Thanks Stefan,

These are exactly what I was looking for, in nice easy to understand language.

I have filed them away future reference.

M, K, A,, F and FA mean in refences to Pentax lenses? How would they work on my K20d.

I am sure that this has been asked before so please excuse me asking again. I tried a search without success.

Thanks

Dave

Have you get your trackside test certificate? Apparently the Keighley and Worth Valley heritage railway are insisting that trackside photographers will need to be tested and provide a fitness declaration for eyesight, hearing and agility

Not sure how you book a test, but there is the Photographers Personal Safety Handbook apparently.

It seems that there are hidden dangers such as silent diesels and trains running at times not on the timetable which I thought was normal

Its a dangerous world out there take care

Nikwax Techwash is ideal for cleaning waterproof fabrics.(www.nikwax.com I use it on outdoor clothing. They also make a wash in waterproofer which does not need heat treatment to make it work.

Try Argos on line. They seem to have the 70mm at around £370 at the moment.Elsewhere it is £470

Dave

Love it Alan. Well done.

I have never had a problem with my varifocals with a camera, binoculars or telescope.

However it does take a few weeks to get used to them when you first start. Even walking can feel strange, even worse going up the lake district hills ! I just increased the wearing of the new glasses over time interspersed with using my old ones. I soon got used to them that way.

Dave

Good as they are you cant spill or tipe ani beetr

Thanks for taking the weather with you Dave.

If you had asked me i could have shown you local spots to photograph snow In fact I think that the first one was taken on the approach to Baildon Moor!!!!

How about a drink with the spider some time?

Dave

Hello montyaus.

Please take my comments as being constructive...
It seems a lttle out of focus to me. I think that it might hold interest more if the shot were framed/cropped around the birds. This would cut out the sky and roof which we are distracting.

Have you got anymore shots to show us? There are some great photographers on here who could guide you like they have me and many others.

Dave

Ha Ha!

Its a photo of a photo....
