I have decided to remove the images due to 1 or 2 comments wife was pissed off but like to say thanks to all those who had good contructed comments as with all thing only takes 1 to spoil things to just like to say thanks to the k**b head out there your parents must be so proud...

Try exposing the background and if you camera allows you to shoot in manual drop your shutter by 1 to 2 stops and custom set your white balance also the picture on the left could be fixed with 1 click in photoshop using levels and choosing the right hand side pippet and clicking on the...
Been doing quite a few of theses type pictures recently and you have to remember that to have a pure white background you have to over expose the background for example i use a flash lights on the backdrop at around F8 and expose the subject at around f4 with a flash light shoot through a...

so you saying the samsung is not the same as the pentax could you please explain the difference as from using pentax forums they are regarded the same camera apart from the name.
The samsung dslr gx10 is the same camera as the pentax k10d and uses all the pentax lenses so basically its a good camera if you can live with not having canon or nikon on your camera same as a skoda to a volkwagan.

I had a non standard alarm /immo fitted on my 172 it was a toad ai606 and when the car had been unlocked for more than 30 secs and not started the immoboliser would not allow the car to start until you pressed one of the little buttons on the key fob.
Just got rid of my mk2 172 for a proper family car a skoda superb 1.9 tdi 130 and i must say the build quality of the skoda to the renault is about 10 times better not one rattle and for such a big car it goes pretty well.And the big plus it only costs 400 quid from jabba sport to get 190 bhp...
