This is probably better as a report, marking the report under Suggestions.

An afterthought. As we climbed up to Clitheroe Castle, I stopped and looked down at the ampitheatre below. The last time i looked at that scene I was using a Pentax MX with SMC Pentax-M 50mm f1.7 lens, Tri-X, and an orange filter.

How's that for memory?

First day out and about in Clitheroe gave us a feel for the new cameras. And that feel was basically business as usual. No glitches and one or two nice improvements, such as faster access to changing ISO and a perfectly viable but different way of changing exposure compensation.

Bringing the images back home, one plus point is that they now open in Photoshop as 300ppi images and the size is spot on for making an A3 print. Excellent, couldn't be better. Quality will improve because no resizing at all will be needed for competition prints, assuming of course that the full frame is used.

Compacts can be the hard way to do photography, but if we let go and just dial in what they are designed for then they do it all for us. Good or bad? It depends, because it certainly enables inexperienced shooters.

I'm doing a two hour workshop for ADAPS in May on using compact cameras. There are people who want to understand more, so let's embrace the technology.

I understand your frustration, but just ignore it and it won't be a problem very soon I'm sure.

If you are not charging and want to help them then do so with a clear conscience! You own the copyright and will always do so unless you give or sell it to someone else.

You don't need to register with anyone.

Tried and tested is a fair point. Nobody earning a living takes an untried technology out to use unless it is backed up and backed up again.

When electronics started to creep into professional SLRs it caused quite a stir and there was initially a lack of trust in the new technology.

Somebody is winding somebody up I think.....or trying to.

You have the copyright. You can sell the right to a single use, multiple uses or whatever else you wish.

I would find out what it's needed for and quote them a price for the single use for that purpose.
