The concept of this image is lovely and pose-wise it could only, maybe, be improved by Mum and baby looking at each other and baby's hand not obscuring the kiss. However, it still works just as it is.

As regards the after treatment, my preference is for a black and white version, but no blue eyes. As soon as colour is introduced it distracts from the perfect moment. Black and white has no such distractions and in this instance I think it's dramatically better.

Really nice and worth taking some more as soon as you can.

Thank you James, I'll have a nice cold glass of crisp, oaky tasting white wine.

And Merry Christmas to one and all.

Automatic diaphragm refers to the lens working at open aperture for metering and then stopping down to the working aperture when the shutter is released. We assume this these days.

AF teleconverters are what they say - they allow AF aperation with AF lenses because they have all the electronic and mechanical linkages necessary.

Sue's first DSLR was an MV with the SMC Pentax-M 40mm f2.8 and it takes images as good as any other SLR body. In fact, we still have it but it's worth more as a momento than getting a paltry £10 for it, less fees, on eBay!

All you need to do with a eCheque is wait for it to clear. Just like any other cheque.

The downside to this is that it can take quite a long time, sometimes 10 days or more.

I've had a couple of eCheque payment, but as long as the buyer realised that they would have to wait for the goods it wasn't a problem.

If you don't fancy the job, then just refuse it?

It will also depend on shutter speed and focusing distance.

However, it does use some current so I suppose you could turn it off to conserve battery power.
