To be honest I have no idea, but if it's a problem then do please make a Report and IT will have a look at it.

I review what I have typed before I press "Add Comment" which saves a step.

Now that the weekly competition is in the Gallery section, just a reminder that every week our competition runs on automatically.

You can now upload directly into the Competition without worrying too much about image size and without needing to link to Photobucket or the like.

PentaxAngel has set this week's theme, so let's show our fellow member proper support!

You're free to disagree as you wish.

You can edit your posts now for a period of time and if you were really stuck with something you could always ask a Mod to edit it for you at any time.

I have noticed that since the issue arose you have felt the need to edit every post you have made. No-one else seems to do this, so I guess you're perhaps just trying to make a point. :

How about you both put your lenses on eBay at a Buy It Now price that's the same, buy each other's lenses and pay each other the amount via PayPal to get Buyer Protection?

Then you could each send the lenses by Insured mail at your own cost.

There have been so many bugs fixed and so many changes implemented in the face of very hostile "requests" that I think you're being somewhat unfair.

No doubt the dust is settling and if things need further change then Pete and his team will be looking at it constantly to make it as successful as possible.

The Competition was moved to the Gallery to enable new features such as direct uploading, bigger image sizes, the potential of images being used in PU magazine, an automatic move from one week to the next competition so there is no loss of continuity and easier judging for the judges. I found it much easier to judge than in a forum setting.

I do however recognise that separating it out from the forum means a few clicks are needed to view the current competition. I did wonder if this would make it more detached and in a sense it does, but I can assure you that it is still ours and you know as well as I do that there's a current competition every week.

So far I reckon that 90% of what people asked for has been taken up and the remainder either have technical difficultues to implement or have been decided against. Let's see the positive aspects and just get on with talking Pentax?

I notice that PU has a news item mention in the new issue of AP, due in the shops Tuesday.

We may well have lots of new visitors! Welcome in advance to anyone who drops by, hope you stay around, and I'm sure you'll have a warm welcome!

This one was different images, shot on a tripod. There is very likely some wind movement between shots, but I don't understand the apparent overlap of clouds.

It makes it look like the clouds have been blended in from another shot, but they haven't.

We use the Interfit IR transmitters, obtainable from Jessops or other dealers.

It would be used for off camera flash and studio flash. In the latter case we use IR transmitters now, so no need for synch sockets any more!

Here's another shot at HDR. I am after a particular look for these and this is getting closer. What do you guys think? All comments happily received, good or not so good!
