I am square! I crop tightly on top and bottom when I shoot, then crop to square in PS. With this method the camera can stay horizontal and still require the minimum amount of cropping to get to square.

Find a clear plastic 'recycling bad' ($.25) and you can see what you are doing. A changing bag would work of course, but the portable darkroom function of it serves no purpose. You need to keep out sand, not light.

Look for 'how to coil a band saw blade. Works the same way. Twist and fold.

I was able to fix it up a little. The background was 'greyed out' just a touch. Let me know if you wan to try more doctoring.

Ed,
Thank you for your efforts.
"Many of them, however, are plagued with elitism, snobbishness, and condescending attitudes- even outright nastiness and arrogance!"
Your articles are long, sure, but think how long they would be if the first few hundred words were about you and how smart you are and how much experience you have and and and. :wink: :wink:
Don't worry, Ed, there are plenty of us here that can read and want to learn. We already get plenty of pictures of cats and Grandchildren.
It's not much use reading a book if you cold have written it yourself.

You and I seem to be living in parallel worlds! I usually keep my 18-55mm WR on one of my K-50's. I don't understand the relatively low marks for sharpness on the Pentax Forum
I have completely lost faith in the ratings on Pentax forum. My 18-55 is MUCH better than they rate it. It seems to me that a lot of those dudes knock of a couple of points if they can call it a 'kit' lens. Fine by me. Keeps the price down. It's a lot better than I am, that's why it's on the camera so much. Get some sleep! Sleep good / shoot good.

It's a little after 4 a.m. and I can't sleep, so I'm up and wanting to talk photography to someone....
For everyday use, I keep an 18-55 wr lens on a Pentax K20D. Because I have used it so much, taking pictures is almost automatic, well, manual mode automatic. Whenever I am up to something, I use either the Pentax or a Nikon D7000 with whatever lens seems right. Am a big fan of older lenses and manual focus is not a problem but a welcome part of the process. Most of the time I guess you could say I prefer older, (and cheaper), digital that just does the job.

I do own 2 good meters but I found that even I have to deal with manual flash or using a camera without meter (using old manual focus lens on low end Nikon) I don't need the meter. I can just take a test shot and go from there.
And what better meter than one that makes a photo for your review and is matched to itself.

The method you tried using your computer screen as a light box will work, much better result will come from increasing spacing between monitor and film so that the 'dots' will be far out of focus (your depth of field is very shallow at this distance). Other replies will give you better methods/better results, but your method will work.

Very, very nice images. I love the brilliant but not over-processed look!
