How bizarre! The correct link is: this one

PS It appears PUF doesn't like the URL tag and so I have changed the original message now too.

I decided to join in with the "Roll in a day, a day in a roll" group on Flickr. Their latest day was last Saturday (21st April) so I shot a roll of Orwo 125 ASA BW film using my Pentax LX and my 43mm Ltd. I thought it would be fun to add a twist to the day by trying to use just one camera and lens on the day, and using a different combo each time I do this.

Here are some of the results. The rest (duff images and all, as per the group's instructions), are on flickr at this link.

Best wishes, Kris.

Looks at that blue sky, and brrrrrr that looks cold.

Someone (on here?) recommended putting an Olympus Trip (with a roll of film in it, obviously) on every table. That way, there were quite fun images all round, and better quality than those disposable cameras.

Almost completely off-topic but never mind.

I rather like the one with the hand and the motorbike, but I concede that isn't what the unhappy couple were expecting.

For my wedding I set my camera up on a tripod with a fill in flash (the wedding was outdoors in bright light) and asked the guest (yes, I did say the guest) to fire the remote control whenever the flash ready light came on. OK, quite a few duds but enough good ones to keep us happy. At least with only five of us (bride, groom, best woman, maid of honour and the guest) arranging the group photos was pretty easy.

The SMC Takumar 28mm f/3.5 does have a 49mm filter thread. Do you mean the earlier Super Takumar 28/3.5 which has a 58mm thread?

I set the camera options to restore everything to my defaults when I turn the camera off, i.e., ISO to 200, no bracketing, no exposure compensation etc. Obviously I have to remember to set the mode back to Av if I have been using manual. There are lots of options as to what settings you want to keep and which to restore. As a result I often flick the camera off and on again as a quick way of cancelling everything.

Assuming you are on a PC and not a Mac

a) Go to flickr and find the picture you want to post.
b) right click on the picture and choose which size you want (maximum 800 wide for the forum)
c) right click on the image and select "copy image URL" (this is in Iron but most browsers will have a similar option).
d) Come back to the forum and click on the image button below the text box where you type the message. This will insert (img)(/img) in the message (but with square brackets not round ones)
e) Paste the image URL between the two tags. Job done.

Best wishes, Kris.

Why not just post the link to flickr?




Looks good!

I've just acquired a SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I also have one of the late Auto Taks that looks the same as the early Super Taks with the counter-clockwise ring so I'll avoid using that on my ES/ESII.

Now to go and finish off my roll for "Roll in a Day" day before the light finally dies.
