Many thanks Martin.

As I was taking it, I suddenly remembered your 'Decay in Blue' competition winner. I tried looking for it this evening but it appears to have disappeared :

I had intended taking a completely different shot last weekend but I was unwell so it did not happen.

I went to my boat today and wandered around the marina taking various images with the DA 10-17. Most would have been more appropriate for last fortnight's competition i.e. "what on earth is it" and some would have suited this week's 'Reflections' competition.

I have not used the DA 10-17 for a while and forgotten just how much ends up in the picture, such as the shadow of the photographer or the photographer's feet etc. etc.

Very brave of anyone to place the contents of their bathroom on view on the internet

I think the ground anchor is used to screw the rear leg of the tripod into the floor boards, to prevent overbalancing

Simple,
Hit button link beneath text box. Than a pop up box appears, asking you the paste in the link. Hit OK and the link shows up between these tags:
[link]......here comes the pasted link.....[/link] There will be the word link before the closing tag [/link]. That word can be changed for any text you want. Like your website


HIH,
Martin.
Thanks Martin.

I had often wondered how that was done and had never noticed the 'link' button.

It would be nice for the female amongst us if they would produce a reasonable size bag that looked like a handbag but took a body and a couple of lens at least, one of those bags that you wear across the body but does not scream expensive camera at all and sundry.
Like this?

I am envious of the condition of your 110 case

Ours is generally in good condition apart from where one of our cats decided to chew it, many years ago

The Kata 3N1 range (...-10 -20 -30)
Its a backpack plus slingshot, can be configure for left or right hand sided use. Straps can be tucked away, you can top load it for long lenses, rain cover of course... It shows I desperately want one doesn't it?

Pricy
Kata for me (three different models).

Very well designed and very well made.

I agree that they are pricey but you can find some good deals if you shop around.

If it's a Canon there is a good chance it has the Sony sensor it it. Whether they are still repairing them free of charge I don't know.

http://www.imaging-resource.com/badccds.html tells you about it.
Thanks Gwyn.

Checking the Canon site, it would appear that they are still doing repairs.

I hope so since it would be a shame to consign it to the bin

I have done a search and found this website :-

My Canon is on the list so it looks like an e-mail to Canon UK coming up
