As already mentioned I would second CambridgeinColour.com

For some video tutorials I quite like FroKnowsPhoto - he's purely a C**** shooter, but some of the tutorial videos he does are quite good, as long as you can 'take' his chirpy personality.

Also recommend ThisWeekInPhotography if you want a general photography podcast.

I haven't experienced any performance issues with my NAS, though with my workflow I tend to download images from the SDHC card to an internal SSD, work on the files there and when I'm finished editing I move the folder to the NAS so it's only when I come back to images I access them over the network.

edit - obviously USB 3 is quicker, I just mean I don't see the issue as I don't watch my PC copying files to the NAS as that's at the end of my workflow and the benefits of a NAS over locally attached storage are of much more value to me.

bladerunneruk - no flaws with plan A and the drive you linked to is as good as any. I'm sure there are better tools than robocopy (it's been around since NT days and hasn't changed), it's just what I'm comfortable with. I think the backup software built into Windows (especially in Win 7 and is fine and will do exactly what you want.

If you haven't yet bought your external disk drives it may be worth considering a NAS. I have a Synology which sits on my network sharing out all files and I can plug a USB hard disk into that and it performs it's own scheduled backups.

Usually most USB drives come with some sort of backup software but I don't use any of them. The only additional software I use is robocopy and I have a handful of scripts to make various duplicates ....

100% crop means viewing an image at full size. Your monitor probably can't display a full size image so scales it down.

For example my K5 image resolution is 4928 x 3264, but my monitor can only display 1600 x 900 so I see it scaled down accordingly.

If you use Lighroom then there is a 1:1 (100%) zoom option.

People will post a small part of an image (a cropped image) at 100% so that you can view the resolution of the camera.

I think someone who hasn't had a little whiskey can explain that better than me!

There seems to be a lion on the bridge

Gorgeous dog ... treasure her.

Of the two I like the second the most though I'd try a square crop on it.

We have one and I think it's great, it goes on and off on a timer each evening so no intervention required. I have a copy of the same photo's on my TV if showing a slideshow.

The only thing I don't like about mine (it's a Sony) is the viewing angle isn't great as the frame is slightly higher than head height when we're sat down and it leans back a little which makes the images look dark.

I like it that much I bought my Mum one for Christmas and scanned a load of her old photo's in for it and she loves it as well.

I can't advise legally but I read this story a lot over on Talk Photography under their Business forum. Usually the advice is to request to take down the pictures or send an invoice for their use.

May be worth checking over there as it is such a common question.

edit - Andrew's is a much better reply!

I've been to DisneyWorld and the Keys and really enjoyed both. Florida Keys is really nice.

Where do you visit in the UK?

Welcome to Pentax UK forums

I doubt many people have both lenses but I have the 12-24 and am very, very happy with it, but for a lens costing £750~ I don't think the build quality is good enough. I mean it doesn't feel any better than the kit lens and it's not weather proof, etc.

I haven't had any issues with it though so can't complain too much (just a bit!)

edit - if I hadn't got my 12-24 for a bargain price I would have definately gone for one of the Sigma's.
