Try holding down the "Play" button when you power on the camera, then go into the Menu and Reset the camera.

(This tip was shamelessly stolen from Golfdiesel)

Thanks for all the nice comments.

On the linking from ephotozine, what may have confused me (doesn't take much) was that the file name was missing from the link when I right-click an image on that website, so I didn't even try using the IMG tags.

Thanks guys. It seems that the redesign of the ephotozine site prevents linking directly to the images.

I tried Dan's tip of running around the garden with my lens pre-focussed and trying to snap flying critters. Eventually I ran out of breath, sat down, and snapped this, conventionally.

I'd suggest some ND grads for landscape work, a circular polarising filter and a tripod, on the recommendation of people here I upgraded my jessops own brand to a Manfrotto 055ProB and 488RC2 head.

No problem. I'd recommend "Photoshop Elements for digital photographers" by Scott Kelby. He doesn't grind his way through all the features but cuts to the chase of doing the things photographers want to do, if you see what I mean!

In PS Elements, a quick way is to press CTRL+J to duplicate the layer (creates layer 1) then convert to mono or desaturate that layer, then press "e" to switch to the background eraser tool, and then erase those parts of the layer where you want the colour to appear.

I was wondering about the LZW compression in the TIF files. Apparently LZW is copyright of Unisys who expect royalties...
