I think the castle shots are splendid, very dramatic.

Images where the main subject is Black and it cannot be a B&W photo.

If it has happened on two cameras then the lens circuitry may be faulty/dirty.

Dan, with regard to software have a look at Photoshop Elements. It does nearly everything full Photoshop does, certainly everything a novice at digital photography would want, and costs a fraction of the price.

The newest version is 9 but you can get the earlier versions for a lot less money. Don't go any earlier than Photoshop 6 if you want to be able to shoot K20D PEFs and be able to handle them though. K20D DNGs are huge so I wouldn't use DNG on a K20D.

I think Lightroom is far more useful than Elements. The library and adjustment features combined make it very easy to sort and work on photos.

For anything that requires more editing I still use Elements 2 which must be about 8 years old now. Still does what I need and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

That is not drinking alcohol, it is propan-2-ol rather than ethanol. It is an irritant, highly volatile and flammable. It is a very good solvent for use on electrical equipment though as it evaporates leaving no residue.

I could have sworn all the DA* lenses had rounded aperture blades.

Edit: Nope, just 9 blades.

Every cameraI have used that has M mode can dial in half or third stops for aperture. Shutter speed is an other matter though as old film cameras generally only had full stop shutter control.

You should be able to dial in 1/2 or 1/3rd stops if you have an auto aperture lens. If you are using a lens with manual aperture then it should still have half stops between each f number.

Now only if you could control the flash power of distance....

That would be ace. I don't need any P-TTL or other Pentax dedicated support, but a way to control the flash power from the transmitter would be fantastic.

Indeed, that would save having to walk to and from the flash. Although if you are using a conservative aperture and/or sensitivity you can adjust up or down. That is all well and good when you are only using flashes where the light ratio needs to remain the same. If you need to change lighting ratios you still need to go to each flash

Yeah, problem is it is a small room and using my umbrella (shoot through or bounce) is a bit of a squeeze.

It would also end up so close that the wall behind would be lit more than it was.

I'll have to play around some more.

The snoot in the 1st two does soften the light a little as it is silver inside so the light feathers a bit.

I'd like to redo 4 and 5, 4 with shoot through and 5 just somewhere better.
