Thanks Chris - appreciate the thought - as she is a Police trained and qualified Advanced Fast Pursuit driver I would hope she has been schooled in all forms of safe driving - and as a mother of two little girls her days of "silly" driving are long over - if you drive a VW T2 camper van you get used to not stopping quickly in ALL conditions !!
Stay warm healthy and safe

Sorry, I don’t think she needs advice from me.
But it was something that sprang to mind when I read your thread.
When I was being professionally works trained for 4x4 driving, I remember it as being one of the first things being stated. “You will be able to get moving under most conditions, but remember you also have to be able to stop”. (May not be the exact words), it was a long time ago.
Now reduced to driving an automatic, with adapted left foot accelerator.
Or a mobility scooter. (Not in the cold weather).
How times change.
Best regards.

My daughter Emma has "blagged" a 4x4 monster vehicle from the Met Police in order to facilitate her commute from E.Sussex to Central London this week regardless of the dodgy weather - beats 105 minutes each way on an unreliable train !
Aparently it`s "cool" - ah! the joys of ( comparitive ) youth.........
Frosty start here this am but sun is weakly getting through - no wind or rain or what I believe is called snow - tee hee.
Chocolate and beer - love it Cedric, although bacon butties and tea sounds pretty good too !!!!

A friendly word of caution for your daughter.
I had a 4x4, with electrically locking diffs etc, all the bells and whistles, mud, loose sand, ice/snow, it would go virtually anywhere, but and this is a big but, it would not stop on a slippery surface any better than any other vehicle.
Best regards.

That all sounds mind boggling. Is it the same if I just go to a shop and buy a flash?

For a Pentax or Pentax compatible flash unit, have a look on SRS web site, under Pentax flash units.
Take care.

Brian.
If you are going to check the trigger voltage with a meter, ensure that the meter, is in the high (k ohms) per volt, a meter with low (ohms) per volt, will quench the trigger voltage, not giving a correct reading.

Hi Brian.
I would second the comment by Chris, don’t use any flash unit on the camera hot shoe, before measuring or knowing the trigger, (switch voltage).
I think, this time you were lucky, as it looks as if the flash unit is dead.

Great atmospheric set of images, particularly like the image looking through the footbridge window, down onto the platform.
From looking at the first image, my nostrils, were full of the smell, that only the mixture of steam, smoke and hot oil can give, wonderful.

Does anyone else know what a Facebook Feed is? Sounds like an American-style bookshop & café.
I do get a Email from Facebook approx every three weeks, saying you have not logged in. I wish I could Email back, and say what’s the point.
I note that most commercial and other organisations, including this Pentax User site, say follow us on Facebook, I am already viewing the relative site, so why would I want to go to Facebook ?.
Sorry a long way around re your question, but I also do not know what a Facebook feed is.: But I am sure someone will know.
Take care.
