I'm concerned about my eye / dirty glasses being the limiting factor for manual focus.  How is the K1 for this? I think I want specifically the wide zoom for that specific lens, but am open to primes.

I'm gathering some ideas here as I plan getting a K1 and some lenses. I'm looking at the used market. I mostly do forest photography. I don't shoot people much at all. (That probably just got me ...

I like the red - is it a lichen?  Nice shot.

How close to the lens was this?  Do you ever have to clean spider silk of the front element / filter?

Amazing detail.  My daughter declined my offer to show her.

That makes sense.  I'm not calibrating things yet, but if I start to print I'll include a calibrator in the print budget.

I think I'm learning that there's more to tripod heads than ball or pan.  I'm trying to generally educate myself now.

It looks better on my dark background processing software than the white background forum. Is there a way for a poster to specify a darker page background for darker images?

I was sitting at a strategically located picnic table catching my breath after walking up from the bottom of the falls.  I may have had my elbows on the table.  My 1/15s expectations were exceeded. ...

I am planning a gear upgrade and went shooting to try to learn what lenses I want to start with (new system).  No reason not to try to get good shots with the old gear and this one exceeded ...

I just finished reading a couple more general photography threads here.  They make me appreciate the technician side of photography.  I apprectiate the opportunity to be near so much experience ...

I have an ok tripod and ball head (I think both Gitzo).  I'm thinking to add a tilt-pan head for when I want to stitch panos. How do tilt-pan heads compare to specialized pano heads? If I go with a ...

How cramped would you feel at 24 mm / full frame?

I went to a waterfall park today with just a 70-210mm on APS-C.  I wish I had a bit more than 3 times the field of view. I'm looking into going full frame and if I did my calculation correctly, I ...

These are some nice shots, I think you're getting things dialed in.

Nice colors and good detail for the beadwork.

By any chance are there any Pentax 645 lens to K body smart adapters available?

Beautiful composition!

I see this sometimes too.  It is a challenge.  Even if you accept that some of the highlights will be blown, if you blow too much you lose the rays.  Clouds often move fast, so HDR stacking may ...

I'm giggling like I'm 12.  Needed it, thanks!
