I resize every image before uploading to Photobucket. This keeps all the control of how the image looks with me and does not rely on PB doing any resizing.

The other advantage of this is that upload times are very short as the file size is only around 200K per image, give or take.

I usually combine 7 exposures using Photomatix, but HDR is something that doesn't really suit many images IMHO. If it's overdone it can quickly get OTT.

I don't think a Pentax User site is likely to be able to answer your questions about the Sigma camera, which is not really in the main arena of things.

The W90 is good down to 6 metres for up to 120 minutes - fine for beach, swimming, snorkling. No good for serious diving, but that's a different issue.

I can see that would make for a long and expensive bit of litigation.

Instructions on how to post images are found in the topics at the top of the Your Photos section.

It depends whether flash photography suits your style. Personally I prefer available light, wherever possible. Flash can be harsh.

However, fill-in flash in daylight portraits and studio flash definitely have their place. There is huge creative potential for those who want to involve themselves in major use of flash.

There are avrious strobist sites on the web, and it may be worth your while to browse and see what people are doing.

Much better. Dpending on how much you want in focus and how far away you are, f16 is ideal and f22 may take the edge off lens performance. However, it should still be useable and it's nice to have the option.

Enjoy your dinner!

They sold for double or more of what they cost. Considering the value of their use over a 20 year period, it's a reasonable return I think. The bidding was quite exciting for a 90mm f2, but that's probably not too unexpected.
