I'm primarily a computer and photography enthusiast, but I have a variety of other interests as well, from video games to fountain pens. I take the accuracy and correctness of my contributions very seriously; if there are any problems with my posts, feel free to edit them or let me know in chat if you have any questions or comments.
As a photographer, I use a Pentax K-5 (as well as a K-r as a backup or secondary camera), with a small selection of Pentax lenses. You can also find me on Pentax Forums.

Note that I'm not really into tabletop RPGs. I simply felt that this image suits me best.

What makes “fine art” fine art? This definitely addresses the question in the most accurate manner. I, for one thing, consider a photograph "fine art" if it expresses some significant artistic intent. |

Understanding what “low-light” situations means to photographers I'd want to say that this question is subjective... |

autofocus and maximum aperture of 60D See my answer to the linked question: "The limitations ... generally do not apply to third-party zoom lenses that have maximum apertures of f/6.3 at the long end of the zoom range, as they actually report a maximum aperture of f/5.6 to the camera...." |

Pentax P-TTL: Why and when does underexposure occur and what can I do? I don't have a chance to do this right now, but I do have several bad shots due to incorrect flash output. They'll have to be uploaded to my Flickr account, as Imgur does not keep Exif data. |

What apertures are required to enable autofocus, including cross-type or high-precision focusing, on Canon DSLR cameras? @jrista: Updated for this as well. The 7D and 650D/40D/50D/60D actually share the same set of limitations. |

Do you have any ideas for a photo shoot that I can do at home with everyday things? This doesn't answer the question, and in fact, does little more than beg the question. |

Why does Nikon warn about banding at high ISOs when using autofocus on Nikon D4 or D800? +1 for presenting an actual test. If this is the case, the camera's electronics (and their interaction with the sensor), not necessarily the SWM, could be responsible for this banding. |
