What's the greatest album cover of all time ?
That brings back memories of Mr Alan Freeman who used to have the Saturday afternoon slot on Radio 1. He used to read out the album charts and when he got to that one, he truncated it to "Never mind the sex pistols". Top bloke. :mrgreen:

What's the greatest album cover of all time ?
So many to choose from, and that's before my first coffee of the day, I loved all the Roger Dean artwork on the Yes albums but if you back me into a corner it has to be Rush 2012. Was that the predecessor to 2112. I prefer A Farewell To Queens.

What's the greatest album cover of all time ?
He said it was a rubbish cover, not a rubbish album :P I tend to agree about the cover, it isn't anything special. I do however consider DSM to be one of their better albums, my only real problem with it is that godawful song Money! IMO Wish You Were Here and Animals are both far better Floyd al...

I have had a similar experience. I was looking to get a DA 21ltd and Spectrum wouldn't tell me their price, unless I produced some evidence of what the competition was offering the lens for... then when I mentioned SRS and amazon (i knew the prices at both places) the chap said he wouldn't match the...

Has anyone considered emailing Pentax and complaining about this? I can't believe they know about it and allow the store to keep the Pro Centre status, it must be damaging the brand image. If they got a few similar complaints then they'd probably investigate, possibly even to the extent of sendi...

Years before the Internet I was left some money and wanted to buy some new electrical items - TV, tape recorder, music centre (for my brother) and in those days TCR was over run with cheap electrical stores who would beat any price. Someone I worked with (John) also owned a small shop which could...

Voightlander Brilliant 1934 or thereabouts....!
I have one of these and I think it's in working order, was my Grandad's, the shutter definatly fires....... I'm going to a WW2 re-enactment thing at the weekend and I think it would be nice to try and get some shots with this old camera. Now a bit of reading says that the original film would be ...

Voightlander Brilliant 1934 or thereabouts....!
I can get an ILford film at 50 ASA? That should be pretty decent looking? Or maybe a bit too slow? The "Sunny 16" rule states that when it's sunny outside you can use f/16 and a shutter speed that is 1/(ISO value). Given your limited range of shutter speeds I'd say an ISO 50 film would be perfect...

Voightlander Brilliant 1934 or thereabouts....!
What I hadn't realised before I read the "developing film in a tin helmet on a moonless night" story (which was definitely attached to Capa too in the article I read - it could be that it was a common technique of war reporters) is that film of that era came in shorter rolls and was frequently devel...

yes it should be left to the vote not the winners from the week earler And how do you stop biassed voting - everyone will vote for themselves so will that be productive? Who should get a vote and what will happen to the critique that is given? I have just gone back over the last few winners ...

you say Well, jeff four zeroes, engaging in personal attacks is really going to get you support for your daft conspiracy theories. Where are your pictures, by the way, before you criticise anyone else's? Why not go somewhere else? I don't think you are winning many friends here, and I don't thi...

Jeff you just have to accept the Judge's decision. It is pretty common that I personally disagree with the winning entry, but I don't go posting publicly about it. That would be rude ;) Also if you go back through the last few dozen competitions you will see it is very unusual for the previous j...

Photo at an exhibition
Thank you everyone. The consensus both here (and on the www.geograph.org.uk forum, on which the original photos were posted, where I raised the same question) is to go for the "what would you typically offer?" route, and that is what I have done on the grounds that if they are a reputable outfit ...
