I think there must be a minimum number of votes and a certain percentage positive, but ain't sure though.Then again, through that same process, I've actually not been given the opportunity to vote on other's images, that then pop up in the gallery! Now how does that work:

Like Ken I find I'm pretty harsh in voting. For starters I vote out everything with a leaning horizon. Common topics like sunsets and macros have to be really stunning for me to vote yes. I find I'm more lenient with portraits though, there aren't enough portraits in the PPG anyway, and a great captured expression can cover up a lot of technical sins
Same here, I only once had a page with all thumbs up. Most of the time it's 2 thumbs up per page.Like Ken I find I'm pretty harsh in voting. For starters I vote out everything with a leaning horizon.

@Stefan: The K-7 introduced a new option for the Auto ISO. There is now "Slow" (which will veer towards lower ISOs but obviously slower shutter speeds), "Normal" (which is what the K20D and K10D do), and "Fast" (where it'll use higher ISOs to gain a faster shutter speed). A bit like a program-line for ISO. Useful
I cover these steps and more in my £4.95 flash guide

Can we expect an update for your book now that you have a K7?

I can't comment on the iso.
What do you mean with slow adjustment selected, if you mean trailing curtain than that's your problem. When you've you flash set on trail curtain, the camera will keep on metering normally.
It's the symbol with two arrows and a flash on the right side.

also when using av mode with the lens at 200mm about 8ft away from the subject with a shutterspeed of 180/sec and iso 400 and f4.5 it comes out slightly darker than the same test with an apature of f8 surely the larger apature should be brighter.
Because of the P-TTL metering the camera automatically adjust the flash power and therefore the exposure.also when using av mode with the lens at 200mm about 8ft away from the subject with a shutterspeed of 180/sec and iso 400 and f4.5 it comes out slightly darker than the same test with an apature of f8 surely the larger apature should be brighter.

Well I was thinking of getting a glass but no need for that
You aren't expected to vote at all I believe, at least I don't do it often.

The new f/Stop 1.4 looks pretty, slightly bigger than the pro I think.

And for those that are alread registered a question on voting, How many images is one expected to vote on? it seems to me that they just keep on coming and you could be there all night.

Since opera 9 you can block animation, sound, javascript and plug-ins (flash, silverlight ect.)
You can selective allow or disallow content.
Simply do right click on an empty space and say block and click on everything you want to block and that's it

I would hold on to your 6x7 gear till the 645D is out, it might go for an higher price then.

Also is your flash not set on 465 or 6x7?
