The place to have a chat about this competition if you feel the need.

I'll stop reading here once there are entries in the competition, so PM me after then if you have questions or there's anything that needs clarifying.

Have fun!

Dan

Will do! And you have a great one in Chelmsford! Will be popping over there tomorrow for a bit of shopping and to drop off a card into Cameraworld.

Dan

Hello from Brentwood!

Welcome to the forum Alan, hope you enjoy it here.

Dan

I meant, there are five trees, not there should be.

For cleanliness sake I might be tempted to go back and re-shoot it from a position further to the right, so the second tree along (the small one!) is hidden behind the third tree (the big one). Obviously that might not be possible, but if it is, I think it might make the picture even more simple and eyecatching. Perhaps you could shoot from a slightly lower angle too, to rid the horizon of the distant treetops? Of course, all that might make it look too sterile.

Of the edits, I like your last one best, doesn't look as 'heavy' as Prieni's.

That was a heck of a firmware release then, swapping from Compact Flash to SDHC.

To me it really just makes sense to update firmware whenever it's released, as there are almost certainly a whole load of little tweaks included that they don't tell us about. This may be one of them, perhaps there's an occasional problem with the K-7 and these particular cards on the original firmware.

I still wouldn't want to rely on this card until your absolutely sure that the problem's solved though.

No Stefan, it's not vulgar at all. Wasn't sure if you meant pencil or pen (knew the word from the german 'bleistift' - pencil).

I'd just assumed you'd forgotten to use the english word, but we'll let you off if you thought it was the same.

Dan

Now normally we're quite tolerant of you foreigners round here, but we can do without language like that, thank you very much.

Dan

I think there perhaps confusion here between 'Professional' as a noun and 'professional' as an adjective.

If you earn a living from photography, you are a 'Professional Photographer'. (Noun)

That doesn't mean you are producing images of a 'professional' standard. (Adjective)

Dan

Proof reading leaves a lot to be desired too...

And this is a little disturbing, on one of the Customer Services pages:

"If you live outside the United States, custom and tariff fees may apply according to your country's import laws. These fees are not collected by this company, and this company does not have control of these fees."

They've obviously just copied across all this info from the US version.

Oh, and do these cameras come with a 2 year warranty?

Dan

Five trees, surely?
