You will enjoy the Isle of Wight, we loved it when we went a few years ago.

There are some lovely walks in West Wight. Up over Tennyson Down for instance, or above the Needles, near Totland. The villages are nice too.

There are dinosaur footprints along the south coast and the chance to find your own fossils.

We quite liked Cowes too, and there are usually some great yachts there to photograph.

There is a prehistoric Longstone near Mottistone, and a couple of Roman villas on the island too.

We didn't visit Osborne House but it is supposed to be lovely.

Sounds odd. Are you sure you hadn't been playing with the settings and set up the B/W filter by mistake?

Peter, the site only tells you that when you get to the order form. Pentax keeps all it's subsidiaries and distributors separate and prevents them from supplying someone in another area.

Could be - I didn't search for one.

Pink the magic lantern guides are not really better than the manual - but maybe explain some things in a clearer way.

I doubt that Pentax would supply an English manual for free - they regard Pixmania as a "grey importer".

The link Mannesty gives is for Pentax USA which will not supply outside the US. You can but a copy of the manual here according to Pentax UK.

Alternatively have a look at the Magic Lantern guide.

Absolutely! astonishing for that ISO.

Technoidiot, I wouldn't bother with a flash for the church window you want to try, your pop-up flash wouldn't make that much difference, and you will lose atmosphere. Your high ISO photos are so good I really wouldn't worry!

You can get a remote shutter release, either wired or wireless, to use with a tripod, or use the 2 second delay in the menu.

So it will be OK for a British company to steal anyone's photos regardless of which country that photographer is from, and the copyright laws of the photographer's country? What are the chances an Australian, American or even a Dutch person will spot that their photo has been used in this way and be able to claim their fee?

I hope you are all writing to your MPs about this.

And about what is effectively a ban on street photography in the UK.

It's lovely, and close enough to symmetry. Don't knock yourself out over this.
You have tried hard, and found a very lovely example. I'm impressed.

I thought you were selling an 18-250 Mike?
