Pentax K10D Multi Exposure

The more I used the Pentax K10D, the more impressed I am with it. Not only is it cheaper then the Canon XTI, but it is in my opinion a much better camera. In fact it is better then every other camera in its class. No other camera in its class has built in image stabilization, a weather sealed body, 14bit RAW images, and so much more. Today I will be talking about the cameras Multi-exposure feature. This feature does exactly what you would think; it allows you to take multiple photos(up to 9) and combine them into one image.

You might be wondering how this is useful. Well, you could do fun stuff like make ghosts appear in you photos, or you can really put it to use, and use it as a ND filter. Say you want to take a photo of a running river, and you want to water to look like it really moves. Lets say that the proper exposure for this scene is 1/2s @ f/10. That will give you some of the flowing look you want, but not enough. With Multi-exposure you could do 9 shots at 1/2s @ f/10, and that would give you a photo of 4.5s @ f/10. Now your scene will really flow. Plus 9 x 1/2s will have a lot less noise then 4.5s at any ISO. This same feature can be used with night or astro photograhy to cut down on the noise.

I haven’t been able to test this out besides for the fun stuff, but I look forward to my first test at a river or creek.

Some more info, plus some example photos can be found at dpreview.com

Happy shooting

Been busy.

Sorry for the lack of action around here for a while, I have been away from home for the past 3 weeks for work. I still have a few more weeks away from home, so don’t expect much from me. I even bought a older manual lens for my Pentax K10D and I haven’t had a chance to use it. I got a good deal on a 50mm F1.7 on one of the forums a visit. Oh yeah, and I built a new computer, and I have only been able to use it a few times. Its sad, I know.

The rumers are true.

After years of dreaming for one, but never really wanting to spend the money I finally bought a DSLR. I ended up buying a Pentax K10D + the kit lens(smc P-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6) and a Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.5 APO DG Macro. My Last few photos are from this camera.

Camera Withdrawals

My camera has been broken for a few days, but luckily for me it was still under warranty. The bad thing is it will be gone for 2-3 weeks, and I’m already going through withdrawals. I still have an older camera I can use, but It only has limited settings, so I cant really do the things I like to do. I think soon I will get a Nikon D80. Hopefully as it nears Christmas it will go on sale, or Nikon will offer a rebate. The problem is I don’t know which kit to get; one is with an 18-135mm lens for $1299.95, the other is with an 18-55mm lens for 1099.95.
