Another pointless thread

I have to address the points made below ...
However I progress in my photography skills, and I do try and improve, I have no wish to pursue photography professionally. if I did, I certainly wouldn't switch to Canikon. Pentax gear is more than capable of standing upto professional use and many here are profressionals
And anyway there is no truth. IMO photography is art and thus subjective.
I've never met anyone on this forum who thinks they know everything about photography.
You whole post is wrong on pretty much all levels. I really can't understand how you've come to the conclusions your claiming.

I can understand why John has wondered whether you are trolling. I've been here well over a year now and I've never come across anyone is who is up themselves and thinks they are great photographers.that just about sums it up, mediocre site with to many up themselves snappers thinking their great photographers.

Whereas in actual fact there are an awful lot of so called pros who know very little about photography other than how to use the equipment and grab a shot at a press conference.well the only one who can give the truth is a professional photographer
And a quick word for TT:
Sorry but I have to disagree, this topic still remains pointless because you cant argue with someone with views like that

I'm sure Don can give you some handy tips on improving the design
I'll take some as soon as I get the former out - had a look just now but the clay still hasn't hardened properly so will leave it for a day or two. It was really a way of using up a spare pack of clay I had hanging around (bought two packs a couple of years ago to make 1:76 scale cobblestones for a model tramway but only needed one)!

Nope. Only in England, but as I'm working for a bank at the moment the offices follow English holidays so I'm off. Got a feeling I'm going to be disappointed!

I'm hoping this is the "brightening from the west later on" the Met Office promised for today. Want to go out and play with the mirror lens, see if I can get anything worth keeping!

Well my bath hasn't arrived. I see an angry phone call coming.
Think I'll tell them they'll need to pay me for taking a day off at my standard rates. But doubt they'll agree.
