Having said I can't enter - I realised the Rover 75 is totally retro!.....................Mike
I am glad that you found something appropriate Mike

I had been looking out for a Fiat 500 in a nice location, but could only find them in 'rubbish' surroundings

What people mean by retro, which is after all a slang word, is much broader than Mike's purist 'product design' definition..............................
It is what the judge defines as a 'retro object' that matters for this competition

Retro is something that is new but has an old design right, like the new Mini for example and the new Pentax i10?
Exactly right Stefan IMHO

The sun looks as if it has a tripod all of its own Hyram. Great colours.

Did you take this trhough an open window or through glass? There seems to be something going on in the shadow areas, especially to the left. Not sure if that may have been some reflection?
It was taken through an open window but I agree that there is something odd going on in the shadows particularly on the left. It is not really visible in the original but became more obvious when I lightened the shadows a bit

Tony - my thoughts as well, which is one reason why I haven't entered (yet) as I cannot locate anything suitable. I'm not certain than more than a couple of entries meet that requirement so far.

Mike
I agree with you both and until this morning had not found anything suitable that I thought met the criteria

Thanks Hyram. Yes please, send emails direct to David. Several happy purchasers here will vouch for the accuracy of his descriptions.

Best wishes, Kris.
hi
I've send 3 email asking about LX stuff, but get no reply. Could you help me check that?

regards
Joe
The e-mail address for David is his work address (University of Southampton) so it may be that he is away on a field trip at the moment or has been away over the Easter holidays.

If so, he may be back at work on Monday.

When I e-mailed him, I got a reply within an hour.

I suggest that you keep trying

I was playing around with the K10D + Sigma 105 on a new mini tripod that arrived this week and decided to take the sunset out of the study window.

I am not sure if the Icelandic ash has made any difference

UK based, so 6pm in the UK in my opinion - and it does matter as I have been known to submit within minutes of the deadline.

However, so long as it's clear I'll go with the flow.

Mike
I agree 6.00pm local time, which means GMT in the Winter and BST in the Summer.

The Weekly Competition follows this format

Congratulations to everyone.

Mike's 'Beano' shot was my favourite - excellent punchy colours
