Awesome! Thank you sir!

Hi Jaime. Thanks for the comment. Yes, I do realize that, but I'm also including 4 new Sanyo EneLoop rechargeable batteries plus charger, a $20 value by itself. So basically, they're getting a new flash + 4 rechargeable batteries + charger for $50 less than the price of flash alone. I think that's a pretty good deal. :-) Thanks again! Steve

Hi JR1.
You are correct...I am most genuine, and have created more than 4 posts in UHH. I just need to sell this flash ASAP, as I am no longer in the Pentax system, and seek to purchase a Nikon-compatible flash.
Thank you,
Steve

Must sell quick: $310 - A GREAT Deal on this AWESOME flash (plus 4 Sanyo eneloop batteries)!!

Good points all. Live View on a tripod (with lens VR Off) also eliminates "mirror slap" issues at slow shutter speeds because the mirror is flipped up long before exposure. Also, I use an IR Remote so as not to touch the camera during exposure. This technique will assure optimum sharpness, provided, of course, that your lens is good and set to the proper focus point in the subject.

This is sold, so I need to delete this ad. Thank you!

Regrettably, I am selling this superb PENTAX K-5 kit with some very sharp lenses. It also comes with a high-quality thinkTANK shoulder bag perfect for this kit! Make me an offer soon...This is SOLD. (Cannot delete this ad...sorry.)

Season's Greetings!
IMHO, while the optimum scenario is to capture the best image in camera with respect to the photographer's vision, it is the nature of digital capture that most often requires at least some degree of post processing. I think it rare indeed that an image cannot be "improved" or tuned post-capture. For example, even in the Pre-digital era, Master Photographer Ansel Adams spent untold hours in his darkroom manipulating exposure, tonality, contrast, etc., to produce his masterpieces! My point is that there is nothing wrong with the concept of Post Processing to obtain one's vision of the image! Thank you.

I have the Panasonic Lumix G2 m4/3 camera with Panny 14-42 Zoom and the exceptionally sharp, wonderful Panny 20mm f/1.7 pancake, plus a LOT of accessories; extra batteries, B+W UV filter, Leica Lens hood for 20mm, remote control, Tamrac camera bag.
$785 OBO...cash only. Thank you.

Agree with previous posters...that is not a "quality" portrait, and I'd be surprised that a "Pro" would represent it as such.

Greetings, Cobra! Yes, this website has a wealth of photographic information.
Not sure which State in the Pacific Northwest you are from, but FYI, I recently returned from a trip to Portland Oregon, and captured some nice images of that beautiful State! Check them out on www.totalqualityphoto.com. Thanks!

Very cool, Doug! Yes, I recall reading about the great DOF of pinhole cameras, despite the absence of a "lens" and adjustable aperture!

Well, not necessarily, because remember the uniquely "flexible" tilt/shift/swing capabilities of the view camera permitted enormous depth of field! And Mr. Adams was THE Master of the Medium! ;-)

Greetings, Geoartist!
f/64 was an aperture available on large format (view camera) lenses, and had more to do with exposure than depth of field, because DOF was controlled to a great degree by the swing/shift capabilities of those cameras. The "f/64" club was a group of photographers such as Ansel Adams and Alfred Steiglitz. As for modern digital cameras, I recommend, when possible, shooting about two to three stops from maximum (wide open) aperture to maintain highest image quality. Closing down to f/16 on a typical DSLR would rob the image of maximum sharpness due to diffraction. It's better to increase distance from the subject, which would in turn increase perceived "depth of field".
