I'm afraid I can't remember how it was before I became a mod - any chance of a screen shot?

Only thing is, as far as I know, they're not Pro Dealers any more, so only a 1 year warranty.

Focal length also affects the field of view and perspective, in just the same way that it does at 'normal' distances. The first shot below was taken with a 24mm lens with an extension tube, and to further clarify the working distance comments above, the nearest toadstool was nearly touching the front element of the lens. Notice how there is obvious 'distance' to the background.
The second shot was with a 105mm, and everything looks more 'contained', as perspective has been compressed by the use of the telephoto lens.
Often it won't be noticeable, but sometimes the focal length you choose will have a big impact on the look of the background.

what about this (send the person you have just chosen a message to prompt them??)
But I think the thread's a good idea too, but it was me that raised the point about noting who the photo's by, especially at the moment as it's not flowing consecutively yet, and I doubt it ever will. There will always be people commenting on the pics between photos. Just noting who took the image posted makes it clear.

I actually took one today, which may end up being entered into David's competition. In the meantime, here's one I took in January, which I thought was the work of an indecisive graffiti artist.

Of course, on the other end of the scale, and making use of all these pixels, ISO80 coupled with my 12-24 for landscapes will (hopefully) be sublime.

The K-5 now has 5 user modes. However, there is only one user mode position on the mode dial and you'll have to select which one of five modes to use.
