I think the top one here is my favourite of the three - I like the composition and the placing of the prop in the frame, looks well balanced to my eyes.

"Correct me if I am wrong but did you use flash and if so why?"
The pub was boarded up with the services disconnected, so it was very dark.
The only way my 'work' p & s camera would take the photograph was with flash.
I am not happy about using my K10d etc. around grotty building sites

Disused 'theme' pub.................only built during the boom of the late 1980's................such is progress !
Retained in colour for the 'gorgeous' rust and the 'gruesome' woodwork.

Like an idiot I purchased a split focus screen for my K10D to aid manual focus macro stuff and it was basically a load of rubbish so I put back the original.
I now have half a ton of dust behind the screen and a ruddy great fingerprint on the screen itself (sigh).
So anyway, I am going to buy myself another screen but how do I get rid of all the dust, I have tried my rocket blower and have a brush coming next week which may help but just wondering if anyone has any useful tips.
Thanks.

Nice pics. Number two is a Pyramidal Orchid - Anacomptis pyramidalis and usually flowers March - May here, but probably later in UK.
It is an amazing lens - bought for its long capabilities but capable of being used almost as a macro lens.

Does anyone know what No. 2 is : It is less than 1 foot tall.
All are uncropped.

A very interesting experiment.
When you refer to the use of a remote, do you mean both the IR remote and the wired remote or just the IR remote :
