Re: Pentax K20D
Well, I've owned the K10D for less than a year and am considering a body upgrade to the K20D for an upcoming gig. Both cameras are quite similar, but the K20D has a superior processor and greater resolution. Jpegs are much better out of the camera too. So I'll speak from my experience with the K10D which I enjoy using a… -
Re: Roller case - Pelican vs ThinkTank
I have the Pelican 1510, with the padded dividers. I ordered the case with the pluck-n-pull foam and found that to be a HUGE waste of space/volume. Bought the dividers from the same folks from whom I purchased the case. Here are three images that might help you a bit. 1. I pack the case in 2 layers. This is the first… -
Re: The Mid Hants Railway, Hampshire, UK
Thanks for your comments and for viewing Wil. Dr Beeching certainly has a lot to answer for. Not far from here there used to be a rail link between Hayling Island and Havant. This was a very popular, well supported line but was closed in the 1960's. There is now only ONE fixed link to Hayling Island, a single carriagway… -
Re: More on focusing
Assuming your DOF calculation is correct and why would it not be, this is much tighter than I would ever try to get all of her looking sharp given her side-on pose. But then I am an amateur. After 40 years photography I accept it as an analogue medium - now trying to go digital. Most obvious is the weight of glass that has… -
Re: MyCanvas books and collages
Instead of using blurb for this project, I decided to use your company instead for a special birthday gift for a friend. MyCanvas seems to provide a very nice product and I wanted to give you a chance. For my friend's birthday, she decided to rented the Monterey Bay Aquarium to mark the milestone of reaching half century… -
Re: My Chinese National Week
LIKE many towns in the coutry, Hezhou has some older areas with houses built in the 40's or older.I wanted to head to one of these areas to take some photos. I didn't really get much worth showing but we approached the area where my wife used to live way back when. Her apartment was built in the 70's and it was at one time… -
Re: Help Baldy shoot for a 120x180 peep-proof print
120 inches at 300 pixels per inch = 36,000 pixels 5DMkll is 5616 pixels in the long dimension of the frame, and 3744 pixels long across the short dimension. 36,000 / 3744 =~ 9.6 frames - I'll call it 10 - allow 50% overlap, so 15 frames is more than enough in portrait mode on the long dimension of the image 60 inches at… -
Re: Blue Ray Disks
Yes, you need a special writer and reader. Writers are fairly expensive (on par with the original 1X CD-R drives), and the media is extremely expensive (like the original dual layer DVD-RW). I'm not sure what the estimated life of the discs are, and I'd personally be pretty suspicious of any claims. In my opinion, while… -
Re: My 2nd Wedding - Another Favor
Met, don't let this wedding shoot affect you, or your friendship with the bride and her family. When you give something away (donate) to a friend...it's just that...gone. Place a followup call...not for your interest, but for theirs. Find out if they ran short of money, or something else happened. And, then let it go.… -
Re: [Disease+1] Looking for an EF/S zoom lens.
macro zooms can focus closer than a normal zoom lens, and a zoom lens is a zoom lens like you're used to. I second the 'stick with what you have' idea. I had a 24-120 vr (I shoot Nikon, not Canon) for a while with a 60mm macro prime. I then grabbed a 50mm 1.4 used from a guy switching to Canon for the 5d. Those were my…
