Bloomin' cheek, dear. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) to you too!
Wodders - have a look here.
One or two have gone out and likewise one or two have come in, but there aren't that many - maybe ten - that I haven't put at least one film through.

Idly flicking through an online shopping place the other day looking for something or other, can't remember what, I came across this and as it was not expensive I thought I might try it so ordered one. It came on Monday, sans instructions but I worked it out, and it is great! It weighs next to nothing and provides a great diffused light - for times when I don't want to cart all the paraphenalia around with me this can be taken apart and pretty much slipped in a pocket. It is definitely not as good as a proper external flash but it makes the pop-up far more useful. The white diffuser is good and the orange diffuser shield gives a great warm "sunlight" glow - I am not yet sure when I will use the blue one but I'm sure I will think of something.
One more victory in the fight against red-eye!

I took a few hundred pictures on my new Pentax DSLR over the last few weeks. And when I came to copy them onto a computer and up to flickr, noticed they all have the same two marks on them. A horrid big bit of grit or something (well, tiny in real life but looks big on the screen) and a little thing that looks like hair or some sort of fibre (probably too thin to be hair)
Good news, the auto clean mode got rid of the very bad dust particle. So that's OK.
Less good, the hairlike thing is still there. So I guess I will have to get a little hand-held air puffer.

Whimper, make it go away ... 365 has just been updated to introduce all the worst features of the last few Flickr updates. That's going to be me gone. I'm struggling to keep up and I can't on this format, plus my Flickr account has exploded over the last couple of weeks with a few things hitting Explore.

...and Flickr have informed me that shortly they will be doing an automatic charge on my credit card to pay for the next two years - and they have not responded to me telling them not to do it! I may have to call my UK bank to stop them paying it but that may well cost me.
I didn't think much of that new layout for 365 this morning either, CK, but will persevere a short time at least until it irritates me too much - we could run a book on how long that may take!

Well, not quite. They've scrapped the godawful endless scrolling that Flickr thought it would be a good idea to have, and for some reason, when I clicked on someone's Flickr photostream, the images always came up incredibly small - mini-thumbnails, whatever browser I was using, and I couldn't find a way round that. Scrapping the "classic view" and being forced to use their new look was the last straw for me, it just took so long to load everything.
365 is Ross's site and he does listen to people, so I don't imagine the new look is set in stone. However, enough people have been enthusiastic about it so far to make me think it will probably stay that way. I'm not using 365 much at present anyway, and doubt that I'll want to get back into it in the way I used to. I know I've said this before but I'm thinking that if and when the photographic muse reasserts herself, I might just go and join Helge on Pbase instead.

I am obviously not seeing the same scrolling problem on Flickr you are. I just scroll down to where I want to go on my home page and start following ~ the way I did on 365 but can't now. Currently it's a bit of a pain on Flickr but if I put up enough bad pictures life may settle down again. That banana did horribly well. ~ all I can see are the mistakes.

As swearing about stuff seems to be the thing to do round here at the mo, may I just add an "Oh BUGGER!"?
An irritating white mark on my pics has turned out to be a scratch on the lens, heaven only knows how I managed it. The cost of repair, well, it's not quite enough to make me bin it and start again, but it's well on the way!

Went mad last night and ordered a new tripod as recommended in this month's Better Photography magazine here in India - it is lightweight, not too long when folded and, supposedly, very stable - sounds like a winner. My old one, now retired, was okay for compacts but not hugely stable for a full size sort of camera. The Gorilla Pod is fine for lots of things but there are times when a "proper" tripod is needed.
Sorry to hear about the scratched lens, what a pain! I hope you manage to get it fixed somehow.

The interface is distinctly old-fashioned and pretty basic in an 80s sort of way, which probably puts a lot of people off. It doesn’t do snazzy slideshows, background music, web portfolios or lots of social groups. It just displays your pictures as you intend them to be displayed, which I liked after the way 365 mangled some of mine. I probably wouldn’t have joined it if I didn’t already know someone there. I’m vacillating between that and Dropshots, which offers a good privacy policy – I don’t necessarily want all my photos available to the entire world and especially for unlimited re-use by the owners of the site. They don’t do social groups much either. I’m not too keen on the Dropshots format, though, and they sign you up for weekly mailings unless you opt out.

