Photos from this year’s racing.
Has it really been over a month? Time for some pictures, then.
The first set comes from a day out in Portsmouth, wandering round from the old town, through Gunwharf to the Historic Dockyard. I went out armed only with the Ricoh, and didn’t really miss the Pentax too much. Certainly it made a nice change…
In an attempt to dodge decorating and get out of the house yesterday, we ended up heading to Wisley. It was only when we were a couple of miles away when it suddenly dawned on us it was January for crying out loud and most of the plants would be twigs. Still, the car park…
You’d be forgiven for not realising the K10D even has a multi-exposure mode: of the 230-or-so pages in the manual only one is given over to multi-exposure, and the description of the feature is vague at best.
However, it was brought to my attention today that the “Auto EV Adjust” setting doesn’t work in the way…

I’ve had a couple of months now to become accustomed to my K10D, so it’s about time I followed through from my preview from shortly after I got it.
If I was going to sum it up in comparison to the 400D, I’d say that whilst the Canon is easier to get great images out of…
Went to the Isle of Wight this weekend, ostensibly for the powerboating, but there was also a display by The Blades, a civilian display team comprising four ex-Red Arrows pilots in propellor-driven Extra 300s. It proved a rather more photogenic scene than the boats themselves, which needed rather more than the 200mm (300mm effective) lens…
When you buy a toy, particularly an electronic one, no matter how much time you spend deciding on the right one (and finding the best price, and inevitably upping your budget), as soon as you make your purchase, the one you really would have wanted will be released.
So it was with the Pentax K10D. No…
