  • 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...
  • Replied in My try...
    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...
  • Replied in Very serious competition.
    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...
  • Replied in would you buy....?
    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...
  • Replied in Freestyle Event
    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...
  • Created thread Freestyle Event
    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...
