Did no-one have a New Year's Eve party?
We were so busy preparing for and then hosting our New Year's Eve party that there was no time to take any photographs

The time slot to take a photograph was only 24 hours

I had a look at this week's competition entries and decided the first (and so far only) picture was by JR (without hovering over the image).

I am not sure why it struck me as a JR type of image

What does anyone else think :

I have two Slik pistol grips and think they are brilliant :-

The one in the photograph is on my monopod and the other one is on my tripod.

The only downside is if you do lots of 'stitched together' panoramas.

Welcome Amin and enjoy your purchase.

I have three Kata camera bags and they are very well made.

My recommendation would be to definitely see camera bags in a shop, since it is particularly difficult to assess on the internet, what might fit into a specific bag.

As a side point, this will be my first fortnightly comp so I need an 'idiot's guide' to submitting an image.
This is the link to submitting an image :-

www.pentaxuser.co.uk/forum/topic/How-to-Post-Images-6624

It applies to submitting an image anywhere in the Forum.

The maximum size in any direction for the Fortnightly Competition is 800.

There is no limit set for the Weekly Competition in the Gallery, because the system automatically resizes submissions.

They may have a smaller window of opportunity, but at least they wont freeze whilst taking photos !
I think someone in Perth, Australia will have more time to get the right shot than someone in Perth, Scotland who will be battling freezing batteries & the onset of frostbite !
I agree.

I went out last night for a look around and quickly came back inside again.

The thought of fiddling about in the dark with different settings in a freezing cold, easterly wind was not appealing

The other option of shooting from inside the house with a window wide open would not have been popular either

My vote would go to the DA* 300 + the Pentax TC (once it becomes available).

Welcome Richard.

At least there are no film costs with digital
