Re: Cleaning Sensors

I did 3 methods in the past -I kinda don't clean sensors anymore in the new cameras because the come with a new coating that seems to repel things from building up. In this order when I have to clean a sensor I try: 1) Blowinng -with a blower, I use some cheap Giottos blower 2) A brush -I use this

SDHC Card problem

Hi list, My wife's boss has this SDHC Lexar 16GB that can't be accessed. She was using this in a video camera (not a pentax BTW) and the thing shut off all of the sudden -battery died apparently. I tried to read it but Windows would not even recognize that there is a card in the reader. Did this

Definig "good" or "bad" photos around the viewer Was: What Makes a Good Photograph?

I see lots of arguments here defining "good" or "bad" around the "viewer". This reminds me of this discussion I read some time ago, it's a simple thought experiment that got me thinking about why I shoot what I shoot. The premise is simple: "Let's say you just emerged from a cave to find that ever

These are the photos that evaluated individualy are mundane but are elevated to

Stunning image Frank. Beautiful tones and composition. Does the bike path make it close to where you are there? If so we probably rollerblade there on sunny days -a rarity lately... PS: I can see my place there in the background ;-) On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 7:33 PM, frank theriault wrote: > Took
