That's our boy Don! Who's responsible for who here? I'll bet Gerri's told your son that's HE'S responsible for bringing YOU back alive.:P Stay inside the snowbank (I think the snow hut is called a Quincey?) At least in there it's only 0 degrees C. Posivively balmy - just like Dad. Look ...

Hey Don and Son! Glad you're back safe and sound! Notice I didn't say safe and sane? Did you stay up all Friday night watching over the lad? Where'd the dog sleep? Too bad the fishing was a bust after all the work you must have done making the hole. Oh, and what was that cooking in the f...

Cashback offer - barcodes?
I tried to get some information from Pentax - but got no response on my email. I downloaded and printed the cashback form from your their web page, but it says I should send the completed form + a copy of the till receipt + barcodes from product boxes. On the boxes I have (bought my camera a...

Photo editing and trying to keep best quality
Hi Amin, keep the original be it RAW or jpg (taken at the highest possible quality every time), and work on a copy of it. Always.. always.. always keep the original image from the camera safe and unmutilated. Did I say always keep the original. :) Whether you choose to shoot jpg or RAW is...

Photo editing and trying to keep best quality
:) thank you so much everyone for all the advice. I will follow it all to the minute details as I notice even in one of the threads that someone has had his external HD faulty and all the pictures gone with it. So I should then continue to shoot in the highest quality that I get, been doing that ...

Embarrassing moment!
On Wednesday, we had a major snowfall here (about 35cm), so, on Thursday afternoon, the weather being nice and clear, I decided to take the afternoon off and give a look at the Laurentians from above. It's always a "sight" to see that old mountain chain covered in snow after a major fall. So, I ca...

Embarrassing moment!
Sorry for the delay in answering the few questions above, but the weather is gorgeous today, so I had to spend some time with my trusty Cessna to make up for doubting it's reliability earlier this week. GrahamNR17, I didn't have time to be scared when it happened (don't ask about later...). Ma...

Film longevity
My slide archive doesn't go quite that far back - but my Fuji Chrome 50 & 100 is pretty good - my bad slides are ones where I had a case of "short arms/deep pockets" and didn't sling out out of date film - then it's got a green cast. I have found some 1980 or 81 slides which came from a home/self...

My old Kodachrome slides are still pretty damn good (they go back to 1982) but the "Boots" slide films fade. By the way gartmore, don't bin those slides. Our photographer has quite some success scanning old slides and restoring the colour in PS. His biggest success was scanning a set of slides wh...

Brownargus, have you seen this week's AP magazine? There is an article on Kodak retinettes Will check it out. When my dad acquired the Retinette in 1959, it retailed at £29.19s.6d including a leather case - but this was about 2.5/3x the average weekly wage at the time - very expensive - equates to p...

Marking Topics as read
No! I have the opposite problem. I never log out, I just quit Firefox or navigate to another page. Half the messages I have already read come back with green squares, but older messages I have missed are not always marked. I find the whole read/unread thing highly unreliable. Best wishes, Kri...

Green squares with bold lettering mark a subject that's new since your last login, as I understand it. That was my understanding, but it doesn't work that way consistently. I often get back the topics I have already read, with no new addition to the thread.:?

Without a camera, sniff!
Well (for the next week at least) I can't call myself a Pentax user anymore. Today I sadly gave my K100D to a good work colleage who's been avidly hearing my stories on photography and I can tell he's been getting really interested in it - and a month back when I said I'd be getting rid of the K1...
