Re: A thought about tripods

I haven't found a tripod to help my composition all that much, but it does make my pictures sharper because I'm not holding the camera. I have. It does indeed force you to slow down. Outdoor photog pros will advise to hand hold the camera & roughly compose the intended shot & then move the tri

Re: Lens road map

Well, they make a 300mm f4.0 and the F 1.7x adapter is common enough, if you really want one. The maximum aperture for a 400mm f4.5 with a 1.4x TC would be within about 1/3 stop of the afore mentioned combination and only 50mm shorter, as well as probably being quite a bit less expensive. Mos

Re: Lens road map

I second this. The 550mm lens would be perfect for skittish birds, especially when there is little tree cover for getting closer. If it will be f5.6, as some people have guessed, it might even be affordable (or at least affordable enough that my wife won't beat me over the head with it when I b

Re: HDR

Have no basis for advising anything about HDR programs, but I have tried the in-camera K5 HDR. Can foresee possible future use. Note limb haloing/fringing against the sky. Possibly the result of pushing the contrast. (?) Jack From: Jens To: Pentax-Discuss Mail

Re: HDR

Too much. You're getting a lot of halo effect where darks meet lights. You could fix that by cloning on a pixel level, but that's a lot of work. Paul On Feb 5, 2012, at 11:31 AM, Jens wrote: > Hi list. > I tried out the in camera HDR today. > The K-5 offers a number of Auto-HDR features in this a

Re: Monitor Calibration (whats is everyone using?)

It appears to be spot on for the light on my monitor. It's definitely trending toward green. It might be a hair toward the blue and magenta side of things -- really just a hair -- but that would be right for the open shade light. Paul On Feb 5, 2012, at 10:22 AM, mike wilson wrote: > On 05/02/2

Hi list. I tried out the in camera HDR today. The K-5 offers a number of Auto-HDR features in this area. In this exapmle I used the highest equalisation feature: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72157629185875729/ Please feel free to comment. Which software should I use for "out off camera
