In the UK you automatically own the copyright to your images and you don't have to do anything.

If it's any help, I use the K10D and the K20D and to be honest noise is not really an issue with either of them.

In both cases I usually use 200 ISO as standard. If the need arises, then I do quite happily up the ISO, preferring a slightly grainy (noisy) but sharp image to an unsharp one.

Noise intrudes from 800 ISO, but not excessively so, and the need for faster speeds than that is a bit debateable IMHO. However, I have used 1600 ISO when needed.

When we used film, how often did we really reach for the Agfapan 1000 or the Kodak 2475 Recording Film? Very rarely, I suspect.

An afterthought: this is the first time I've found that the 12-24mm lens wasn't wide enough.

WE had a great night shooting at Manchester Town Hall on Tuesday and here's an HDR of the internal courtyard:

It really is an incredible building. Sue has posted another image in the Gallery section and that's worth a look if you have a moment!

Please only post in one place, I'll remove the other identical thread so everyone knows where to comment on your image.

Nice picture by the way!

It's clearly causing problems.

That's a valid reason Gearge. I just have the feeling that many people are pushed into shooting RAW without really knowing why, thus making their learning curve with digital unnecessarily steep.

A friend of mine did this. He thought he was missing something, so tried out RAW and lost the plot with his photography. He's now gone back to JPEG and all is well again.

I've nothing against shooting in RAW per se if we know why we're doing it.

Having the "A" on the aperture ring of a lens enables all the exposure modes. It allows the lens and camera to communicate.

It would still need to be the right sort of lens in the case of the Tamron Adaptall, or at least I presume that these is a difference betweeen an Adaptall and an Adaptall 2 lens, apart from the mount.

I have no idea - you would have to ask IT in a report.

JPEG 2000 is hardly new, and has never caught on, so I don't think it will appear in cameras.

The advantage of JPEG is of course that the files open immediately in Photoshop and all other applications and they offer the most future proof format that we are likely to ever enjoy. I would expect to be able to continue to work with JPEG for any forseeable future.