So I ordered the new tripod on the evening of 25th March and collected it from the courier's office just after lunch on 29th - and it has had to come from Delhi to here, a couple of thousand kilometres - not bad at all. It is a gazillion times better than the old one, bought about 12 or 15 years ago.

I've just renewed my pBase account and uploaded a few things to keep going. There isn't much on there but I'm here if anyone's interested. Let me know if you join and I'll add you to my favourites group.

Just wasted 10 minutes of my life looking through someone's gallery of paranormal photos. If you take very low-res photos, probably with your phone, and shoot into the sun, it's no surprise to anyone but yourself that there are green flares, the background is patchy and the "proof" is way too blurred to show anything at all. All it proves is that you can't use a camera properly.
Odd things can and do happen but really, if you're going to go ghost-hunting with a camera don't skimp, learn how to get the best photo you can under different lighting conditions.

I see from this month's photographic press over here that the new Hasselblad H5D-50c, with 50MP CMOS sensor is going on sale for an equivalent of just over 25,000 UK pounds, that is something over $40,000US - and then you have to employ the staff to carry it and the equipment - but a gem of a bit of kit, or so I'd hope for that price!
If we do a bulk order do you think we'll get a discount?

I know I don't want an interchangeable lens camera but it is lovely - if only they'd put that sensor in something like my HS50!

Vast expense later and the G10 is back... sans strap! Which I'm a bit miffed by. Ho hum!
Anyway, we are off to Kew Gardens tomorrow to meet up with a bunch of people from the Amateur Photographer webforum (there are other forums than the Ship - amazing, isn't it?) so it will get a good test, as will the mother-out-law's macro lens, and hopefully I'll get some opportunities to play with Evil Edna the FrankenLeica and a truly weird box camera.
I know, I'm just an attention whore...

I haven't been to Kew in decades, hardly surprising as I live quite a long way away, but the Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya, near Kandy in Sri Lanka are a superb photo opportunity if anyone is ever out this way.
I'm hoping to pop over to Sri Lanka some time this year to see friends [less than an hour's flying time from here] and the idea of a trip to Peradeniya is an excellent one - thanks Sandemaniac.

Yesterday I was dispatched to get some photos of the so far hottest day for a friend whose camera is complaining about the amount of use it has had, so I hied off to Gravesend, usually reported as the hottest place (only yesterday it wasn't) and took about 250 photographs, totally abandoning all pretence to having trained myself on a Box Brownie with 8 exposures.
I discovered a part of the place I had never been aware of before, down by the river, where all sorts and conditions of men, women and children were taking advantage of the weather.
There were pictures I was particularly pleased with - until I got them up on the computer. A group of elderly Sikhs at a picnic table, with an African/something couple on the next one, and some white people in the background. And a massive litter bin in the foreground which I had simply not seen. And a tree and a parking notice growing out of two Sikh heads.
Another Sikh taking time off from the Port of London office* flying a kite, with an icecream van sitting on his head.
I have dealt with them, though the bin has left a gap in the composition. I have two pictures from the kite one - the flyer, and the group of people round the van. But these are no longer honest photos.
I'm going to have to train myself better. It's not as if I don't know, when posing people, not to have posts growing from their heads.
*I asked him if it was OK after I had taken the piccie, and told him why, and he told me he was involved with recording the weather station data. Lucky. It meant I also got a good one of the office building with the Sun above it (and I didn't look at the Sun through the lens!) Pity yesterday was hottest up at Writtle - presumably the Agricultural College.

I have now filled the bin gap with a cloned seat - a vast amount of work, some of which should have been easier. Having to extract the seat from its background twice was a bit of a fiddle.

Yes, they approached me a few years ago and I was initially quite chuffed but then they set all sorts of fairly weird conditions on how the photos were to be submitted so I told them that if they wanted the photos I would submit them as is and they could reformat them to their style requirements themselves. I never heard from them again.

