, did you use an sd card from a reputable manufacturer (SanDisk, etc), as opposed to "ACME" type cards?

Also, have a look at this link.

I forgot to mention - you can also record "on the fly" with it. That is - as the video is playing on your pc screen, you can record as you watch. Handy for any recordings on You tube.

If a disc is drm-encoded, you can use a program called Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate. I use this occasionally to get around anything on the BBC iPlayer if I want to keep a particular show beyond the 7 day viewing period. I also use it to decode some dvds I've bought from overseas.

I was sent over to West Berlin in 1989 as an on-board courier, hand-delivering some mag tapes on behalf of (I think) BP. It was my first time going to Berlin, and as we flew into Teigel airport, it was customary to circle the city, as we would have otherwise encroached Russian/East German/American airspace, and it was politically-sensitive at that time to do so. Seeing the famous Berlin Wall partitioning the city would have been a photograph in itself, but for me it would have to have been a photo of the first East German meeting his/her Western counterpart on that night, as un-beknown to me, I had arrived in Berlin on the night that the Wall was brought down. I had taken my camera (I think it was an SFX I had at that time), but I was advised to stay in the hotel, as "something" was happening on the streets of the city that night. For me, that would have been my "I was there" moment, captured for posterity.

What FLETCHER8 says!! Buon Giorno!!

I saw the title, and thought you'd somehow captured a photo of some folks I used to work with!!

Great photo though!!

Gary - is it just me that thinks that in the last photo, the guy in the glasses has been badly photoshopped into the picture??
