I bought a replacement focusing screen for my K100d from China after I stupidly tried to clean the original one and scrached it. It came in I think a week and cost I think 10 quid plus free postage. It works fine and is identical in every way (apart from the damage) ... jeff...

I like this Walkeja , as John says quiet and cold, and you inside.
Not a trace of snow here, clear and bright today but cold and still this evening...jeff..

I'm with you on this ,BigJR there are a few things in life to be repulsed by. Racism , sexism ,homophobia, to name a few, but HDR...a tad OTT as you say .

So now you can take that photo of jack, sorry Mike, I just could not resist.

Music just ain't the same since they invented the piano .......... I think that photoshop and other similar software has enhanced and improved the possibilities of photography , :...jeff...

There is a well known image out there of a young man who has ironed his legs. They are completely flat and hanging off the ironimg board. All done on Photoshop. Is that right? I think not.[/quote] I have not seen this photo, but why do you think that it is not 'right' I am very puzzled ? ...jeff....

I'm not sure I get this , IMHO there is no such thing as 'real' in photography , because a photograph is a two dimensional interpretation of a three dimensional world .
All of the stuff needed to capture that version of reality are variable ,lens, camera ,sensor, or film, and the chemicals used to process that film. They all alter the image to a greater or lesser degree.
This process can sometimes either by design or accident reveal deep truths about this world that we live in,
and those are the photographs that we should value... jeff... I'll get me coat.......

Not as far as I can tell ....jeff....
