    "Seriously twisted logic. A photograph of a work of art is like a photograph of a model, you may not sell it for profit without permission. Period. Fair use comes into...

  • This is BS.

    Did the sculptor put the snow on his sculpture? No. The environment, itself changed the entire nature of the photo.

    As for the caption. it is just that — a caption.

  • Yes,, I've had the same problem. Haven't had the camera fixed, as a nudge of the switch back towards the 'off' position seems to fix it. Took me on hell of a time to figure it out, though. Now, The...
  • I am extensive invested in both systems. Both have their strong points, both have their weaknesses. That said, either is preferable, IMO, to Canikon (although I do love me some Nikon). I wouldn't...
  • I own a lot of cameras, from a variety of manufacturers — Oly among them.

    I have to say that Oly is the most innovative camera manufacturer of them all, and the IQ of the 4/3 system is up to par...

  • The K-01 is the best photographic tool, for the money, EVER (and I've used some really good equipment).
  • They know on which side their bread is buttered, so to speak. My father-in-law has hummers land on him WHILE he is filling their feeders. Hummers are very smart little birds. I'd say they were...
  • Pentax should be concentrating on the basics — such as better focusing and flash systems (especially in light of their class-leading sensors). Other than that, I have lots of Pentax and Oly digital...
  • Replied in 150mm nails it
    An Albatross on the Baja peninsula? Good shot (what- and where-ever).
  • Love NS and PEI. Hope you don't mind a suggestion. If you can, straighten the horizon on the last shot, and re-crop.
  • Great shot. I've driven by that bridge on I-95 numerous times, and have always wanted to shoot it looking from the opposite direction, at roughly the same time of day. Someday, I'll have to...
  • I understand flash (I could, if I wanted to, use old style flash bulbs and the x-sync port), but, to be honest, the other systems are, if the complaints are valid, just easier and more accurate....

  • Created discussions New flashes, too.
    I wonder if the implementation of the Pentax flash system will be improved. I've stayed away from Pentax flashes because of the negative user experiences posted here.
  • I recently purchased a couple of Pentax bodies (k-5 and k-30), for the sole benefit of the high ISO performance/price point they offer. That said, even with a top notch sensor it can't hurt to have...

  • The camera is just a dark place for the light to go (and now, with digital, it comes with "film" pre-loaded for the life of the camera). That said, glass is much more important than anything else....
