I remember being quite shocked by what some were posting, as was Dan and the rest of the team. It was a long time ago and what was done both publicly and behind the scenes I am not going to revisit and certainly is lost to the memory.

If anyone receives an objectionable PM they should let us know and action can be taken, but in the normal run of events PMs are private as their name implies.

At the moment I'm seeing lots of ads for Roman dresses, but that's down to Sue looking at their website. PU has no control at all over the ads, it's all down to Google and whatever systems are being used.

If the judge would like to reword the brief I can make the alterations for him. In the meantime, it seems there is a consensus, which I and others it seems will be following.

That said, I still can't choose a movie title.....

I'm assuming that I'll choose a film first, then a picture that reflects it and could be used to represent it.

I think this could be quite challenging as I'm spoilt for choice for which film.....

There is a theory that people will prefer an image of themselves if it has been revered left to right. The logic is that then they look at the image as though in a mirror, which is how we usually see ourselves.

It's a good question, but the answer will depend on the individual.

For the results I want from the K-1 I shoot in JPEG with these settings: sRGB, Natural with +1 sharpness, ***quality, centre point focus, centre weighted metering, AF and exposure locked together, -0.3EV, ISO as required but generally 400.

That may or may not suit you, but I hope it helps.

I'd have to ask does it matter for this shot? Not if we don't know the area, but if we do then we'll know it's wrong.

The area is indelibly imprinted in my mind as we recently stumbled into it in a car. Pay a toll, no problem, but a notice saying pay at the toll shop isn't helpful if there's no shop any more! After a while the internet found us a phone number for the council and we successfully phoned to pay our £2. First time visit to Durham and we found it a very difficult city to negotiate. We will try again, doing more research next time!

Back to the shot. I'd leave well alone, preferring a record image to reflect the actual situation.

The 20-35mm is a lovely lens, and compact as well.
