Re: Trying some things, thinking about cameras...

The difference in saturation and contrast is a matter of rendering. Are they in camera jpegs? If so, the rendering engines in the cameras are programmed differently or a menu choice (like vivid vs normal) are probably set to different values. If you’re shooting RAW, you just made different

Pentax drone photography?

Is there a drone that might be able to hoist a Pentax DSLR. I've seen some inspiring drone nature photography lately, but no *Pentax* drone photography, so I'm wondering how you might go about doing it. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for. Religion - Answers we must never

Yes, the K3-3 plus converter and long lens will make an excellent birding rig. As noted before I’ve gone to my K-3 for birding since I need longer reach following knee surgery. I tvwould bebperfect with the viewfinder and autofocus of the K3-3. Paul > On May 22, 2021, at 3:55 PM, Stanley

I don't often offer criticism because my own photography isn't that great. And I don't much care to be a "me too" ... Which is hard sometimes, because y'all have probably figured out by now, I have an opinion on just about everything, and I'm not shy about expressing them. On 5/21/2021

I just thought of something else… Within LR, looking at the 3 images as imported (i.e., under Develop, under the Profile portion, WB As Shot): 645Z - Temp = 5000, Tint = +36 K-1 -Temp = 5200, Tint = +21 K-3 -Temp = 5250, Tint = +29 So, different “normal” Auto

I shot RAW (dng). I tried to sync a Collection from LR Classic to LR CC in the cloud (which would have exported Smart Previews to the cloud gallery) but for reasons I don’t understand, the sync failed “because of metadata errors.” So I exported the cropped images from LR to my desktop as

Re: Trying some things, thinking about cameras...

Yep. The way a camera represents RAW differs depending on the presets. Render each image to what you consider optimum, then compare. The jpeg version of RAW you see when opening it is meaningless. My K-1 and K-3 RAWs look radically different when first opened, even though Zim using the same

Stan, I don't pretend to have the answers to all of your questions. However the K3III photo is not just brighter but has stronger contrast as also the purple is darker. Could be caused by different lenses. Something you can easily correct in Lightroom I think. As for a tele lens for the
