Golf, yes I migrated to C1LE from the freebie Rawshooter essentials.

Paul Jones is on God. Chris Farlowe is on god-knows-what, but still has a great voice and presense.

iWatermark looks interesting and only $20.00, thanks.

Recently I attended the Maryport Blues and Bitter Festival. Toting my DS and a few lenses I shot an awful lot of images. I have refined them down to the following gallery http://www.ammonyte.plus.com/galleries/maryport_blues_06/index.html I should learn to be even more ruthless and selective, though.

Most of the shots were taken with my Pentax 70-300 mm zoom at ISO400 or 800, without flash as I was trying to get the impression of the stage lighting. Mostly used AWB, though once the sun had gone and the lighting in the tent was purely from the stage lights I switched to Tungsten.

Shot in RAW and converted to JPG with C1LE (I took onboard Matts point about spending lots on lenses and compromising with free software). I think I followed most of the points made elsewhere about choosing appropriate colour profiles.

The copyright overlays were done with the watermark feature under "process multiple files" because it was quick, but they are not really pleasing. Does anyone know of a better (and quick) way?

I'm sure there a a few of us around here who'll be able to offer the orphans good homes

Enjoy Spain, I have a colleague at work who is hoping to move to portugal wit her (portuguese) husband, and raves about the place, the weather etc etc

I already have a tin on the mantlepiece that i am putting my pennies into!

10 million pennies?

I usually take my DS with pentax 16-45 lens,sigma 12-24 and 70 -300 which covers most ranges, plus some ND and ND grad filters, circ polariser, IR filter and stepping rings, flash, rain cover, spare batteries, car charger and laptop. I also have the optio WPi for Serious Hill Days.

I'm off to look at those packsafe links!

Before I had an SLR I had a fixed focus Fuji 35mm compact. A friend had an Oly SLR and couldn't understand why my pictures were consistently better than his. As he was by Boss as well, I couldn't find an easy way of saying "well I know how to use my camera"

I recently attended the Maryport Blues Festival http://www.maryportblues.com/, and took the following photograph (well this and a few more actually). Now I'll admit that on many levels it's not the greatest photograph ever taken, but I was just wondering what did the bass player think about the MC?

Point taken Matt but my point is this:- if a reviewer got hold of a camera with un-modified firmware and dissed the camera as a result, the negative publicity could adversely affect the product. Ergo make sure the thing as good as it possibly can be at launch time. We know the copiercam knockers will look for any opportunity to undermine pentax.
