How do you end up with duplicates to begin with or is that a silly question?

Ken I would love the hear what you base that on, I mean how does a photographic need to look like to begin with?

A painting is a painting when it's painted, what's on the canvas does not matter.
photograph is simply a light sensitive medium that capture light, why should we discriminate what's on it and how it is processed?

I already said they go up to 300 volt, I've them and it's in the manual
It's also on their site link
I haven't used them with any old flash so can't comfirm they are 300volt proof but well they claim they are. I had a little chat with them and they are very helpful and friendly so I wouldn't worry much about it in terms of warranty, they said I could send back my units and they would refund them over a minor issue that I had.
The unit didn't work correctly with the AF540FGZ, most probably AF540FGZ fault though .

Oh I never had a sync/trigger problem with mine units, they never miss a trigger so far.

That's mostly a photo

This one is probably a harder nut to crack

I believe Canon has an SDK for their firmware but Pentax doesn't have one and they even scramble their firmware since the K20D so they have make it harder.

New commercial of Centraal Beheer Achmea, I'm sure all Dutch members know it because their commercials are always great, what do you think of it?

Little translation, the guy on the end says "There always goes more into it then you think."

I still really like this one.

No need for any translation.

I like it though, it makes it more icy and stand out from the rest however a B&W might be more powerful.

If the lighting is pretty constant (sunny, cloudy day or with flash) I use manual, I simply press the green button which I've adjust that it works like "instant" Av mode and so I've a good bases and take a photo at that setting and look at the histogram and than adjust it to that.
Most of my photos look a bit over exposed but aren't clipped, I do that because I shoot raw and you get the most out of your photo then.
Also I don't adjust to shadows, only if the whole photos is one shadow..

If light changes so sunny day with clouds or if I walk inside and out and have window light to deal with and not in the other shot I simply use Av.

For lenses I would just AF if you find that it works well, luckily many modern pentax lenses have quick-shift so you can adjust if needed.

Great shot and I'm with Peter here about the light stroke at the bottom, simply crop that off and more attention would go to the bird since light attracts the eye.

Tony I agree with you on that but I miss the connection about what the reachability has to do with this matter?

I don't think we would ever have a universal thought about this matter the same thing as it is with art in general.
So I can disagree with you and still we both can be right

I mean you've painters/photographers that use a photo and paint on that, I'm sure most photographers would say it's a painting and most painters would say it's a photograph... who is right?
It's the same with this matter and therefore the point that's most important is how the artist sees himself.