Reading a bit further they are offering to sell pictures to publishers, and keep half the fee. So I can understand why the style guide requirements. A couple of years ago I was asked if a book publisher could put one of my photographs forward as part of the shortlist for a new front cover for a Ruth Rendell re-edition and that had all sorts of conditions.

So, peaceful or dynamic?
Whilst viewing images on a photography site, I came across an image both stunning and peaceful. It held my attention with no movement, no drawing of the eye to a particular spot.
I tend towards the dynamic in my tastes, but this one really captured me.

I think I tend more towards the peaceful end of things.
I am thinking of a series on Dilapidation as here in the tropics things can happen pretty fast, particularly at this time of year when ample* rainfall promotes massive plant growth.

I've started on a Numbers Project - photographing numbers from 0 to 100, where they crop up. Preferably they should feature as part of a composition.
I hadn't intended to start with 0 but it was there on an office block's windows, and so large and shiny compared to the rest of the picture that I had to get it. I started yesterday and have got as far as 4 so far which isn't bad for a day's work. There was a really good 5 on someone's T-shirt yesterday, but I didn't really feel I could take a picture of someone's chest as she walked towards me.
It does make you think about things that come in series, and you start noticing numbers everywhere once you start doing this. I'm photographing them mostly in order and making a mental note of where to find numbers I'll want to use later. Also open to replacing some with better ones if they come along.
Well, it keeps me entertained. If anyone else wants to play, let me know. The single numbers should be easy enough, it'll be the later ones that will be the real challenge.

so, thanks to knocking my pan out at work, putting in extra hours etc I've earned myself a few "well done" vouchers for a well know online retailer named after a river.
I have 2 old, manual focus prime lenses which I try and use for portrait work, especially pictures of the kids.
28mm which goes up (down ?)to F2.0
50mm which goes to F2.8
(i may have the apertures the wrong way round, but you get the idea
but have been having issues recently with getting sharp images manually, either because I can't judge properly or can't keep up when they move slightly.
So I'm thinking of getting a replacement with AF, and have a choice of these two:
35mm F2.4
50mm F1.8
any thoughts ?

What size sensor has the camera you use? Portrait portrait or portrait or portrait pics of the kids doing what kids do?

By portrait I mean pictures of the kids doing what kids do, but using the big apertures to be able to both use faster shutter speeds, and blur out the background.
It's a Pentax K10D and I'm guessing you're asking about if it's a full size sensor(don't think so) , rather than how many megapixels

Nice pic, WK - over and above the usual family portrait by some way!
I think the K10D sensor is 1.5X crop factor, so your 35mm lens will be closer in coverage to a 50mm lens on 35mm film*, and the 50mm will be closer to 75mm. I think 80mm was the classic portrait lens length, so the 50mm looks good, and is a bit faster so you'll get better separation of subject and background with the aperture wide open, as you've done above.
Any help?

Yes, a big help.
I had heard that in 'old fashioned' cameras a 50mm lens best represented what the eye naturally sees, which is why a 28 or a 35 on the 1.5x crop sensors looked good.
I hadn't heard of the old 80mm being the classic portrait length

I think it's because at 80mm you can stand just that bit further back and not be right in the subject's face. Either that, or because of all the old pros using 6x6 medium format cameras, where the default focal length is 80mm or so.

50 mm on a full frame (35 mm) is the minimum to eliminate distortion associated with wider lenses. (Really it's something like 46m) So it is more flattering, generally.
Lenses with more telephoto also give a softer background for the same aperture. They also compress the background; objects in the background appear closer.
ETA: 80 because longer lenses were not as plentiful and because in the studio one can only back up so far.
If one has the working room, a fast 200mm makes fantastic portraits.

Now that the gorgeous puppy has arrived I've picked up my camera again and ordered a new 50mm lens.
Woohoo! ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

I really love my non-SLR but very versatile Fujifilm, it's a great camera but now the two major players in SLRs here [Canon & Nikon] seem to be having a bit of a price war...

I'd like an affordable 50-300 mm lens with stabilizer for my Canon DSLR. They are still ridiculous prices, though.

well, I took the plunge and ordered the 50mm f1.8 lens
I'll let you know how I get on, and hopefully there will be some well lit *and* in focus shots of the kids and other things soon
