Hey TT - I hope our Glasgow meeting goes ahead - I'm looking forward to seeing Glasgow! Just make sure the few sunny days you get are while I'm there .

Fireworks went on sale today for New year's Eve. they can't legally be set off until 31 January, but I hear them all around tonight.
At least there weren't the usual bangers going off from November this year.
A couple of firework bombs already, but all in all so far so good.
Just the hell of fireworks for the next couple of days.
It will be interesting to see how Timber copes with NYE this year without the calming influence of Silke. We'll ignore him, as usual though.

Luckily the DNGs on the K-7 and K-5 are compressed to a similar size to the PEFs. The size is what stopped me using DNG on the K20D.

2010- lost friends too, but all my remaining family made it through.
My travelling actually decreased.
I was not happy with my photography most of the year - various niggles with the K20d, then what seemed like a long time without a camera before getting the K-5, and losing it again.
Inspiration was definitely lacking.

2011

My aim is to take more photographs and work on my technique. I don't know if I'll manage it or not. Hopefully the K-5 will provide challenges and I will find inspiration.

I'd love to go back to Africa, but can't see it happening. Hopefully a long distance trip to maybe the US or Canada will happen.

I'm still hoping and planning on the PU Scottish meet which should be good fun.

I'm contemplating a couple of photography courses, one in Holland, one in France, but unless my husband or someone else will go too they will be too expensive - the single supplement is horrific.

I am hoping to feel fitter, mentally and physically, in 2011 so I can do all the above.

Have you switched it on in the menu? Page 3 or so of the first menu- I think it is off as standard and needs switching on there.

Do you have it set to 3 second timer or remote by any chance? Then the SR is automatically switched off.

Still no sign of Stefan (Anvh) then, must be a good reason or hangover for his absence.

I busy printing 73 photo's, then I have to sort them into the respective customers etc. so not a lot of time for other things.
Stefan has decided to leave the forum - if you look at the last voting comp thread you can see what he said to Lidy in a PM on the Dutch forum. The reason still seems unclear to us though - no one seems to have been any ruder than normal to him in the last couple of threads.

I am looking for two good photos to complete my 2010 album project. I started it in January using a Moleskine Japanese Album book which opens up rather like a set of macro bellows. It can hold ten business card-sized photos per month which I print using a Polaroid "PoGo" printer and stick in with their own self-adhesive backing.

There are three spaces left, but I want the final one to be on New Year's Eve as close to midnight as possible. The first one is a duck which was present in the early hours of New Year's Day at a party (the duck was a great guest, it spent most of the evening asleep on one leg next to its owner's wood burner!)
What a great idea.

I shall have a look at the Moleskine albums - I love their notebooks - I use them when travelling.

HinFrance - where was it bought in the UK? I sent mine back to SRS rather than deal with the Dutch importers (who have also been very good about all this from what I hear).
Maybe you should have considered that option - returning it to the retailer. Though if it was Mifsuds then you could have been in the same situation as Mike-P of course.

If you do decide to sell up (and I really hope you don't), then maybe you would give forum members first dibs and advertise here before going to e-bay?

Mike-P I would get on to Misfuds again this week and find out where your camera is and what is going on. If SRS can get mine, replace it and have it back to me in NL so quickly Mifsuds should be able to do the same for you.

Good luck every one.

Oh one final thing someone in NL has one with a S/n starting with 39 which is affected .

Congratulations Will and Mrs Will! That has to be the best Christmas present anyone could wish for.
Get lots of photos of him - he'll be all grown up before you realise .
