You asked one of the guards what will the other guard say and do the opposite. Am I correct?
Like I said Stefan, you have far too much time on your hands, did you remember it or did you figure it out?

Stefan......
.......you have far too much time on your hands

As do I, so heres a puzzle for you all, first one to post the correct answer wins.

You are in a room, there are two doors, one door will lead to your freedom the other will lead to your death, there is a guard at each door, niether will stop you from leaving, both guards know which exit is which, one of the guards will ALWAYS tell the truth, the other will ALWAYS lie, you however do not know which guard is which or which exit is which.
You may ask one guard one question, so how do you discover the correct exit:

Whats the problem then, although thinking about it if your wife forgoes the hairdo you could probably afford two new lenses

Your post is NOT off topic, it includes a photograph, therefore it is definately ON topic as this is a photography forum

PS: does it go well with orange sauce:

Erm, I thought it refered to Spotmatic camera bodies!
And I thought it meant "Superb Pentax

Well I really knew it meant my Tamron macro was extra special but now I also know I can spit on my DA* lenses to clean them and they wont be harmed

Thanks for the feedback folks, it seems you mostly agree that the toned down version is more natural. I'm going to try a 20% reduction to saturation on other stuff I shot that day, especially a Goldfinch that looked like it had been painted because the yellow and red were so intense.

Looks like some experimentation with the colour settings may be in order

This has obviously been a good move for Pentax then, it seems people are now buying a Pentax and joining this forum to save a few pounds

Well I suppose we can forgive Ian, he is after all a Yorkshireman (at least he would be if they didn't leep shifting the borders and renaming stuff:wink

Welcome to the forum Ian, I dont think you'll find much difference between the SD and SDHC cards until you shoot in burst mode or try uploading a 4gig card full. For the K20D a 4 gig card would be a good idea though.
