There's a lot of stuff in there and I'll be taking a longer look probably tomorrow.

I admit that would look suspicious. Worth taking a photograph of really.

So if we all look odd, how will they know who to report?

So which one of us is claiming to look "odd" I wonder?

In general, in the UK, we are free to photograph anything from public land. Or anyone as there is no law of privacy as such.

From private land permission should be sought.

This is the advice I worked under when shooting people's properties for the Images of England project for English Heritage.

Obviously, although technically within the law, setting up a ladder to photograph over someon'es high hedges would be foolish and likely to cause problems, so common sense in dealing with people is the wise course of action.

In several years of doing this there were no incidents.

It was very curious when we were in Lytham recently and I was shooting some images on the sea front. I was right in front of some people, pointing the camera straight at them and they never flinched for a second. I could have been invisible.

A friend at the camera club shot a whole sequence of shots in a large supermarket, for the purpose of making a Pictures to Exe slide show. Did anyone confront him or any security guard challenge him? Not a one. But then he's the sort of person who when he approaches a family group and say, "I'd like to take some pictures of your daughter" they just say "OK, that's fine." Seriously, he gets away with it.

I would expect the performance of both lenses to be just fine. The later AL lens gives the opportunity to reduce the number of elements - I think from 7 to 5 - but I would expect similar performance.

Wide angle lenses are usually used at smaller apertures, say f8 or less, as often they are iused to maximise depth of field.

Have you checked them out on Photodo?

Welcome to the forum.

The Your Photos section is intended for members to share their images and get feedback.

It wouldn't do much of a favour if everyone went elsewhere to do that...

Actually George, mischievously brief though his words are, has hit the nail pretty much on the proverbial head.

Personally, I prefer the 100mm for most applications, but the 50mm is ideal for documents as it avoids unnecessarily long working distances.

35mm on digital would in theory be roughly equivalent to a 50mm on film, but for me it's splitting hairs.

The point of the rule is to avoid someone posting a different entry in response to what they see being posted by others, maybe even constantly changing their picture as the week goes on.

Correcting your existing entry is fine as long as the correction relates to the process of posting, as does yours.

I'd be less happy about an entry being withdrawn, worked on some more and then being reposted. This would be an aesthetic modification rather than just a technical correction.

Hope that makes sense, but the short answer for Utopia Poppy is that as the image is the same one that's just fine!
