A SLUG! Are you trying to wind me up! That my friend, is a SNAIL, crawling up a piece of glass. You will probably be receiving a call in the very near future from Lilly who is very passionate about these much maligned creatures!
Aside from the incorrect identification, thanks for the comments - I was quite pleased with the result - it was far more interesting than the colour version.
Well done to George and to all the other entrants and well done on the turn around with posting the results too.

PS. 'Boyo' is going to be one happy chappy tomorrow - beating his father in his first competition

Congrats George. I look forward to your expert judging next week
A very quick and well judged comp Chirpy

I thought Tyr's entry was outstanding.

Dear Dan, thanks for the tip I'll try that tonight it sounds like a cool idea.
Meeting up & cleaning sensors sounds like a good idea just need to arrange a time and place. You can always come round to my place most nights apart from Tuesdays. Or we could meet up on maybe a Saturday, I go cycling a lot if the weathers nice and would normally go as far as Maldon or the Hanningfield reservoir / Stock areas if you fancy meeting out on a nice day ?
Thanks for the info, cheers.
Dans tip does work. I have tried it myself along with a few other forum members and it works a treat.Dear Dan, thanks for the tip I'll try that tonight it sounds like a cool idea.

So, if you follow this argument, you can either spend less than you were thinking (and buy a second K10D), or rather more.

I have considered the option of a 2nd K10, You can pick them up pretty cheap at the moment, and will only get cheaper still but scarcer also unless I go 2nd hand. Clarky wrote:
The price looks pretty good about 680Quid in your money. But i'm also thinking if i leave it a few months longer it will come down further.
He assures me they are not grey market but i would check the serial number before i make the purchase. Decisions Decisions
My only observation is that it is always best (especially in a stressful situation like a wedding) for the second body to be identical to the first, and to be set up the same way.Quote:
What you need is a second camera body, then you can have both lenses in use at the same time.
You may be closer to the truth than you think. I have been talking with this guy http://tinyurl.com/4knttn who is based in Sydney about getting a K20. I have a family wedding in November i will be photographing and think a 2nd body will be a prudent purchase.

He was flying around with it under him which is why i thought they were mating but after reading that bio it seems to suggest otherwise. Good find

Well done George, as Chirpy said the perfect combination of a seal, water and upside down. A pity that your computer was out of commission during last week's wildlife competition.
Many thanks to Chirpy for his well thought out judging.
I can almost see a sub-competition developing for the speediest posting of results
Maybe the only thing i win
