Just had anoth phone call...
Like Vic I see nothing wrong with wasting their time. Hang on I'm down stairs, the PC is upstairs, slw down, hang on I said I'll pick you up on the extension ----- pause for dramatic effect ---- say hello I'm back, what do you want me to do with the PC. Let them repeat the request all over again....

John - having previously worked in a call-centre, I can tell you that your M.O. is futile. All the call centre worker does is put you back in the "loop", since the calls are allocated randomly via a computer system. Your first call might come from a spotty oik that hasn't quite learned to converse b...

Have a whistle handy. A few years back we had a woman come to work in our office, she had been a telephone exchange operator (this was in the days before direct dialling), only we old farts can remember this. :wink: We were talking about abusive telephone calls, she told us the best way to de...

It raises the question, "where did they (call centres) get my details from?"... Well, although you are registered with TPS, you may be surprised to learn where some of these "data harvesting agencies" get their info.. Let me enlighten you! Firstly, did you know that companies can buy your data...

I agree with John and Will, the majority of people in call centres are there because they have little choice with job options, often they've been "forced" into taking the job for fear of losing jobseekrs allowances etc. Probably the case with many cold callers knocking on our doors too. Yes it do...

I think that they're fair game. I like to do my bit to make scams like these less successful. One such outfit phoned my wife and she had the presence of mind to get a number for me to call them back later. I called them back (on a local rate UK number), feigned ignorance, followed the instru...

Cheers, I should say small shoulder bag, not back pack. Cloths, I mean lens cloth not clothes. Thanks ;)

The best bag I found is a Kata 3n1. having two straps is much better thanall the weight being on one shoulder,I did have the LowePro slingshot but found the Kata much more comfortable. But I have now gone back to LowePro and the S&F Vest and Belt system which works fine for me.

My First Tutorial HELP ME!
Your voice is fine, there are a couple of clumsy sentences that might be worth looking at, but apart from that it's OK. You've presented your technique clearly, not the way I would do a BW conversion, but it's your technique and that's also fine. Desaturating doesn't give any control over changin...

Prom night Photography
Have done a few prom shoots at clients home. Kit lens will be adequate, time of shooting will be around 6to 7 ish so nice lighting flash with a bit of fill for shadows. If they have a tall hedge or wall use that as a back drop and stand the subjects 3 or 4 feet in front of it. Shots would digest the...

Is this a Scaup?
Female Tufteds can have a white patch round the base of the bill and also under their tail feathers but this one of yours seems to lack the small Tuft at the back of its head, could it be a Pochard?

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
Do we not already have one in the K5? Or do you really want a manual focus camera with aperture priority and manual exposure only. :lol:
