I chose Pentax as it is the sturdiest, i can take my camera to festivals, parties in the woods, out in the rain, mud and weather without worrying about wether i will get a shot. I Love my Pentax and the old lenses thing is great, but really its all about the weather-proofing, and the fact that it FEELS like a camera rather than a fisher price toy like its apponents! I kinda wish they made a pro one though, thats the only issue for me really is that IF i do start making huges amounts of money from my art, i will want a top of the range camera and pentax just dont cover that end of the market right now...

basically, way i see it is quite selfish really. I believe nature and the planet will succeed long past human life, but as a human... having a life, i would quite like to live with enough oxygen in the sky, fish in the sea and trees. Unfortunantly the way human beings are treating this planet at the moment is meaning that none on those things are guarenteed anymore. No Humans probably cant destroy the planet, however arrogant we become, but we can destroy ourselves, our homes and the futures for our children. We are very intelligent beings that quite often behave like virus, destroying everything because we can move on. Well there isnt any moving on, we either live in the burnt remains of yesterday, or we make the world a better place for everyone to live in. It not about surviving or dying, its about the part we play in that, and the type of place we want to live. I like taking photos of nature, animals, birds, people and more - i would hate to live in a world of no colour. we should be careful.

i couldnt agree more with the very first and very last sentance of this. you kinda lost me in the middle though

i actually think they look way better with straight horizons! cheers very much guys xx

thanks for checking it and for advice, still wondering weather to do something about those horizons in Photoshop... the orginal images are certainly big enough to edit them down and make them unsloping! I suppose its just personal opinion really, think i will edit them and see if they look load better

sloping horizons, is that a bad thing then? should i edit them?? xx

yeah i am well confused by the hover thingy, i wanted it to be quite uniform but it hasnt really worked, perhaps we will have a wee lookie at it later on in the website progress but for now i just want to get the thing full functioning! so glad of all the advice now it makes it much clearer what i need to look out for. Also due to the feedback above, my webmaster person has agreed to make the site larger,which is bloody great! thanks everyone xx

there you go mike, i have no understanding of chrome but me and flickr get on just fine hope ya enjoy them

right think we have solved the size issue, going to have a closer look at the rollover gallery function now (i assume thats where the problem was with the rollover thingy!) Thanks for the tips and support guys xx
