Thank you Tel, but I am actually "doing my own thing" right now! None of us ever sleep you know!

Always true, and there are some outright beginners struggling with the web. Some websites are more user friendly than others for real beginners, but I guess we were all beginners once.

Photography from a publicly accessible area is allowed, unless something specifically stops it. Trafalgar Square may well be a special case, with its own bye-laws, but that sort of thing is still very rare.

The English Heritage Images of England Photographers' Manual spelled that out.

It's always a good idea not to be confrontational though. Being right is OK, but we still need to be reasonable to avoid pointless conflict.

Generally speaking I think new members will soon pick that up, but if it ever becomes an issue I'm sure that it can be addressed.

You will find that we are all identified as "Pentax User Team" so the information is freely available.

You can also look at the Admin Team list, actually labelled Pentax User Team but I don't think Matt and I are on that section.

Alternatively any problems can be put into a report.

There are plenty of avenues to communicate with the Team, and the Team are always happy to hear from you.

We move in shadows.....

Ever met Mattmatic? Ever met PentaxDan? And the man in charge is, not me I'm afraid, but Pete.

I might be the one who's around most, or maybe just the loudest. I wish I were the richest....

You are under a misapprehension if you believe there is only one Moderator on this site.

I also did actually take some impartial advice as well, as I agree it's very important to be fair. A second opinion is always nice when there are tricky decisions to make.

I notice in the letter to the mayor they say their pictures were taken from them
I thought it said that "their pictures were taken" by which I think she meant that they in their turn were photographed.

If their images had been physically taken away then they couldn't have posted them on the website. It would indeed have been an offence to take their images away from them.

I think it may have been a bit of sloppy letter writing there.

Normally you would copy from a card, so the originals are still safe on the card.

If you then copied them separately to your backup drive then it might mean that you have a set independednt of what Lightroom does, but maybe that depends on whether you are mirroring your main drive or how else it is all set up.

Hopefully a Lightroom user will be along in a moment or two to clarify that point!
