I keep trying to stamp on your Avatar sockpuppet, but it keeps getting away.

We usually have a discussion thread on the current weekly competition, so I've started one here as it seems a logical place to do so.

There are some interesting takes this week on what I thought was quite a challenging subject. How to encapsulate the world today in one image...not easy to find a definitive statement.

Don't forget to have a go over at Gallery>Competitions. We are up to the second page of images now!

I'm sure we've had this conversation somewhere...I think I would leave SR on with a monopod, especially if I'm using it because the image continues to waver all over the place.

For me it's hand held with SR on or tripod with SR off. Monopods I never could get to grips with.

I use IE7 and Firefox. It's entirely possible to use whatever browsers we want to for specific purposes.

Most users use IE in one form or another (if you use 6 then it's worth thinking about upgrading to 7) and sometimes there are compatibility issues with others on some websites.

Whatever suits the individual is the right choice.

THe spores are everywhere in the air and might well be already inside the lenses when new.

We keep our current kit in Billingham bags, but little used stuff is on a open shelf, dry, with plenty of air circulation.

The SMC Pentax 15mm f3.5 was around £1300 I think and when I bought one a few years ago (used) it cost £425.

I think the A version would fetch a higher price, but the K version I would expect to go significantly over £200 on eBay.

It's a great lens for film, based on the original Zeiss design, but for dogital I am sure there are much better ultra-wide lenses.

I have now revised the "Rules and Guidance" for the weekly competitions.

If anyone has any problems with sorting out the new system, just ask.
