Thank you all.
Time is always a problem here but it's also nice to have that pressure sometimes.
Make sure to let me see the B&W conversion, I'm interested if it would do anything for the photo.
The eEXIF here can be find be right clicking on the photo and then ask for properties.
It doesn't show everything but the most important stuff is showed.

I was delighted to get highly commended as I thought the lack of landscape in my industrial scene would let me down, but the picture I had in mind to enter didn't work out because of poor light and me running out of time. At your suggestion I may try it in black and white.
I don't understand how the EXIF works in The Forum. In The Gallery it's easy, you just click on 'details' but here I wouldn't know where to find it so I always write in the details when I enter the Fortnightly competition.

It was enough for me, I was looking for the contrast how man changed the view of this earth and yours did that.I was delighted to get highly commended as I thought the lack of landscape in my industrial scene would let me down, but the picture I had in mind to enter didn't work out because of poor light and me running out of time.

Good luck Gwyn have fun!
I think one of the two wider lenses would be ideal, I don't see why you should have something over 70mm but I might be mistaken.

Stick with the UV
You're describing linear filters, circular would effect the focus and metering just as much as a UV filter besides that you lose a stop of light that might make it slightly harder to focus for slower lenses.CPL filters affect the capability of the camera to autofocus, particularly with zoom lenses in the higher range.

There are a number of reasons for EXIF being absent, film for example. In one competition the judge thought I had used a Fuji camera when in fact it was a Fuji scanner. 'Saving for the web' is another reason.
EXIF can be edited anyway using Photome. I think we have to take people on trust and if the data isn't embedded then the photographer should add it at the bottom.
True but when you used a digital camera you should be able to provide one with EXIF data, maybe by email like I just suggest as for film, we must just take their word for it.There are a number of reasons for EXIF being absent, film for example.

It's just for fun after all so lets hope nobody is so low to cheat for a friendly competition.

Apologies to Stefan for not entering but I ran out of time to take my intended shot - 'Fawley Oil Refinery by Night'.
Aww too bad, you had some extra time last night though Apologies to Stefan for not entering but I ran out of time to take my intended shot - 'Fawley Oil Refinery by Night'.
Better luck next time, it's so hard to find some time to do a shot you where intended to do.
I hoped the competition was really accessible for all.

Don't worry Gareth, it's for fun after all like Mike and I-berg seems to suggest and John noted me.
I don't know maybe we can make it so that the top 3 should send a prove over e-mail if they didn't include an EXIF for any reason or another?
Well that's something to think about for the next judge.
Now the ranking, it was a hard one because many were really good.
1. Elscotto - The Hang Out
2. JudithAnn - Smoking on the Mountian
3. cardiff_gareth - Porthkerry Viaduct
all three without exif so that's what made the rule so important
And the highly recommended goes to
GlynM - Farnborough Landscape
Dr. Mhuni - Tea Factory, Sri Lankan highlands
Mikew – untitled
davidtrout - Stairway to Heaven
I'm very pleased with everyone's entery and those that I named were very close together.

You'd be better of with the W80 I'd have said as it's waterproof & shock resistant so you wouldn't have to worry too much about the inevitable accident.
The IQ isn't reported to be class-leading, but certainly fine for snapshots.
For that reason the W90 might be better and I must say that I really like the H90, don't know how much more expensive that one is...You'd be better of with the W80 I'd have said as it's waterproof & shock resistant so you wouldn't have to worry too much about the inevitable accident.

Depends, if you mean the K-X then that isn't true for the lower ISO and if you mean the K10D, the k7 is better at higher ISO. I know it isn't, but knowing that I can get a better ISO performance in another pentax

Don't worry Stefan, they'll get around to you eventually.
Then you'll need John to work his magic.
