Good to see that Tony-O has got as much use out of that glass door as I got out of my grandfather clock

I sent my Ixus 500 off to Colchester Camera Repair Service on Monday and it came back on Friday with a new 'optical unit', camera recalibrated etc. etc. all FOC.

Brilliant service

This dodgy sensor problem must have cost Sony a fortune

That is a bit worrying if you look at this definition :-

"the act by which a particular Christian church declares a deceased person to be a saint"

Congratulations and commiserations to Martin for the winning entry.

Thank you Dr. Mhuni for setting the competition and the judging.

.................maybe getting down a bit lower would have helped – and also accentuated the way the lines of the pier and boat converge, which I like.
The photograph was taken lying down on the pontoon with the camera literally at pontoon level (hence the caption) so nowhere lower to go, other than over the side of the pontoon, which would have picked up the underside of the pontoon - most unattractive.

The boat is very small, not much larger than a rowing boat and the idea was to use the fish-eye lens to make it look as though it is looming large out of the photograph.

In this, I think it succeeds.

Hmmmmm........,Nine entries so far, and a little less than two hours to go.
Let's hope for some last minute entries

Martin.
Very disappointing

I thought that it was a very open subject that should have attracted more entries.

It did not work for me last night so I assumed that the site was down to allow Chris to lower his prices

Anyone else had one from pascaline000?

Is there any way that admin could stop her (i'm assuming it's a her!) from sending private messages... all that she is offering is love and i already get that...

Anyway, it's quite annoying.
Would you have answered if Pascaline0000 was a boy???
She probably is a male.
