I did not see any Pentax cameras at all. There were about sixty places booked, but some changed to the evening event later in the year. I was helping out so only a few pictures taken.The feretory was out of bounds due to people walking on St Cuthbert's tomb in the past, that aside all went well.

The old favourite FastStone. Just make a copy of the folder and direct the resized files to the folder and allow overwrite.

Any sign of David Trout in that lot on the station?
No idea if David was there but he did say he might go. No doubt he'll let us know shortly and add another pic or two if he was.
Here is the answer LINK

At the end of last September I found three images which I thought were mine on a national news paper website. I made an official complaint through the correct channels but got no reply. Through a mutual friend I was contacted by the photographer whos credit was on the images , he said he would try and sort it out. Still no progress in January, so I sent them an invoice. I received a phone call from the paper and was told I would receive a letter to sign and return. After a couple of weeks and no letter I was wondering what my next move should be, then I remembered a website which shows the contact details of the bosses of just about every company in the UK. I emailed the editor on his private email address and that got an immediate response. Within a week it was sorted, money in the bank and I now have an account to submit images to probably the biggest newspaper group in the country.

I have just checked the photos and the credits have not been changed, but what I was paid for three 800x600 pix images I am not bothered.

The ISO range looks interesting if correct.
