I've done firmware updates on several cameras and every time sat on the edge of my seat, it's high time manufacturers offered recovery software in the event of what is essentially a computer crash.

Fingers crossed the recovery isn't too costly for you.

Yikes! All summer I have tolerated a ground nest of red wasps by the side path against my house as they have buzzed busily in and out, avoiding me as they go, except today one stung me on the foot. It really hurts! It turns out that the workers only become a pest after the hatchlings have flown around the end of August so Mrs RobL has gone to the hardware store to see what weaponry they stock.
FLAMETHROWER!!!!!!!

Last time I was in Tenby was 42 years ago for a cheap belated honeymoon a few weeks after we were married, I probably got a very similar shot to your first on slide somewhere

Last ones my favorite but I can't decide whether or not I like the seagul, think I'd have been tempted to exterminate it (with photoshop of course)

The superb skys make these what they are, although I'm sure the photographer had a hand in them somewhere

I think it needs some adjustment to levels Neil, looks a bit dull on my monitor otherwise it's a nice shot.

Thanks guys, I should have said these are all jpegs more or less straight out of the camera, just crop, levels and sharpen, the last one is quite a heavy crop as it was higher up in the tree, it's about a fifth of the original frame.

I'm still blown away by the results from the Q (first pic) especially since I was hand holding at full zoom, which I believe is just shy of 250mm on full frame.

Just got back from a week in Lincoln, these were taken on a visit to Whisby Nature Park, armed with my K5 and 100mm Macro, no more than 15minutes in and I came across an Emperor sunning itself and sods law the K5 wouldn't fire , turned it off and on again, removed and refitted the lens all to no avail, Fortunately I had the Q with me with the 15-45 attached, so the Emperor was taken with the Q, I then had another play the with K5 and discovered a memory card error, fortunately taking it out and putting it back in again sorted the problem, by this time the Emperor had been scared off by some other walkers No great loss though as the Q did a reasonable job.
