To enter a Gallery competition, and there is a post that explains it from ages ago, go to Gallery>Competitions.

Select the competition you want, there is just #228 running, and then click "Enter competition" - just upload an image from your computer. A link won't do it, so I'll see what's been dione and you'll be able to make a proper entry as outlined.

If you have any problem still, PM me and I'll go into more detail.

The mistiness is just right and the subject irresistable.

Interesting, I guess you'll settle on a suitable set eventually, but let's hope the path isn't too expensive. Maybe you should have bit the bullet and gone straight for the 31mm. Compared to Leica prices, it's not too badly placed. It is also more or less a "standard" lens. The 35mm Macro is also close though, and the macro facility will no doubt be useful.

The 70mm is a superb lens and very compact, so that might suit very well. The telephoto end would then be catered for.

As a 24/28mm replacement the 15mm is about right IMHO - slightly wider perhaps at 22.5mm-equivalent, but still very compact.

The 55-300mm is a good lens and carries you way beyond what you will have had with the Leica M system.

I'm less convinced about the Tamron. Leica prime to Tamron zoom doesn't seem either compact or likely to satisfy in other ways, but you'll only know by trying.

Don't forget that on the K-5 you can increse the ISO value quite some way with little adverse effect, so faster lenses may not always be necessary. However, time will tell, so do please let us know how it's working out.

I use www.blurb.com and have found them every bit as good as my first book which was done by my son Mike for me on Apple Books.

That isn't to say that other suppliers aren't good, but Sue did one with Cewe and I didn't think the paper quality was quite up to the same standard.

Apple and Blurb do quality equivalent to any coffee table book that you might buy in a bookshop.

Well I did find a shot eventually when I remembered a martial arts session with Liz, a friend's daughter. She is now a black belt.

I'm not sure why you getting something wrong becomes a grievance, but please don't go too far with that on PU.

After someone has bought something, they can do with it whatever they like.

I would suspect that the test of whether anyone owns something is whether or not they were entitled to sell or dispose of it legally.

Council property would fail that test for any one individual.

In my case it just exposes a lack of interest in sport and the fact that I have hardly ever shot a sports picture.

I will have to look very long and hard to see if I can find anything, but look I shall.

I don't think I'd be using a level indicator at a wedding anyway.

Moved over to Your Photos.

It's a good idea to home in on details - the overall view is often disappointing.
