She was not crying, just she was covering the face in fatigue and probably dispair. She was probably sitting there since very morning and she didn't sold anything.
I saw the sign as a reinforcement of the denial feeling.
Actually if I would edit the picture as rupert suggested, I would take the sign off completelly, leaving the entire space empty, a huge negation, suggesting the solitude and lack of chanse.
I think is not bad for the first artistic try...

It is from the family pictures, and I know that framing is bad....
But still she wanted a kiss...

I have made two adjustments: first I changed the B&W Filter tool, so the sign will not draw more attention than the person:

I have tested my main card - sandisk extreme III for speed in camera, as well as the class 10 Mustang as backup, and a Toshiba class 4, from my colleages at work. K-x is behaving the same: 17 frames in 4 seconds, 88 frames in 30 seconds, with all 3 cards, in the same conditions.
That makes me believe that not the speed of card is issue, but mainly the quality and warranty that you will not loose your pictures before saving them on HDD

I bought myself a no-name card "MUSTANG" 4GB class 10. After 330 frames, all goes well.
It was the cheapest I could find (about 12 EUR). Writing speed 7.8MB, tested with the card reader embedded in Dell Laptop, whatever controller Dell are using. |

KX offers optical and digital preview, and has Live View function.
I'm just learning the way to use them :o

@lowel:
k-x doesn't have an assist lamp, instead it strobes (is this the word?) the internal flash to assist the focus.
@mark:
I do understand the basic of exposure, and the play of timing, aperture and sensitivity, and at least in theory, optics has little secrets for me. Field experience if harder to get than advanced physics classes in university. :) :) :)
I found the similar discussion on the beginner’s corner, regarding the underexposure of k-x, and it makes sense to preserve information from highlighted areas.
Thank you all. |

Thank you Adam.
Q1: ISO was rocketed to 6400, the shot was noisy (I didn't care too much tough, since there were test shots), but my problem was lack of focus, even with long hunting. So your recomandation for future would be "faster lenses".
Q2: I'll do so, just wondering about the difference of in-camera picture processing.
And anyway 30 seconds with any photo editor is solving the issue.

Hi!
I'm new to dslr, I had for years a P&S A710IS, and for last year I have used manual settings for most of the shots.
Last Friday I brought home the new k-x and started learing the basics of camera operations. so finally around mdnight I went to balcony and started shoting night pictures. The ones including high contrast areas were ok, I played with the night scene setings, night shots, manual shots, etc. Focus was ok, hunting a little, but not exagerated.
But whrere the contrast area were not that obvious, the camera was hunting for focus forever, and still was out of focus.
I tried for manual focus, but my dioptry is slightly bigger (-2,75) than the compensation on the camera (-2,5), and had a hard time to adjust the focus. In good light, I have no problem to MF
Another point are the indor shots in low light conditions. I was taking shots with D40 of my brother in law, comparing with k-x. The pictures are taken with default portrait settings, for both cameras, AUTO (no manual adjustment), and subject is my daughter. D40 shots are brighter. I have no doubt that the results will be in favor of k-x if I would take the time to setup corectly the camera, but I am talking fast snapshots here.
Q1: please advise about night shots in low light low contrast outside;
Q2: please comment on the AUTO portrait settings for indor low light;
P.S.
Please do not jump saying that DSLR is for compozition and thinking of pictures, not for P&S. I know that very well, just sometimes you have to take a snapshot, and the default AUTO settings should give a good result.:lol:
