I am used to summoning details - camera, lens, settings - at the click of a button, but PHOTOS on the latest iPad software does not bring up those details, which makes it difficult to enter a photo in a monthly contest.
Can anyone help? Many thanks.

Thanks, but nothing makes the AF work.
I will call Pentax.

I have just bought a new Pentax 55-300mm lens and cannot get it to focus at all. Because it has a new kind of connection, it was necessary to download the latest firmware first. I did that, and must assume the download was successesful because it went through all the right stages. (The Ricoh instruction is to check which version is installed by going to set-up menu #4, then choose 'Firmware Info/Options' . My camera does not offer that option under set-up menu #4 or 1,2, or 3. So I must assume the download was without mishap.
The new lens came without any kind of instructions and all I get is a very much out-of-focus image. When I try firing the shutter, I get an error message saying that I should set the zoom barrel where the shutter will fire. NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE TO ME. P{resumably, the auto-focus has to be activated somehow.
Can anyone help, please? Many thanks.

I had adopted Malakai about a week earlier. His previous humans' last words to me were, "Promise us he will get to run." A week or so later, I sent them this photo. Single exposure.
No motor drive or similar. LOCATION: Waldport, Central Oregon Coast.

#9 for me because that frame is full of Spring. A lovely, lavish photograph.

Relatively few entries depict motion. Even the pics of planes are mostly frozen images. This entry is simple, boasting clean lines, a moving train and a stationary human. I think this photo best captures the theme.

Using water to reflect, as here, is often a cheap trick.
Not this time. The composition is 'eye catching' - forgive my aqueous humor - the middle 'layer' being the pupil. The 'winged' supports at left and right give the whole a fish-like affect. Wonderful photo - which I nominate.

Outstanding pictures this month. My vote goes to #3 which I think is brilliant. The hand shows age and character which necessarily inhabit the space in which he is invisible.. Put another way, the viewer automatically extrapolates from that hand, and the walking stick, when mentally filling in the blank space. Because the blank space is jet black, as if to say "there is nothing but nothingness here," the trick of making the viewer reflexively fill it in, is all the more impressive.

This is the best of several which used the same idea. The composition is terrific, the wheel 'unorthodox.' I nominate this photo.

I fully understand why a 36 x 24 negative, all things being equal, will yield a superior print to that from a 24 x 18 neg. The reason, in a word, is grain. But I do not understand digital photography well enough to understand how, exactly, the larger sensor yields a better result. It ain't grain! What I am trying to figure out is this:
Lets say the difference in maximum quality between 36 x 24 and 24 x 18 negatives is 10 compared with 6. If full-frame digital is a 10, how do C-sensor images compare? 6? 7? 5?
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
btw...I still have my Pentax LX. It is MUCH smaller than my K3, so comparing full-frame with full-frame, the K1 is ginormous.

That guy keeps staring at me, even when I move around the room. For someone so intense, it must be relaxing to have an out-of-focus buddy to travel with.(I think I would trim a narrow strip, top to bottom, on the left.)

I took this on a cold January morning in Greenwich Village, N.Y., N.Y. Behind me, in Washington Square, snow was on the ground and a man was playing a grand piano.

Although her accent made it difficult for me to follow I gather her speech was about the duties of union members.
