As for Christmas Day my good lady has the fortune not to be working this year, so I've been demoted from Head Chef to Kitchen Hand which means I may actually have the chance to grab some pics of my Grandchildren opening the pile of stuff that Santa has delivered to our house by mistake

What happens after that will concern alcohol so is better discussed in the "Another Pointless Thread"

I would love to see a ghost, I was going to add "in real life" but that would be a poor choice of words

It's good to see your delving into what's out there Louise, looking at other photographers work is an excellent way of improving your understanding of what makes a good image and in turn should help you gain experience and develop your own style.

Not sure I think I have Pentium 3, how do I find out please
From your start menu right click on "My Computer" and in the menu that pops up choose "Properties" This will give you some very basic info about your computer including the Processor type.

And I'll add that using a stock photo without permission is still copyright infringement which could result in your listing been removed.

There is an unspoken agreement between most manufacturers and retailers for the retailers to use stock photos and even copy and paste descriptive text when promoting the sale of products, this however does not apply to private individuals.

I think SRS are selling K-01 bodies for £219 and Q bodies for £99.
Retailing is all swings and roundabouts, you only have to visit the January sales to discover that, if I buy 100 items and sell 75% of them with a 20%-30% (or higher) profit margin I can afford the sell the remaining stock at cost or less and still come off with a handsome profit.

There's been many taken over the years including this one of the Clanton brothers who faught at the OK Corral on October 26, 1881
Didn't Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer have something to do with that

On a more serious note, there are hundreds of iconic images (probably thousands), if you ever spot this little booklink at a reasonable price then buy it.

Many of the images are brilliant and many are arguably complete rubbish, but it will give you a brief view of some of the worlds (arguably) greatest photographers.
