Replied in Awaldram
Very nice photos, Dick. Yeah, a safari is always too short. While you "just" move around the whole day looking out at animals, you always wait for this special occasion, rare encounter or unusual...

Replied in Nikon shot down D4 with D800
When I am the official photographer of a beach volleyball event, I want a fast camera to capture the action and a ruggedized camera when I go shooting directly on the sand.
I added Nikon in my...

Replied in Nikon shot down D4 with D800
The D800 is certainly a wonderful camera for portrait works and landscapes. But for sports photographers, the fps is too slow and the 36MP is an overkill when you have to process the photos quickly...

Thank you Rusma for letting me have a try in post processing the file.
Post processing an IR portrait is definitely more complicated than a landscape were I am much more used to.
Here is my...

Replied in Entering the fun era with K01?
The K-01 is an interesting camera, it will take all my K lenses right from the first day and without any adapter and fear that not all would be supported.
I think the K-01 can make a nice combo...

Replied in Pentax 645D vs D800 Image Quality
I never tried to figure out what's behind the overall scores of dxo, and I do not really care about, the resolution gives me an indication as to which size I can print a photo or what cropping...

Replied in Pentax 645D vs D800 Image Quality
Well, yes, I came to the conclusion that there is no camera shining in all situations I want to cover.
* when needing a light setup: K-5
* when needing fast AF and/or high ISO capabilities:...

Replied in Pentax 645D vs D800 Image Quality
I am not a neutral observer neither as I use K-5, 645D, D700 and D3s.
The D800 sensor shares the same sensor technology than the K-5 and does even feature the same pixel density (the D800 in DX...

Replied in Very serious competition.
The active sensor area of the 645D is 33.1mm x 44.2mm, just like the Hasselblad H4D-40 which shares the very same sensor.
SR is not an argument for the 645D, as it simply has no...

On one hand, I would be tempted to say that the full size samples of the D800 are not from a production camera and probably an unfinished firmware, but why would Nikon then publish full resolution...

Replied in Very serious competition.
Yes, I saw it but did not take part in the discussion, yet.
The D800 is certainly a very capable camera and I am really tempted in getting one. I do have the quality glass needed to bring out...

Replied in Very serious competition.
Just a few thoughts from a dual Pentax/Nikon shooter using K-5, 645D, D700 (sold now), D3s. By the end of next week, I should add the D4.
The D800 does certainly make the gap between FF and MF...

Replied in High Country Winter (photos)
Excellent series. You are right, mountain landscapes after a fresh snowfalls are wonderful.
Here are a few photos from Saturday, from a sport events I was asked to cover (but I covered it with...

Replied in Missing from the roadmap?
Yes, the problem is that since Pentax dropped the aperture ring on the newer lenses, there is a whole bunch of accessories missing like extension tubes and teleconverters.
The lack of...

Definitely!
No
No
Only if DA* or WR.
Yes
Unlikely, neither wide enough nor tele enough.
This could replace my DA12-24, if the new one is DA* or WR.
But first, it...

Thank you. I never attended such an event before and was unsure about what awaits me.
Thankfully, the textil industry features some pretty warm clothes and the chemical industry some pads to...

Replied in Freestyle Event
Thank you. But the superbly fast AF of the D3s with the AFS 70-200/2.8 VR2 makes it a relative easy task, but you still have to anticipate on what might happen to frame it right, and sometimes, I...

Replied in Freestyle Event
Thank you. Well, I was experimenting as well, it was my very first freestyle event as photographer. However, I used the same technique as for other sports events, AF-C, 9 AF-points and continuous...

Hi
Some might remember my request a few days ago where I asked how the D3s performs in cold temperatures as I was asked to cover a freestyle event.
The event was yesterday, the "Eggli Rail...
