Posted on: The Basics Of Understanding RAW Files
I tried this 'RAW' business in my Pentax K10D and honestly I can't see any difference !! I used the DNG 'Raw' and put it into 'FastStone IMage Viewer' as my PhotoShop 7 doesn't do RAW processing -- there was a pic of a young girl I took with bounce flash at her Birthday party and the face was over -exposed and even with RAW I could not get the detail back. In the Darkroom with FILM I have no probs getting detail into highlights that are a bit dense - I just burn them in with a hole in a piece of card or with my hands ---- 14 Jul 2014 9:46AM

Posted on: Pentax K-3 DSLR Review
It still has the 1/180th fastest flash synch speed though doesn't it ? I do a lot of fill-in flash outdoors -- even on a Canon T90 I have on loan from a Camera Club member it has 1/250th second flash synch and so does the Nikon FE 2 and others.- 24 Dec 2013 12:57PM

Posted on: Great Travel Photography
I suffered CONDENSATION on my latest trip to the Philippines July-August -- I ruined my Canon Video camera which wouldn't work until I got back to UK, then I got it under front element of my 24mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena lens and under the rear element of my Pentax 28-70mm f4 SMC Pentax-FA lens and that is still there !- 9 Sep 2013 10:35AM

Posted on: Snap it
yes :I too had to open a Yahoo and Flickr account then when I tried to upload a photo it would not work - there was no 'browse' button to find photos in my computer but there was a 'submit photo' thing in yellow which did not work ! Is this GENUINE ?- 25 Apr 2008 12:23PM

Good news;now I hope they will bring out some more surfaces for their Multigrade paper. I miss a nice 'lustre'; the 'Pearl'is a bit boring and I find it leaves drying marks very easily.- 19 Jun 2005 1:05AM
