Nice choice of subject, not just "red" I see!

I hall put my Thinking Cap on....

The pentax 16-45mm is a terrific lens that is currently on offer at a terrific price.

Welcome to the forum, I've moved your query to the Flash forum which seemed more appropriate, so hopefully you will get a good response.

With a hotshoe or simply an accessory shoe adapter you could mount your gun on a tripod, be it a full sized one or a table-top design.

Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

Up to 26 entries now, and looking hopeful that it might end at the correct time....fingers crossed!

will, you are wasted at SRS, there's an ideal career for you at Blue Peter...

But seriously, it's a great idea and shows what can be done. I was going to say it could be a problem using it for weddings as no-one would take you seriously, but on the other hand it might be a great way to make people smile!

gartmore, I understand the point you are making, but I think at the moment that we just need to settle in to the new routine. Everyone has found this thread and everyone knows where the competition is. If anyone looked here, they would soon understand what was going on and I think that's the important thing.

Now that the gallery seems to be wroking OK we can relax and just enjoy entering.

In one sense I don't think it matters how we do it, just that we do it and everyone does the same thing.

As regards the gallery, to be honest I'm using EPZ-sized images so probably virtually no resizing takes place. If you want them to be considered "as is" for the magazine then they need to be 1500 pixels or longer on both sides. It actually stipulates that somewhere, but I'm not sure now where I read it.

Chris, will you be keeping Pets in your Penthouse?

We must make sure to start a thread for each competition as it does make a difference.

I had a chance to buy the A series version once at around £350.00

It was gorgeous, but at the time I didn't have the cash with me and it was cash or nothing. That's the way it goes.

I just thought I'de check how we were doing with the latest competition and there are so far 24 entries. Comparing that with a sample at random, I clicked on Competition 53 and in the old format there were also 24 entries.

What is Quite Interesting is that not everyone has left their images in situ on their web hosting service, so there are already several images missing from the forum based version. The Gallery based system means that the uploaded images will stay there for us to view at our leisure in the future.
