A 35mm works out as a 52.5mm equivalent, neatly half way between the 50mm and 55mm lenses of the film years.

Whichever way iot happens, you want it to happen fast, so give Chris a ring in the morning. There's time before you go away.

Thinking about this, and unfashionable as it is, the 17 volume Time Life set on photography is still worth reading through. It covers a lot of timeless material and could still provide a lot of inspiration. The out of date stuff you could skim.

I suspect this is the sort of thing you would find expensive postage-wise on eBay, but probably quite cheap in second hand book stores.

Try and get the original larger format books rather than the resissued compact ones.

I've changed its status and then restablished its status again just in case the edit caused a problem.

Well done. Can we see the image?

The single most critical thing is to resize your images to a maximum of 800 pixels wide before you upload them to Photobucket. This was you won't lose sharpness and you won't distort the forum.

A file size of 200K or so is more than enough - see ePHOTOzine for plenty of proof of that. Some very detailed images may mean larger files, but some of the images uploaded are just enormous and it isn't necessary. It just slows things down.

As for multiple images, there's no prohibition, but be aware that you won't get the same attention and feedback as you will from a single image.
